A).  The drawing looks like a ladder with 4 rungs.
One rung is a 90-volt battery.
The other 3 rungs are the 3 resistors.

b).  The equivalent resistance is the reciprocal of (1/15 + 1/30 + 1/60).
That's the reciprocal of  7/60, or about 8.571... ohms. 

c).  I = V/R = 90 / 8.571...  =  10.5 Amperes.

d).  The 60-ohm resistor is connected directly across the battery.

Power = V²/R = (90²) / 60  =  135 watts.  Better COOL that baby !

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem relates to interference of light in thin films .

The condition of bright fringe in thin films which is sandwitched by two layers of medium having lesser refractive index  is as follows.

2nt = (2n+1) λ / 2  , n is refractive index of thin layer , t is its thickness ,  λ is wavelength of light .

2 x 1.5 t = λ / 2 , if n = 0 for minimum thickness.

2 x 1.5 t = 600 / 2 nm

t = 100 nm .

Allisa [31]

Answer:

the net force applied to the car is zero.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object (a) is directly proportional to the net force applied (F):

a=\frac{F}{m}

where m is the object's mass.

In this problem, the car is moving with constant velocity: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0. Therefore, according to the previous equation, the net force must also be zero: F = 0. So, the correct answer is

the net force applied to the car is zero.
