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 !

A toy floats in a swimming pool. The buoyant force exerted on the toy depends on the volume ofa. none of these choices.b. all th
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:c

Explanation:

The buoyancy force on toy depends upon the volume of toy under pool water.

According to Archimedes principle buoyant force on a floating body depends upon the weight of displaced liquid by object.

Buoyancy force is given by

F_b=\rho _f\times V\times g

where \rho _f=density of fluid

V=volume of object under water

g=acceleration due to gravity

An eagle flying at 35 m/s emits a cry whose frequency is 440 Hz. A blackbird is moving in the same direction as the eagle at 10
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a)  F=475.7Hz

b)  F'=410.899Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity of eagle V_1=35m/s

Frequency of eagle F_1=440Hz

Velocity of Black bird V_2=10m/s

Speed of sound s=343m/s

a)

Generally the equation for Frequency is mathematically given by

 F=f_0(\frac{v-v_2}{v-v_1})

 F=440(\frac{343-10}{343-35})

 F=475.7Hz

b)

Generally the equation for Frequency is mathematically given by

 F'=f_0(\frac{v+v_2}{v+v_1})

 F'=440(\frac{343+10}{343+35})

 F'=410.899Hz

nalin [4]
 <span>a) 
Capacitance = k x ε° x area / separation 
ε° = 8.854 10^-12 F/ m 
k = 2.4max 
average k = 0.78 / 1.27 * 2.4 +(1.27- 0.78) / 1.27 * 1 = 1.474 + 0.386 = 1.86 
(61.4 % separation k = 2.4 --- 38.6 % k = 1 air --- average k = 0.614 * 2.34 + 0.386 * 1 = 1.86 
area = 145 cm2 = 0.0145 m2 
separation = 1.27 cm 0.0127 m 

C = 1.86 * 8.854 10^-12 * 0.0145 / 0.0127 = 18.8 pF 
b) Q = C * V --- 18.8 * 83 = 1560.4 pC = 1.5604 nC 
c) E = V / d = 83 / 0.0127 = 6535.4 V/m </span>
