Which of the following are scalar quantities?
kirill [66]

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.

A circuit contains two devices that are connected in parallel. If the resistance of one of these devices is 12 ohms and the resi
finlep [7]

<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

A paleontologist estimates that when a particular rock formed, it contained 12 mg of the radioactive isotope potassium-40, which
leva [86]

Answer:

t = 2.52 billion \:years

Explanation:

As we know by radioactivity law

N = N_o e^{-\lambda t}

so here we will have

N = 3 mg

N_o = 12 mg

now we will have

3 = 12 e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda t = ln 4

now we also know that

\lambda = \frac{ln2}{1.26 \times 10^6 yrs}

t = 1.26\times 10^6\times \frac{ln4}{ln2}

t = 2.52 billion \:years
