Answer: 2.541884 meters

Explain:

Formula: s = 0.5 * g * t^2

Time of fall (t) is 0.72 while the gravitational acceleration rate is (9.80665m/s^2).

What is the change in internal energy of the system (∆U) in a process in which 10 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by the system an

Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics:

∆U= q + w

= 10kj+(-70kJ)

-60kJ

, w = + 70 kJ

(work done on the system is positive)

q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)

∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ

Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.

Three resistors are wired in parallel with a battery. Two of the resistors have resistances of 38.7 Q/ and 89.5 Q. The current i

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$214.9 \Omega$

Explanation:

The three resistors are connected in parallel: this means that the potential difference across each resistor is the same as the voltage of the battery. This can be calculated using the information about the $38.7 \Omega$ resistor: in fact, since we know its resistance and the current flowing through it (0.155 A), we can find the potential difference across this resistor, which is equal to the voltage of the battery:

$V=IR=(0.155 A)(38.7 \Omega)=6.0 V$

We also know the total current in the circuit, 0.250 A. This means that we can find the total resistance of the circuit, using Ohm's law:

$R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{6.0 V}{0.250 A}=24 \Omega$

So now we now the total resistance and the resistance of two of the 3 resistors; therefore, we can find the resistance of the 3rd resistor:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}\\\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{24 \Omega}-\frac{1}{38.7\Omega}-\frac{1}{89.5\Omega}=0.00465 \Omega^{-1}\\R_3=\frac{1}{0.00465 \Omega^{-1}}=214.9 \Omega$

Mariana [72]

Answer:

n = 2.0686

Explanation:

When an unpolarized ray of light is reflected on a surface, the reflected ray is partially polarized, complete polarization occurs when it is true that between the transmitted and reflected ray one has 90, the relationship is

n = so tea

let's calculate

n = tan 64.2

n = 2.0686
