I don't know why the answer is D , because I can't see the list of choices.

The only way to get 8.0 Amps is by making a serious mistake.

The current in the second picture is 4.0 Amps.

If the resistors are identical, then the effective resistance of

two resistors in parallel is 1/2 the resistance of each one.

The resistance in the second picture is 1/2 the resistance

in the first picture.

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Cutting the resistance in half causes the current to double.

If the current was 2.0 Amps in the first picture, it's 4.0 Amps

in the second picture.

Two point charges, 1.8 pC and −1.8 pC, are separated by 7 µm. What is the dipole moment of this pair of charges?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 12,600,000Cm

Explanation:

From the data's;

Charges(q) = 1.8 PC equal to 1.8 x 10^¹²C

Distance = 7 micrometer, is equal to 0.0000070m

From the equation of electric dipole moment, p= q x d, where q= charge, d=distance and p is the dipole moment.

Then we have 1.8x10^¹² x 0.0000070= 12,600,000Cm

NB: The charges are identical.

A pomegranate is thrown from ground level straight up into the air at time t=0 with velocity 240 feet per second. Its height in

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

a) $t=15 s$

b) $t=7.5s$

c) $f(t)=900ft$

Explanation:

From the exercise we have the equation of height and the initial velocity of the pomegranate

$f(t)=240t-16t^{2}$

a)To find the time that it hits the ground we know that its position is 0

$0=240t-16t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic equation

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-16\\b=240\\c=0$

$t=0s$ or $t=15s$

Since time can not be 0, the answer is t=15s

b) To find the time that it reaches its highest point we need to analyze the velocity at that time

$v=\frac{df}{dt}$

$\frac{dt}{dt}=240-32t$

At the highest point its velocity is 0

$0=240-32t$

$t=\frac{240ft/s}{32ft/s^{2} }=7.5s$

c) To find the maximum height we need to use f(t) with t=7.5

$f(t)=240(7.5)-16(7.5)^{2}=900ft$
