The largest value of current that the breaker can carry = Imax=35.4A

Explanation:

Rms value of current= Irms= 25 A

The rms current and the maximum current are related as

Imax= √2 Irms

Imax=√2 (25)

Imax=35.4 A

Thus the maximum current carried by the breaker= 35.4 A

What are all stars made of
ivolga24 [154]
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2

For parallel combination,

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one  that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.

A research submarine has a 20-cm-diameter window that is 9.0 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The maximum safe depth in salt water is 3758.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 20 cm

Radius = 10 cm

Thickness = 9.0 cm

Force F = 1.2\times10^{6}\ N

Inside pressure = 1.0 atm

We need to calculate the area

Using formula of area

A=\pi\times r^2

Put the value into the formula

A=\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2

A=0.0314\ m^2

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of pressure

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{1.2\times10^{6}}{0.0314}

P=38216560.50\ Pa

P=3.8\times10^{7}\ Pa

We need to calculate the maximum depth

Using equation of pressure

P=P_{atm}+\rho gh

h=\dfrac{P-P_{atm}}{\rho g}

Put the value into the formula

h=\dfrac{3.8\times10^{7}-101325}{1029\times9.8}

h=3758.2\ m

Hence, The maximum safe depth in salt water is 3758.2 m.
