Option D

The resistance in machine is 8.5 ohms

Solution:

Given that,

Power = 1700 W

Voltage = 120 V

We have to find the resistance in machine

The formula used is:

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

Where,

"P" is the electric power and "V" is the voltage and "R" is the resistance

Substituting the given values we get,

$1700 = \frac{120^2}{R}\\\\1700 = \frac{14400}{R}\\\\R = \frac{14400}{1700}\\\\R = \frac{144}{17}\\\\R = 8.47 \approx 8.5$

Thus resistance in machine is 8.5 ohms

Answer:

Due to suffocation and toxic paint.

Explanation:

The population of hermit crabs has been decreasing because of suffocation and poison. Many crabs actually die slowly from suffocation because their gills require high humidity in order to breathe properly. Hermit crabs are slowly poisoned by tap water in which the toxic substances present in the paint that dissolves their shells that leads to the death of hermit crabs.

Answer:

774.8 secs

Explanation:

distance(d)= speed(v)* time(t)

calculate speed:

refractive index = speed of light (c)/ speed of light in medium (v)

1.56 = 3*10^8*v

v=192307692.3 m/s

d = v *t
