Answer:

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance

What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to form a hardened slab of rock?
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>D. sill

A sill forms when hot magma squeezes between layers of rock to form a hardened sheet of rock. A sill is basically a tabular sheet intrusion between old layers of sedimentary rock, volcanic beds, or in the direction of foliation inherent in metamorphic rock. The word sill means a concordant intrusive sheet.</span>

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a building at an angle of 30.0° to the horizontal and with
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position = 45 +  20 sin (30) t  - 4.9 t^2

 when it hits ground this = 0

               0 = -4.9t^2 + 20 sin (30 ) t + 45

                0 = -4.9t^2 + 10 t +45 = 0     solve for t =4.22 sec

  max height is at  t= - b/2a = 10/9.8 =1.02

     use this value of 't' in the equation to calculate max height = 50.1 m

      it has  4.22 - 1.02 to free fall = 3.2 seconds free fall

           v = at = 9.81 * 3.2 = 31.39 m/s VERTICAL

      it will <u>also</u> still have horizontal velocity =  20 cos 30 = 17.32 m/s

        total velocity will be sqrt ( 31.39^2 + 17.32^2) = 35.85 m/s

Horizontal range = 20 cos 30  * t  =  20 *  cos 30  * 4.22 = 73.1 m

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.

A 5-cm-high peg is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 20 cm.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the magnification formula.

Magnification = Image distance(v)/object distance(u) = Image Height(H1)/Object Height(H2)

M = v/u = H1/H2

v/u = H1/H2...1

3) Given the radius of curvature of the concave lens R = 20cm

Focal length F = R/2

f = 20/2

f = 10cm

Object distance u = 5cm

Object height H2= 5cm

To get the image distance v, we will use the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/v = 1/10-1/5

1/v = (1-2)/10

1/v =-1/10

v = -10cm

Using the magnification formula

(10)/5 = H1/5

10 = H1

H1 = 10cm

Image height of the peg is 10cm

4) If u = 15cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/15

1/v = 3-2/30

1/v = 1/30

v = 30cm

30/15 = H1/5

15H1 = 150

H1/= 10cm

5) if u = 20cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/20

1/v = 2-1/20

1/v = 1/20

v = 20cm

20/20 = H1/5

20H1 = 100

H1 = 5cm

6) If u = 30cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/30

1/v = 3-1/30

1/v = 2/30

v = 30/2 cm

v =>15cm

15/30 = Hi/5

30H1 = 75

H1 = 75/30

H1 = 2.5cm
