Answer:

Ionizing radiation is radiation with enough energy so that during an interaction with an atom, it can remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing the atom to become charged or ionized. ... Forms of electromagnetic radiation.

This outlaw is executed by hanging "in the spring of '25" by

irina [24]

The outlaw that was executed by hanging "in the spring of '25" is identified as the HIGHWAYMAN.

This is one of the characters in the song, "American Remains", sang by The Highwaymen. The group consisted of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Other characters in the song were a sailor, a dam builder, and a pilot of a starship.

This is the first stanza of the song:

"I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side 
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade 
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade 
The b*stards hung me in the spring of twenty-five 
But I am still alive."

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2$

In parallel

$\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}$

$\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0$

Solving the above quadratic equation

$\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega$

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm
