-- With two resistors in parallel, the total effective resistance is
the reciprocal of  (1/R₁ + 1/R₂).

1/R₁ + 1/R₂  = 1/15 + 1/40

= 8/120 + 3/120

= 11/120

So the total effective resistance is 120/11 = 10.9 ohms .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

= 12 / (120/11)

= (12 · 11) / 120

= 132/120  =  1.1 Amperes

An engine does 15.0 kj of work while exhausting 37.0 kj to the cold reservoir. What is the efficiency of the engine?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

28.8 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of an engine is given by:

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_{in}}

where

W is the useful work done

Q_in is the heat in input

For this machine, we have

W = 15.0 kJ is the work done

37.0 kJ is the heat exchausted to the cold reservoir, so the total amount of heat in input is

Q_{in} = 15.0 kJ + 37.0 kJ=52.0 kJ

And so the efficiency is

\eta=\frac{15.0 kJ}{52.0 kJ}=0.288

which corresponds to 28.8 %.

Assume your eye has an aperture diameter of 3.00 mm at night when bright headlights are pointed at it. 1) At what distance can y
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The distance is 6259.31 meters.

Explanation:

We shall use the Reyligh criterion to solve the problem

For diffraction due to circular aperture we have

Assuming that human eye is circular we have

\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}

\therefore D=\frac{xd}{1.22\lambda }

Applying the given values we have

D=\frac{1.40\times 3\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 550\times 10^{-9}}\\\\\therefore D=6259.31m\\D=6.26km

Joel uses a claw hammer to remove a nail from a wall. He applies a force of 40 newtons on the hammer. The hammer applies a force
jarptica [38.1K]

Hi!


Mechanical advantage is defined as the<em> ratio of force produced by an object to the force that is applied to it.</em>

In our case, this would be the ratio of the force applied by the claw hammer on the nail to the force Joel applies to the claw hammer, which is

160:40 or 4:1

So the mechanical advantage of the hammer is four.


Hope this helps!
