Answer:

becuase counting by hours is more complicated. then days, to make it easier to understand instead of saying I will see you in 48 hours... its easier to understand and think to say see you in 2 days!

Explanation:

hope this helps. also we did not determine time. people from history did so... wasnt really my choice or anyones!

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

current by toaster is

I = $\frac{1140}{120}$

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = $\frac{270}{120}$

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = $\frac{80}{120}$

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Given a 10-V power supply, would a 20-ohm resistor and a 5-ohm resistor need to be arranged in parallel or in series to generate

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Explanation:

We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.

We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.

Using ohm's law we have

V = I*R

V= voltage

I= current

R= resistance

10 = 2.5*R

R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm

that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.

since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2}\\ = \frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{1+4}{20} =\frac{1}{4}$

R(net) =4ohm

Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.

we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.

We know that the voltage in parallel remains same

In 20 ohm resistance

again using ohms law

V = i1*R1

10 = i1*20

i1 = 0.5A

in 5ohm resistor

V=i2*R2

10 = I2*5

i2 =2A

and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.

Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

What are the two forces that are acting on the skydiver? What is

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Gravity provides a downward force, resulting in the diver going downward. They speed up like any falling object would, the pull of gravity is a dominant force. (There is a drag force – as a result of moving through the air.)

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

$x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t$

and the police car distance:

$x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

$0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\$

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being $t=0$

The second solution will be:

$0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s$

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder
