Hi there!

Since the two resistors are in series, we can simply add:
$R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ... R_n$

$R_T = 20 + 5 = \boxed{25 \Omega}$

In series, the potential difference of each resistor (lamp) ADDS UP. We can begin by finding the current through the circuit using Ohm's law:
$V = IR\\\\I = \frac{V}{R_T}$

Plug in the values:
$I = \frac{50}{25} = 2 A$

Now,

we can use Ohm's law to find the individual voltage for each lamp.

20 Ohm lamp:
$V = 2 * 20 = \boxed{40 V}$

5 Ohm lamp:
$V = 2 * 5 = \boxed{10 V}$

To solve, we can use the power equation.

$P (\text{Watts})= IV$

Plug in the values for each.

20 Ohm lamp:
$P = 2 * 40 = \boxed{80 W}$

5 Ohm lamp:
$P = 2 * 10 = \boxed{100 W}$

A car drives 215 km east and then 45 km north. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? Round your answer to the nearest

34kurt

Displacement = (straight-line distance between the start point and end point) .

Since the road east is perpendicular to the road north,
the car drove two legs of a right triangle, and the magnitude
of its final displacement is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Length of the hypotenuse = √ (215² + 45²)

= √ (46,225 + 2,025)

= √ 48,250

= 219.7 miles .

Hello guys! Can u please help me with physics. I translated it in English. Can yall help me please how much u can!!

1. Since the body is thrown vertically upward, the only force acting on it as it rises and falls is gravity, which causes a constant downward acceleration with magnitude g = 9.8 m/s². Because this acceleration is constant, we can use the formula

v² - u² = 2a ∆x

where

u = initial speed

v = final speed

a = acceleration

∆x = displacement

At its maximum height, some distance y above the point where the body is launched, the body has zero velocity, so

0² - (20 m/s)² = 2 (-9.8 m/s²) y

Solve for y :

y = (20 m/s)² / (2 (9.8 m/s²)) ≈ 20.4 m

2. Relative to the ground, the body's maximum height is 60 m + 20.4 m ≈ 80.4 m.

3. At any time t ≥ 0, the body's vertical velocity is given by

v = 20 m/s - gt

At the highest point, we have

0 = 20 m/s - (9.8 m/s²) t

and solving for t gives

t = (20 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.04 s

4. The body's height y above the ground at any time t ≥ 0 is given by

y = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 gt²

Solve for t when y = 0 :

0 = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) t²

Using the quadratic formula,

t = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

(and omitting the negative root, which gives a negative solution) where a = -1/2 (9.8 m/s²), b = 20 m/s, and c = 60 m. You should end up with

t ≈ 6.09 s

5. At the time found in (4), the body's velocity is

v = 20 m/s - g (6.09 s) ≈ -39.7 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, so the speed in question is 39.7 m/s.

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T. If the pendulum is take

Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

$T =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that $2 \pi$ is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

$T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

$g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty$

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.
