Hi there! :)
Reference the diagram below for clarification.
1.
We must begin by knowing the following rules for resistors in series and parallel.
In series:
In parallel:
We can begin solving for the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel using the parallel rules.
Now that we have reduced the parallel resistors to a 'single' resistor, we can add their equivalent resistance with the other resistor in parallel (15 Ohm) using series rules:
2.
We can use Ohm's law to solve for the current in the circuit.
3.
For resistors in series, both resistors receive the SAME current.
Therefore, the 15Ω resistor receives 6A, and the parallel COMBO (not each individual resistor, but the 5Ω equivalent when combined) receives 6A.
In this instance, since both of the resistors in parallel are equal, the current is SPLIT EQUALLY between the two. (Current in parallel ADDS UP). Therefore, an even split between 2 resistors of 6 A is <u>3A for each 10Ω resistor</u>.
4.
Since the 15.0 Ω resistor receives 6A, we can use Ohm's Law to solve for voltage.
Answer:
Use of telemetry and radar astronomy
Explanation:
An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.
After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.
The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.
A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured, once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using
distance = speed X time.
However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors
ANSWER:
d. remains a non-zero constant.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
If we consider that there is no air resistance and that the horizontal component would be at x, the velocity remains a non-zero constant
