What is the equivalent resistance of the

Physics
1 answer:
BigorU [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Approximately 111\; {\rm \Omega}.

Explanation:

It is given that R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega} and R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega} are connected in a circuit in parallel.

Assume that this circuit is powered with a direct current power supply of voltage V.

Since R_{1} and R_{2} are connected in parallel, the voltage across the two resistors would both be V. Thus, the current going through the two resistors would be (V / R_{1}) and (V / R_{2}), respectively.

Also because the two resistors are connected in parallel, the total current in this circuit would be the sum of the current in each resistor: I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2}).

In other words, if the voltage across this circuit is V, the total current in this circuit would be I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2}). The (equivalent) resistance R of this circuit would be:

\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{V}{I} \\ &= \frac{V}{(V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})}\end{aligned}.

Given that R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega} and R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}:

\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/(200\: {\rm \Omega})) + (1/(250\; {\rm \Omega}))} \\ &\approx 111\; {\rm \Omega}\end{aligned}.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Select three options.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Description of an object in projectile motion is;

  • Gravity acts to pull the object down.
  • The object’s inertia carries it forward.
  • The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The path of the projectile is usually curved, and NOT straight, due to the influence of gravity on it which is teh only force acting on it-, causing it motion path to fall towards the earth. Most projectiles follow a parabolic path. The projectile, even though it was launched, its motion is then only due to its own inertia – tendency to stay in motion in a straight line, or rest, unless an external force is acting on it - such as drag or friction.  An example of such projectile motion is of ballistic missiles.

Which of the following cannot be determined from the spectrum of a star?
Aneli [31]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above would be the last option. It is the chemicals in the core of the star that cannot be determined from the spectrum of a star. Spectrum shows the different classification of the stars depending on their spectral characteristics. It usually involves the light, the wavelength and the distance.

Describe the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas when temperature and mass are constant
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The product of Pressure and Volume is a constant.

Explanation:

We know the Ideal gas equation,

PV  =  nRT,

where,

P -  Pressure of the gas

V -  Volume of the gas

n -  No. of moles of the gas taken

R -  Universal Gas Constant.

T - Temperature of the gas.

We know that ,  n  =  \frac{wt}{Mwt}

where, wt - Mass of gass ; Mwt - Molecular weight of the gas.

We are given the weight of the gas remains constant (wt is a constant)

Therefore as n = \frac{wt}{Mwt},(where both wt and Mwt are constants)

n is a constant in this process.

Universal gas constant is a constant

Given temperature is a constant.

Therefore,

As, PV = nRT,  (where n,R,T are constants),

PV is a constant.

Therefore we can say,

PV = k,  for some constant k.

If we plot a graph for P vs V , we get a Rectangular Hyperbola( One of the general forms of a Rectangular Hyperbola is xy = c)
