BigorU [14]2 years ago

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}.

A bowl contains 4 red balls and 2 green balls. Two balls are selected simultanesouly and at random. What is the conditional prob
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:0.6

Explanation:

Given

Bowl contains 4 red and 2 Green balls

Probability of selecting two red balls given atleast one of the ball is red + Probability of selecting two red balls given that no ball is red =1

Probability of selecting two red balls given that no ball is red =\frac{Probability \ of\ selecting\ two\ red\ balls\ out\ of\ 4\ balls}{probability\ of\ selecting\ 2\ balls\ out\ of\ 6 balls}

P=\frac{^{4}C_2}{^{6}C_2}

P=\frac{2}{5}

Required Probability=1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}

A car travelling at a constant speed of 70km/h passes a stationary police car. The police car immediately goes on the chase acce
Virty [35]

Answer:

18.24 seconds

Explanation:

First you convert the km/h to m/s, 70km/h=(175/9)m/s,85km/h=(425/18)m/s.

You know it took 10 seconds for the police to reach 85 km/h. Calculate the distance that the car is ahead of the police (175/9)*10=1750/9m. Then by divide 1750/9 with 425/18, you will get the value 8.24. Add the 10 seconds with the 8.24 you will get 18.24 sec which is the total time.

It is 5.00 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10.0 k
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a. Walking burns up more energy.

b. 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Explanation:

a. We know energy W = Pt where P = power and t = time.

Now for walking, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 3.00 km/hr and P = 290 W

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/3.00 km/hr = 5/3 hr = 5/3 × 3600 s = 6000 s

W = Pt = 290 W × 6000 s = 1740000 = 1740 kJ

Now for running, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 10.00 km/hr

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/10.00 km/hr = 0.5 hr = 0.5 × 3600 s = 1800 s and P = 700 W

W = Pt = 700 W × 1800 s = 1260000 = 1260 kJ

Since walking burns up 1740 kJ and running burns up 1260 kJ, walking burns up more energy.

b. It burns up 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.
