Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Total current will be 18 v/ 8 ohms + 18v / 24 ohms = 3 amps

Equivalent resistance = 1 / (1/8 + 1/24) = 6 Ω

Answer:

Impedance, Z = 107 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 100 ohms

Inductance, $L=800\ mH=800\times 10^{-3}\ H=0.8\ H$

Capacitance, $C=10\ \mu F=10\times 10^{-6}\ F=10^{-5}\ F$

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

Voltage, V = 120 V

The impedance of the circuit is given by :

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_C-X_L)^2}$ ...........(1)

Where

$X_C$ is the capacitive reactance, $X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC}$

$X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \times 60\times 10^{-5}}=265.65\ \Omega$

$X_L$ is the inductive reactance, $X_L={2\pi fL}$

$X_L={2\pi \times 60\times 0.8}=301.59\ \Omega$

So, equation (1) becomes :

$Z=\sqrt{(100)^2+(265.65-301.59)^2}$

Z = 106.26 ohms

Z = 107 ohms

So, the impedance of the circuit is 107 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

A cork shoots out of a champagne bottle at an angle of 40.0 above the horizontal. If the cork travels a horizontal distance of 1

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The initial speed of the cork was 1.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the horizontal position of the cork in function of time is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos θ

Where:

x = horizontal position at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial speed of the cork.

t = time.

θ = launching angle.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point, then x0 = 0.

We know that at t = 1.25 s, x = 1.50 m. We also know the launching angle so we can solve the equation of horizontal position for the initial speed, v0:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

x / t · cos θ = v0

v0 = 1.50 m / (1.25 s · cos (40.0°)

v0 = 1.57 m/s

The initial speed of the cork was 1.57 m/s.

A hot air balloon is traveling vertically upward at a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. When it is 28 m above the ground, a package is

ella [17]

Answer:

1.97 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21=4.5t+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 21=-4.5t-4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2+4.5t-28=0\\\Rightarrow 49t^2+45t-280=0$

Solving the above equation we get

$t=\frac{-45+\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}, \frac{-45-\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}\\\Rightarrow t=1.97, -2.89$

So, the time the package was in the air is 1.97 seconds
