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:
R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n

In parallel:
\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_n}

We can begin solving for the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel using the parallel rules.

\frac{1}{R_{T, parallel}} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{T, parallel}} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}\\\\R_{T, parallel} = 5\Omega

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:
R_T = 15 + 5\\\\\boxed{R_T = 20 \Omega}

2.

We can use Ohm's law to solve for the current in the circuit.

i = \frac{V}{R_T}\\\\i = \frac{120}{20} = \boxed{6 A}

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.

V = iR\\\\V = (6)(15) = \boxed{90 V}

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

V_a= Velocity of airplane in still air

V_w= Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)

Subtracting the two equations we get

V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Why do sound engineers use spongy materials in the walls? (1 point)
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

o to increase the frequency of sound waves. It increases the sound waves to a level of frequency that humans cannot hear so you won't be able to hear many things though the wall other then low noises like pounding.

Explanation:

I am in construction class as well as a student teacher for other construction type programs trust me :D

A 4 kg toy car moves horizontally on a rough road with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2. It accelerates from rest to 20 m/s i
attashe74 [19]

The total work done on the car is 784Joule.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the car?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V= U+at
  • U= initial velocity= 0 m/s

V= vinal velocity= 20m/s

t= time = 10s

a= acceleration

  • So, 20= 0+ 10a

=> a= 20/10= 2m/s²

<h3>What's the distance covered by the car in 10 seconds?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion,

V²-U² = 2aS

  • S= distance covered by the car
  • So, 20²-0=2×2×S=4S

=> 400= 4S

=> S= 400/4= 100m

<h3>What's the work done on the car due to frictional force?</h3>

Work done by frictional force= frictional force × distance

= (0.2×4×9.8)×100

= 784Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the work done on the car is 784Joule.
