Expression to calculate energy from voltage: E= V*Q where E= energy, V= voltage, and Q= charge
Additional help:
-To find the Voltage ( V )
[ V = I x R ] V (volts) = I (amps) x R (Ω)
-To find the Current ( I )
[ I = V ÷ R ] I (amps) = V (volts) ÷ R (Ω)
-To find the Resistance ( R )
[ R = V ÷ I ] R (Ω) = V (volts) ÷ I (amps)
I hope that helps to some extent-
Answer
Explanation:
As the three resistors are connected in series, the expression to be used for the
calculation of RT equivalent resistance
is:
RT = R1 + R2 + R3
We replace the data of the statement in the previous expression and it remains:
5 10 15 RT + R1 + R2 + R3 + +
We perform the mathematical operations that lead us to the result we are looking for:
RT - 30Ω
Personally, I agree with your answer, namely that the likely-intended event happening here is one of acceleration. Having said that, I also want to add: it pains me to see this type of wording because, clearly, it is vague and only invites confusion of the type you are talking about.
Good luck!
