The circuit is in parallel connection

Equivalent resistance = 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

From the information given,

R1 = 5

R2 = 2

R3 = 4

1/Req = 1/5 + 1/2 + 1/4 = (4 + 10 + 5)/20 = 19/20

Req = 20/19 = 1.053 ohms

I = V/R

Given that V = 12,

Current flow through circuit = 12/1.053 = 11.4 A

I1 + I2 + I3 = 11.4

I1 = 12/5 = 2.4 A

I2 = 12/2 = 6 A

I3 = 12/4 = 3A

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery until it is fully charged. Then, the capacitor is disconnected from the bat
Helga [31]

Answer:

The potential between the plates will decrease.

Explanation:

An insulator is usually placed between the parallel plates and is also called a dielectric because it makes the amount of charge a capacitor can accommodate to increase at a particular potential difference.

Furthermore, the dielectric effect will make the electric field of the charged capacitor which is not connected to a source of supply to decrease.

Now, when the battery is removed, the charge Q remains constant and Capacity C will increase.

Formula for the potential difference is here;

V = Q/C

Since the numerator Q is constant and the denominator C increases, it means the potential difference V will decrease

A 100-kg tackler moving at a speed of 2.6 m/s meets head-on (and holds on to) an 92-kg halfback moving at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Pa
DIA [1.3K]

Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.

Can someone please help me ASAP!
Artist 52 [7]
I’m not 100% sure but i think it’s A because if you divide the speed by the time you get 2 and also all the other answer choices don’t make any sense!
