Since the resistors are in parallel, each one has the same voltage applied across their terminals.

The smaller the resistance of the resistor, the greater the current passing through it:

$V=I\cdot R$

But since all resistors have the same voltage, the voltage drop is the same for all three resistors.

Correct option: four

Starting at 1.0 m/s, a cheetah runs with a constant acceleration for 4.8 s reaching a speed of 28 m/s. What is the acceleration

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

c. $5.6m/s^2$

Explanation:

Initial velocity of cheetah,u=1 m/s

Time taken by cheetah =4.8 s

Final velocity of cheetah,v=28 m/s

We have to find the acceleration of this cheetah.

We know that

Acceleration, $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Where v=Final velocity of object

u=Initial velocity of object

t=Time taken by object

Using the formula

Then, we get

Acceleration, a= $\frac{28-1}{4.8}=\frac{27}{4.8} m/s^2$

Acceleration= $a=5.6 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of cheetah= $5.6m/s^2$

If Fg=mg solve for g

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:Fg = mg however newtons second law states that the net force acting on an object is equal to it's mass times it's acceleration so what allows us to say that Fg = mg because certainly not for every single situation the net force is going to equal to the force of gravity please explain... what allows us to say Fg = mg

A feather, a marble, and a cannonball are dropped from the same height at

Vika [28.1K]

The correct answer is that they would all hit the ground at the same time. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube.
