If we will connect the resistors 2ohms, 3ohms, 5ohms in series and the 10ohms resistance parallel then we get equivalent resistance of 5 ohms.

The equivalent circuit is,

R equivalent for the series connection is,

\begin{gathered} Req(S)=2+3+5=10ohms \\ Now,\text{ } \\ Req\text{ }for\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }and\text{ }10\text{ }ohms\text{ }is, \\ \frac{1}{Req}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \\ So, \\ Req=5\text{ ohms} \end{gathered}

The equivalent resistance is 5 ohms.

So your friend is saying true.

1.Which statement is true when two objects are 20 miles apart but one is much bigger?
Paha777 [63]

1. C.  Gravitational attraction exists between the two objects.

Explanation:

Gravitational attraction is always exerted between two objects which have mass, and its magnitude is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the two objects, and r the separation between them. Since the two objects have for sure non-zero masses m1 and m2, even if they are 20 miles apart, the value of the gravitational attraction F is non-zero, so the correct answer is C.


2. D.  Two atoms come together to form a molecule.

Explanation:

this outcome is actually caused by the electrostatic forces between the two atoms, not by gravitational force. In fact, gravitational force becomes relevant only when the masses of the two objects involved are large enough: this is the case for planets, stars, galaxies, and objects in the universe. However, two atoms have very small masses, so the gravitational force between them is really negligible. On this smaller scales, the electrostatic force is much stronger than the gravitational force, so the electrostatic force is the real responsible for the formation of bonds between atoms.

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed. A person is limited in the total work he or she can do only by the total energ
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Explanation:

In this question we have to choose the statements related to Power that are True.

In this sense, Power P is the speed with which work W is done. Its unit is Watts (W), being 1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}.  

Power is mathematically expressed as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time during which work W is performed.

On the other hand, the Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm ).

So, according to this explanation, the true statements are:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Apply the law of conservation of energy and describe the energy transformations that occur as you coast down a long hill on a bi
m_a_m_a [10]
As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom.

A roller coaster will have higher kinetic energy at the lower hill because it will have already been moving as opposed to the initial hill. But I'm not one hundred percent certain. You can always google this stuff, but I do know for sure that at the first hill, the roller coaster will have higher potential energy.
Hope this helps!
