Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

R1 = 2

R2 = 4

R = 2*4 / (2 + 4)

R = 8 / 6

R = 1.3333

Current R1

R1 = 2 ohms

V = 12 volts

I = ?

V = I * R

12  = I * 2

12/2 = I

I = 6 amperes.

Current R2

V = 12 volts

R = 4 ohms

I = ?

V = I * R

12 = I * 4

12/4 = I

I = 3 amps

In order to slide a heavy desk across the floor at constant speed in a straight line, you have to exert a horizontal force of 80
notka56 [123]
The hint is "constant speed". 
If there is a net force on an object, what occurs to that object? F net = m*a.... It accelerates! 
So, if the desk is going at a CONSTANT speed, what does that tell you about the acceleration? There is a change in speed. 
Fnet = m*a Since a = 0 Fnet = 0 
Fnet = sum of the force... reflect the direction of F as the positive direction. Sum of the forces in the direction of F = 0 0 = F - friction F = friction 
So, if F = 800 N, then friction = 800 N in the opposite direction.

A particular Bohr orbit in a hydrogen atom has a total energy of -0.28 eV . What is the kinetic energy of the electron in this o
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Explanation:

The total energy of an electron in an orbit consists of two components

1 ) Potential energy which is - ve because the field is attractive

2) Kinetic energy which represents moving electron having some velocity.

Kinetic is always positive.

3 ) In an orbit , The magnitude of potential energy is twice that of kinetic energy. So if -2E is the value of potential energy E wil be the value of kinetic energy.

4 ) Total energy will become some of potential energy and kinetic energy

-2E + E = -E

5 ) So total energy becomes equal to kinetic energy with only sign reversed.

In the given case total energy is -0.28 eV . Hence kinetic energy will be +0.28 eV.

When kinetic energy is calculated as +.28 eV , the potential energy will be

- 2 x .28 or - 0.56  eV .

A tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.0600 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.4 m/s and returns the shot with the ball
lora16 [44]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 50.4 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -37 m/s (As it returns)  

(a) Let J is the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball by the racket. It can be calculated as the change in momentum as :

J=m(v-u)

J=0.06\times (-37-(50.4))  

J = -5.24 kg-m/s

(b) Let W is the work done by the racket on the ball. It can be calculated as the change in kinetic energy of the object.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.06\times ((-37)^2-(50.4)^2)

W = -35.1348 Joules

Hence, this is the required solution.
