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

An electron is released a short distance above earth's surface. a second electron directly below it exerts an electrostatic forc
slamgirl [31]

The mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The weight of the electron is (mass) x (g) =  8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ Newton

The charge on an electron is -1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulomb

The repelling force between the two electrons is (K · q₁ · q₂ / r²) =

(8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

In order for the bottom one to just exactly hold the top one up at a distance 'D', the repelling force has to be exactly equal to the weight of the upper electron.

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ N = (8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²)·(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

We have to solve THAT ugly mess for ' D '.

Clean up the units first:

Cancel the C² on the right side, then divide each side by Newton:

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ = (8.98755 x 10⁹ m²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)² / D²

Now, let's multiply both sides by (D² x 10²⁹) :

D² x 8.926 x 10⁻¹ = (8.98755 m²) x (1.602)²

Divide each side by (0.8926):

D² = (8.98755 x 1.602²) / (0.8926)  meter²

D² = 25.84 m²

Take the square root of each side:

<em>D = 5.08 meters</em>

A 0.017-kg acorn falls from a position in an oak tree that is 18.5 meters above the ground.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Velocity= 19.05 m/s

Kinetic energy= 3.08 J

Explanation:

The corn possess potential energy. Feom law of conservation of energy, all the potential eneegy will be converted to kinetic energy, with negligible friction.

Potential energy, PE= kinetic energy, KE

Potential energy is given by mgh while kinetic energy is given by 0.5mv^{2}

Equating

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Making v the subject of the formula then

v=\sqrt {2gh}

Substituting 9.81 m/s2 for g and 18.5 m for h then the velocity will be

v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 18.5}=19.0517715711689\ m/s\\v\approx 19.05\ m/s

To get the kinetic eneegy, since PE=KE AND KE is

KE=0.5mv^{2}

Substituting v with 19.05 and m with 0.017 kg we have

0.5\times 0.017\times 19.05^{2}=3.08467125/ J\approx 3.08 J

This can also be achieved by mgh since PE=KE hence 0.17*9.81*18.5=3.085245 J and the results are slightly different due to small energy losses and rounding off of values.

What would be the average fixed cost per unit at an activity level of 5,200 units? assume that this level of activity is within
Vitek1552 [10]

The average fixed cost per unit at an activity level of 5,200 units is $6.00.

<h3>What is the average fixed cost?</h3>

The average fixed cost (AFC) is fixed cost that does not change with the change in the number of goods and services produced by a company. To put it in a nutshell, average fixed cost (AFC) is the fixed cost per unit and is calculated by dividing the total fixed cost by output level.

Since no cost is fixed for a long time, average fixed cost is only for a short run. When units of production increase, the average fixed cost per unit decreases. Similarly, when the business produces less units, average cost increases per unit.

However, only one unit, mostly capital, is fixed. Examples of average fixed cost are the salaries of permanent employees, mortgage payment on machinery and plant, rent, more.

Average Fixed Cost Formula:

AFC = Total fixed cost/Output (Q)
