Answer:

A, 0.59A

Explanation:

The total resistance in the circuit is the resistances in parallel plus that in series.

Total resistance for those in parallel is;

1/(1/4 +1/6 +1/10) = 1/ (15+10+6 /60)

1/(31/60)= 60/31 ohms

Hence total resistance of the circuit is;

60/31 + 2 = (60+62)/31 = 122/31=3.94 ohms

To calculate the current flowing through the 10ohm resistance we need to know the voltage drop by subtracting the voltage drop in the 2ohm resistance from the total voltage drop.

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance is;

Current on the 2 ohm resistor × 2 ohms

V = I ×R ; I - current

R - resistance

Current drop on the 2ohm resistance is;

Total voltage in the circuit/ total resistance in the circuit

12/3.94= 3.05A

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance;

3.05 × 2 = 6.10volts

Hence voltage drop on the parallel resistance would be ;

12-6.10= 5.90V

Now voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same hence 5.90v is dropped in each of the parallel resistance.

That said, the current drop on the 10 ohm resistor would be;

5.90/10 = 0.59A

Remember V= I× R so that I = V/R

anyanavicka [17]

At point E

  • the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
  • the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
  • the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy

<h3>What is the energy of the roller coaster at point E?</h3>

The energy of a roller coaster could either be potential energy, kinetic energy or a combination of both potential and kinetic energy.

Using analogies, the energy of the roller coaster at point E can be compared to a falling fruit from a tree which falls onto a pavement and is the rolling towards the floor. Point E can be compared to the midpoint of the fall of the fruit.

At point E

  • the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
  • the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
  • the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy

In conclusion, the energy of the rollercoaster at E is both Kinetic and potential energy,

What does Kepler's first law of planetary motion imply?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D.  The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.

A mercury thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water.<br>Why?​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.

You have two lightweight metal spheres, each hanging from an insulating nylon thread. One of the spheres has a net negative char
kkurt [141]

Answer:attract each other

Explanation:

When two-sphere, one with a negative charge and another neutral is brought close together but do not touch then they try to attract each other.

This because of the polarization of the neutral sphere as it is placed in the vicinity of a negatively charged sphere. The negatively charged sphere will induce the positive charge in the neutral sphere and they will attract each other according to Columb law.
