Answer : The new current has increased and the value of current will be 3.0 A.

Explanation :

Equivalent resistance : It represents the total effect of all resistors in the circuit.

In series circuit, we add all the resistances of each component.

R=R_1+R_2+R_3....

In parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each component.

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}...

First we have to calculate the current when a parallel circuit has two 8.0 ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts.

As we are given:

R_1=8\Omega

R_2=8\Omega

Now we have to calculate the equivalent resistance for a parallel circuit.

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}

R=4\Omega

Now we have to calculate the initial current in the circuit.

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{9.0V}{4\Omega}=2.25A

When the new resistor of 12.5 ohm is added to the circuit in parallel, the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{12.5}

R=3.0\Omega

Now we have to calculate the new current in the circuit when the new resistor of 12.5 ohm is added.

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{9.0V}{3.0\Omega}=3.0A

This means that the equivalent resistance of the circuit has decreased, and the new current has increased.

Hence, the new current has increased and the value of current will be 3.0 A.

What is the work required for a penguin to push a box 2 meters with a force of 8 newtons?
choli [55]

Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

Work = Force \times displacement

here we know that

Force = 8 N

displacement = 2 m

Now work done is given as

W = 8\times 2

W = 16 J

so it will do 16 J work to move the box

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.17724 m/s²

Explanation:

D = Diameter of roll = Length of wing = 11 m

T = Time it takes to complete the circle = 35 s

Velocity

v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi D}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi\times 11}{35}\\\Rightarrow v=0.98735\ m/s

Acceleration

a=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0.98735^2}{\frac{11}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.17724\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the tip of the plane is 0.17724 m/s²
