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 does the slope of a velocity-time graph reveal about an objects motion
Ivan

Answer:

The slope of a velocity graph represents the acceleration of the object. So, the value of the slope at a particular time represents the acceleration of the object at that instant.

After release of jet, energy is lost by the engine. How principle of conservation of energy is obeyed in this condition.​
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The principle of conservation of energy states that in a closed system, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed between interacting particles and remains constant or transformed from one form to another

In the jet engine, the release of jet changes the number of interacting particles in the engine, and given that energy cannot be created in the instantaneously closed system of the engine, energy is carried away and therefore lost by particles in the jet exhaust

The conservation of energy principle is therefore obeyed in the condition in which the jet engine losses energy by the release of jet

the shock absorbers in a car act as a big spring with k= 21900 N/m. when a 92.5 kg person gets in, how far does the spring stret
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 0.04139m

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the weight of the man which will be:

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Weight = mg

Weight = 92.5 × 9.8

Weight = 906.5N

Then, we calculate the force which will be:

F = kx

mg = kx

x = mg/k

x = 906.5/21900

x = 0.04139m.

The spring stretched for 0.04139m.
