The three resistors are connected to the same points of the circuit, so they are in parallel configuration. The equivalent resistance of 3 resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}$
If we plug the values of the resistances into the formula, we find
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{3.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{6.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{9.0 \Omega}= \frac{6+3+2}{18.0 \Omega} = \frac{11}{18.0 \Omega}$
From which we find the equivalent resistance:
$R_{eq} = \frac{18.0}{11} \Omega =1.6 \Omega$

So, the correct answer is B.

MissTica

Answer: Tsunami.

Explanation :

Tsunami is the result of a sudden vertical offset in the ocean floor and is most often the result of plate movement on the ocean floor.

Tsunami is caused due to the displacement of a large volume of water like in an ocean. It consists of a series of waves. It destroys coastlines and coastal settlements. It is also known as a tidal wave.

So, the correct option is (b) Tsunami.

A cyclist accelerates from a velocity of 10 miles/hour east until reaching a velocity of 20 miles/hour east in 5 seconds. What w

Sliva [168]

Answer:

$a = 0.894\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Motion with Constant Acceleration

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}$

$a = 0.894\ m/s^2$

Why does a hot-air balloon rise?

prohojiy [21]

Answer: The weight of the air displaced by the balloon is less than the volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

A hot air balloon is a cloth wrap that contains several thousand cubic meters of air inside (a large volume of air). The burner heats the liquid propane to a gaseous state to generate a huge flame, which can reach more than 3 meters, thus heating the air mass inside the balloon. In this way, its density is modified with respect to the air that surrounds it, because the hot air is lighter than the outside air (less dense), causing the balloon to rise and float.

Now, if we know that the density of a body $d$ is directly proportional to its mass $m$ and inversely proportional to its volume $V$ :

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

We can deduce that by increasing the volume of the body, its density will decrease.

This is proof of Archimedes' Principle:

A body totally or partially immersed in a fluid at rest, experiences a vertical upward thrust equal to the mass weight of the body volume that is displaced.

In this case the fluid is the air outside. So, the warm air inside the balloon, being less dense, will weigh less than the outside air and therefore will receive an upward pushing force or thrust that will make the balloon ascend.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." So that applies to a roller coaster, between the ride vehicles and the track. When a ride goes up and down the hill, it creates different forces onto the track.
