Answer:

B. 12.0A

Explanation:

The circuit shown in the image is a parallel circuit which mean that the voltage of the source is equal across each resistance in the circuit because they are directly connected to the terminals of the voltage source.

The voltage across the 10 Ohms resistor is 120V

So, let's proceed to calculate the current

By using Ohm's Law

$I=\frac{V}{R} \\I= \frac{120.0V}{10.0Ohm} \\I= 12.0A$

12A is the amount of current flowing through the 10 ohms resistor.

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

The ends of the 10-ohm resistor are connected directly to both terminals of the battery.

So the voltage across the resistor is the voltage of the battery ... 120 V. None of that other stuff in the circuit has any effect on it.

Current = (120 V) / (10 ohms)

Current = 12 A . (B)

What acceleration will you give to a 24.5 kg

Ludmilka [50]

Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:

$\boxed{F=ma}$

Δ Being Δ

F = Force = 78,3 N

m = Mass = 24,5 kg

a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula and clear "a":

$\boxed{a=78,3\ N / 24,5\ kg}$

⇒ Resolving

$\boxed{a=3.19\ m/s^{2}}$

Result:

The aceleration is 3,19 meters per second squared (m/s²)

Good Luck!!

What happens to the gravitational potential energy between two particles if the distance between them is halved? (a) It does not

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).

Explanation:

The gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction that two objects with mass experience.

The Law of Universal Gravitation enunciated by Newton says that every material particle attracts any other material particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically this is expressed as:

$F=G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r the distance between them and G a universal constant that receives the name of constant of gravitation.

If the distance between two particles is reduced by half, then, where F' is the new value of the gravitational force:

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{(\frac{r}{2} )^{2} }$

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{2^{2} } }$

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{4} }$

$F'=4*G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

F'=4*F

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).
