The combined electrical resistance R of two resistors R_1 and R_2, connected in parallel, is given by 1/R = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 where

R, R_1, and R_2 are measured in ohms. R_1 and R_2 are increasing at rates of 1 and 1.5 ohms per second, respectively. At what rate is R changing when R_1=50 ohms and R_2=75 ohms?

Answer:

0.6\Omega/s

Explanation:

We are given that

R_1=150\Omega

R_2=75\Omega

\frac{dR_1}{dt}=1\Omega/s

\frac{dR_2}{dt}=1.5\Omega/s

We have to find the rate at which R is changing.

In parallel

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

Using the formula

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{75}=\frac{3+2}{150}=\frac{5}{150}=\frac{1}{30}

R=30\Omega

-\frac{1}{R^2}\frac{dR}{dt}=-\frac{1}{R^2_1}\frac{dR_1}{dt}-\frac{1}{R^2_2}\frac{dR_2}{dt}

\frac{1}{R^2}\frac{dR}{dt}=\frac{1}{R^2_1}\frac{dR_1}{dt}+\frac{1}{R^2_2}\frac{dR_2}{dt}

Substitute the values

\frac{1}{900}\frac{dR}{dt}=1\times\frac{1}{2500}+1.5\times\frac{1}{(75)^2}

\frac{dR}{dt}=900(\frac{1}{2500}+\frac{1.5}{5625}

\frac{dR}{dt}=0.6\Omega/s

How long does it take for carbon to become a fossil fuel
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Millions of years.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes. It involves decomposition of dead and decaying animals, marine and plants for over million years. This some times take more than hundred million years to convert into fuel. This is why they are called non renewable resources of energy. The decomposition of dead plant species forms coal and decomposition animals of land and sea forms crude oil and gas.

Answer:

Species distribution

Explanation:

Species dispersion patterns—or distribution patterns—refer to how the individuals in a population are distributed in space at a given time. The individual organisms that make up a population can be more or less equally spaced.

How to tell if a circuit is connected in.a series.or parallel?
stepladder [879]

Series circuits split the voltage of resistors, so if you see several diodes connected <em>in series </em>or all next to each other, just a complete loop, it will be in series.

Parallel circuits split the current of resistors, so if you see several diodes connected along different branches or pathways, it will be in parallel.
