All these resistors are in series so we can take the sum of them by:

Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3......

So...

Rtotal = 2 + 3 + 4 + 6

Rtotal = 15

So now the total resistance in the circuit is 15 ohms and the potential difference applied to the circuit is 45 volts

Now we can use:

V = IR

Isolate for I

V/R = I

45/15 = I

I = 3 amps (A)

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

595391.482946 m/s

$3.21875\times 10^{6}$

Explanation:

E = Energy = 1.85 keV

I = Current = 5.15 mA

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

t = Time taken = 1 second

m = Mass of proton = $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Velocity of proton is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.85\times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow v=595391.482946\ m/s$

The speed of the proton is 595391.482946 m/s

Current is given by

$I=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=It\\\Rightarrow \Delta Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\times (1\ sec)\\\Rightarrow Q=5.15\times 10^{-3}\ C$

Number of protons is

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{5.15\times 10^{-3}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=3.21875\times 10^{6}\ protons$

The number of protons is $3.21875\times 10^{6}$

A charge q of magnitude 6.4 × 10^-19 coulombs moves from point A to point B in an electric field of 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb.

lana [24]

In this problem we have the electric field intensity E:

E = 6.5 × $10^4$ newtons/coulomb

We have the magnitude of the load:

q = 6.4 × $10 ^{-19}$ coulombs

We also have the distance d that the load moved in a direction parallel to the field 1.2 × $10^{-2}$ meters.

We know that the electric potential energy (PE) is:

PE = qEd

So:

PE = (6.4 × $10^{-19}$ )(6.5 × $10^4$ )(1.2 × $10^{-2}$ )

PE = 5.0 x $10^{-16}$ joules

None of the options shown is correct.

The dragster has a mass of 1.3 Mg and a center of mass at G. A parachute is attached at C provides a horizontal braking force of

adell [148]

Answer:

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is 16.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:

The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m

Balancing the equilibrium about point A;

F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = $ma_a (0.35)$
