Answer:

12volts

Explanation:

The potential difference between 4ohm resistor is 12volts because equal voltage is dropped in both resistor.

The picture clearly shows that the 4Ω resistor is connected directly to both terminals of the battery. If you connect a voltmeter to the ends of the resistor, the voltmeter is connected directly to the battery terminals. So the potential difference across the 4Ω resistor <em>IS</em> the potential difference across the battery . . . <em>12 volts</em>.

As long as the battery is fresh enough to supply all the current that both resistors want, the 4Ω resistor doesn't even know that the 2Ω resistor is there. (And the feeling is mutual.)

On Earth, 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs. On the Moon, 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs. Use these relationships to answer the following question
romanna [79]

Answer:

(a) 490 N on earth

(b) 80 N on earth

(c) 45.4545 kg on earth

(d) 270.27 kg on moon

Explanation:

We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth

And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon

(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg

As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N

So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N

(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg

As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N

So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N

(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth

So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg

(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs

So 100 lbs \frac{100}{0.37}=270.27kg

Why is gum bad for you
viva [34]
There are a lot of reasons why gum is bad for you but a main reason because if you make a bubble and swallow it you could choke. Another reason is because it breaks down your gums.

Car A has twice the mass of Car B; both travel at the same speed. Compared to Car B. Car A has:
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Car A has twice the energy of car B.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where

m is the mass

v is the speed of the object

Car A has twice the mass of Car B. Both travel at the same speed i.e.

m_A=2m_B

So,

\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=\dfrac{(1/2)m_Av^2}{(1/2)m_Bv^2}\\\\=\dfrac{2m_B}{m_B}\\\\\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=2\\\\K_A=2\times K_B

So, the kinetic energy of car A is twice of the kinetic energy of car B.

An open organ pipe is 2.46 m long, and the speed of the air in the pipe is 345 m/s.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency is 70.12 m

Explanation:

For an open organ pipe, the fundamental frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{nv}{2l}

n = 1 for fundamental frequency

v is speed of sound in air, v = 345 m/s

l is length of open organ pipe, l = 2.46 m

Substituting values in above formula. So,

f=\dfrac{1\times 345}{2\times 2.46}\\\\f=70.12\ Hz

So, the fundamental frequency of this pipe is 70.12 m.
