Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2

In parallel

\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}

\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0

Solving the above quadratic equation

\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}

\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Joseph jogs from one end A to the other end B of a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 30 seconds and then turns around and jogs 10
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) It is given that Joseph jogs on a straight road of 300m in a time interval of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, which is equal to 150seconds. Therefore, when Joseph jogs from point A to point B, he covers a distance of 300m in time of 150seconds. Hence, his average speed is 300m/150s=2ms^−1. Since it is a straight road and he jogs in a single direction in this case, his displacement is equal to 300m. Since it is a straight road and he jogs in a single direction in this case, his displacement is equal to 300m.

Hence, his average velocity is 300m/150s=2ms^−1

(b) Then it is given that he turns back and points B and jogs on the same road but in the opposite direction for a time interval for 1 minute and covers a distance of 100m.If we consider the whole motion of Joseph, i.e. from point A to point C, then he covers a total distance of 300m+100m=400m. And he covers this total distance in a time interval of 2.5min+1min=3.5min=210s.

Therefore, his average speed for this journey is 400m210s=1.9ms−1.

For the same journey is displacement is equal to the distance between the points A and C,i.e. 300m−100m=200m.

Hence, his average velocity for this case is 200m/210s=0.95ms^−1

The motion of a particle is described by the position function s(t) = 2t - 15t +33t+17,t>0 , where is measured in seconds and
8090 [49]

The time when the particle is at rest is at 1.63 s or 3.36 s.

The velocity is positive at when the time of motion is at 0.

The total distance traveled in the first 10 seconds is 847 m.

<h3>When is a particle at rest?</h3>
  • A particle is at rest when the initial velocity of the particle is zero.

The time when the particle is at rest is calculated as follows;

s(t) = 2t³ - 15t² + 33t + 17

v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 6t^2 -30t + 33\\\\at \ rest, \ v = 0\\\\6t^2 - 30t + 33 = 0\\\\6(t- \frac{5}{2} )^2- \frac{9}{2} = 0\\\\t = 1.63\ s \ \ or \ 3.36 \ s

The velocity is positive at when the time of motion is as follows;

0.

The total distance traveled in the first 10 seconds is calculated as follows;

2(10)^3 - 15(10)^2 + 33(10) + 17 = 847 \ m

What is the wavelength of a 2.50-kilohertz sound
Alexxx [7]
The formula v=fλ can be used here.

326=2500*λ

Note the 2500 as 2.5kHz is 2.5 thousand Hz.

λ = 326/2500
= 0.1304m = 0.130m

The redshift of a star means that _____.
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer is D. the star is getting farther away.

When the light has red-shifted, it shows that everything is moving away from a certain point. This is known as the Doppler effect and proves the Big Bang (which would be the center point that everything is moving away from). Just as a 'for your information', blue shift is when the star is moving towards us.

Hope I helped :)
