... take the reciprocal of each resistor.
... add the fractions
... take the reciprocal of their sum; that's the answer.

When there are only two resistors, here's an easier way:

... find their product
... find their sum
... divide the product by the sum; that's the answer.

Your parallel resistors make 10.193 ohms.

(7)Figure 4 shows three charges: Q₁, Q₂ and Q3 . Determine the net force (Fnet) acting on Q3. (Hint: Draw a free body diagram of
NISA [10]

Remember Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the electric force F between two stationary charges q₁ and q₂ over a distance r is

F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where k ≈ 8,98 × 10⁹ kg•m³/(s²•C²) is Coulomb's constant.

8.1. The diagram is simple, since only two forces are involved. The particle at Q₂ feels a force to the left due to the particle at Q₁ and a downward force due to the particle at Q₃.

8.2. First convert everything to base SI units:

0,02 µC = 0,02 × 10⁻⁶ C = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C

0,03 µC = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

0,04 µC = 4 × 10⁻⁸ C

300 mm = 300 × 10⁻³ m = 0,3 m

600 mm = 0,6 m

Force due to Q₁ :

F_{Q_2/Q_1} = \dfrac{k (6 \times 10^{-16} \,\mathrm C)}{(0,3 \, \mathrm m)^2} \approx \boxed{6,0 \times 10^{-5} \,\mathrm N} = 0,06 \,\mathrm{mN}

Force due to Q₃ :

F_{Q_2/Q_3} = \dfrac{k (12 \times 10^{-16} \,\mathrm C)}{(0,6 \, \mathrm m)^2} \approx \boxed{3,0 \times 10^{-5} \,\mathrm N} = 0,03 \,\mathrm{mN}

8.3. The net force on the particle at Q₂ is the vector

\vec F = F_{Q_2/Q_1} \, \vec\imath + F_{Q_2/Q_3} \,\vec\jmath = \left(-0,06\,\vec\imath - 0,03\,\vec\jmath\right) \,\mathrm{mN}

Its magnitude is

\|\vec F\| = \sqrt{\left(-0,06\,\mathrm{mN}\right)^2 + \left(-0,03\,\mathrm{mN}\right)^2} \approx 0,07 \,\mathrm{mN} = \boxed{7,0 \times 10^{-5} \,\mathrm N}

and makes an angle θ with the positive horizontal axis (pointing to the right) such that

\tan(\theta) = \dfrac{-0,03}{-0,06} \implies \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac12\right) - 180^\circ \approx \boxed{-153^\circ}

where we subtract 180° because \vec F terminates in the third quadrant, but the inverse tangent function can only return angles between -90° and 90°. We use the fact that tan(x) has a period of 180° to get the angle that ends in the right quadrant.

1. List one way mitosis and meiosis are the same and one way they are different.
kolbaska11 [484]
1. They both are same in the process, I mean they both are types of cell division they both form and give rise to new cells from the existing ones
difference would be in their division a mitotic cell gives rise to 2 cells where as a meiotic cell gives rise to 4.
2. the advantage of sexual reproduction is that , it produces genetic variation, disadvantage is it's a very slow process and takes lot of time
3. the advantage is that ,it's a very rapid process as it doesn't involve complex interactions. of genes and chromosomal recombination, the disadvantage would be is that they don't produce variation which can have adverse affect on their survival, even due to slightest change in the environment
4. Undergoing both the type of cell division is good as in human mitotic division is meant for growth and development whereas meiotic divisions are necessary and important for gametes formation and for raising new generation

In a single movable pulley, a load of 500 N is lifted by applying 300 N effort. Calculate MA, VR and efficiency.​
galben [10]

Answer:

in pulley there are different kinds.but the most common one are fixed,moveable and compound pulley. in this question we asked about movable pulley.

Explanation:

Given request solutions

L=500N a,M.A=? a,M.A=L/E =5/3

E=300N b,V.R=? b,V.R=2

c,efficiency =? c,£=M.A/V.R=5/6

£=IS NOT THE REAL SYMBOLS OF EFFICIENCY BUT I IS LOOK LIKE THIS
