... 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.

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) $x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

$U=\frac{1}{3}K$

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

$U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}$

And using (1), we find

$U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2$

Substituting $U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ into the last equation, we find the value of x:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

B) $x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A$

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

$K=\frac{1}{10}E$

Since we have

$K=E-U$

we can write

$E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E$

And so we find:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A$

A uniform electric field has a magnitude 1.80 kV/m and points in the +x direction. (a) What is the electric potential difference

EastWind [94]

Answer:

a)ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)ΔU =18.79 mJ

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1.8 KV/m

We know that

Electric potential difference ΔV given as

ΔV = E .d

Here

E= 1.8 KV/m

d= 3.6 m

ΔV = E .d

ΔV = 1.8 x 3.6 KV

ΔV = 6.48 KV

Given that

q=+2.90 µC

Change in electric potential energy ΔU given as

ΔU = q .ΔV

$\Delta U=2.9\times 10^{-6}\times 6.48\times 10^3\ J$

ΔU =18.79 mJ

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm, weighs 150 N, and is to be

nadezda [96]

The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The physical force used to apply pressure to an object is defined as such. Per square inch of an object, a force is applied perpendicularly to its surface. For pressure, the fundamental formula is F/A. (Force per unit area). The Pascal is the unit of pressure (Pa).

The four different types of pressure are absolute, atmospheric, differential, and gauge pressure. Have you ever noticed that when you use a straw to drink something, the air actually gets suked out? In reality, you're applying "Pressure" as you drink the beverage.

A box has the dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm

Let each face be A, B and C

The weight of the box = 150 N

Formula for pressure is

P = F/A

To find out which face of the box can withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm

we need find the area of each face and find its pleasure

Face A = 50 cm × 30 cm

Area A = l × b

= 50 × 30

= 1500 cm²

Pressure A = 150/1500

= 0.1 N/cm³

0.25 > 0.1

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face A

Face B = 30 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

= 30 × 15

= 450 cm²

Pressure A = 150/450

= 0.3 N/cm³

0.25 < 0.3

The surface could not withstand the pressure of Face B

Face C = 50 cm × 15 cm

Area A = l × b

= 50 × 15

= 750 cm²

Pressure A = 150/750

= 0.2 N/cm³

0.25 > 0.2

The surface can definitively withstand the pressure of Face C

Thus, The surface can only withstand a pressure Face A (50cm × 30cm) and Face C (50cm × 15cm) as the surface can only withstand a pressure of 0.25 N/cm³.

Find the weight of a 25 kg table. (Use g= 10 m/s?)

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

weight = 25*10 =250 N

Explanation:

g must be given in units of m/s^2

The weight of any type of body will be the product of his mass by the gravity

where:

m =mass [kg]

F = force [N] or [kg*m/s^2]

g = acceleration [m/s^2]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the Hall Effect and Drift velocity, that is, at the speed that an electron reaches due to a magnetic field.

The drift velocity is given by the equation:
