C. 15Ω.

The circuit diagram is shown in the first image attached. To solve this problem we have to use the equivalent resistor conected in parallel Req = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2).

Calculating the equivalent resistor in the 20Ω resistor parallel arrangement:

RAeq = [(20*20)/(20+20)] Ω

RAeq = 400/40 Ω

RAeq = 10Ω

Calculating the equivalent resistor in the 10Ω resistor parallel arrangement:

RBeq = [(10*10)/(10+10)]Ω

RBeq = 100/20 Ω

RBeq = 5Ω

Both equivalent resistors are in series. So, in order to calculate the equivalent resistance of the combination:

Rtotal = RAeq + RBeq

Rtotal = 10Ω + 5Ω

Rtotal = 15Ω

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure
jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.

The tuning fork has a frequency of 426.7 is found to cause resonance in a closed column of air measuring 0.186 (the diameter of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The velocity of the tuning fork sound is 317.4648 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The frequency of the fork, f = 426.7 Hz

The length of the closed air column, L = 0.186 m

The diameter of the tube, d = 0.15 m

At the fundamental frequency in a closed tube, we have;

λ = 4·L

Where;

λ = The wavelength of the wave

L = The length of the tube

From the equation for the velocity of a wave, we have;

v = f·λ

Where;

v = The velocity of the (sound) wave

f = The frequency of the wave = 426.7 Hz

λ = 4·L = 4 × 0.186 m = 0.744 m

∴ v = 426.7 Hz × 0.744 m = 317.4648 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sound produced by the tuning fork, v = 317.4648 m/s

A girl is standing 150m in front of a tall building, fires a shot with starting pistol. A boy standing 350m behind her, hears tw
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

300 m/s

Explanation:

The difference in time between the two bangs is 1 s.

Thus;

t2 - t1 = 1

We know that distance/time = speed.

Thus;

d2/v - d1/v = 1

Multiply through by v to get;

d2 - d1 = v

Where v is speed of sound in air.

d1 = 350 m

d2 = (150 × 2) + 350 = 650 m

Thus;

v = d2 - d1 = 650 - 350 = 300 m/s
