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

What is the magnetic flux linkage, in units of Weber, for a coil of 360 turns and cross sectional area of 0.133 m^2 when the mag
zalisa [80]

Answer:

83.3 Wb

Explanation:

The magnetic flux linkage through the coil is given by:

N\phi = BAN sin \theta

where

B is the magnetic field strength

A is the cross sectional area

N is the number of turns in the coil

\theta is the angle between the direction of the field and the normal to the coil

In this problem:

B = 1.74 T

A = 0.133 m^2

N = 360

\theta=90^{\circ}

Therefore, the magnetic flux linkage is

N\phi = (1.74 T)(0.133 m^2)(360) sin 90^{\circ}=83.3 Wb

A mountain climber weighs 42.0 N. If he climbs a hill 100m high. Calculate the work done in joules​
quester [9]

Answer:

The answer is 4200 J.

Explanation:

The formula of work done is, W = F×D where F is the force of an object and D is the distance. Then you just substitute the values into the equation :

W = F×D

F = 42N

D = 100m

W = 42 × 100

= 4200 J

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg

Which formula can be used to solve problems related to the first law of thermodynamics?
docker41 [41]

Answer: The formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be destroyed, nor be created but it can only be transformed into one form to another.

Its implication is any change in the internal energy will be either due to heat energy or work energy.

Mathematically,

\Delta U=Q+W

where, Q = heat energy

W = work energy

\Delta U = Change in internal energy

Sign convention for these energies:

For Q: Heat absorbed will be positive and heat released will be negative.

For W: Work done by the system is negative and work done on the system is positive.

For \Delta U: When negative, internal energy is decreasing and when positive, internal energy is increasing.

Hence, the formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is \Delta U=Q+W
