It must be sliding friction, because the fish is already in motion.
Answer:
+2m/s
Explanation:
average velocity = displacement traveled / total time taken
= +12m/ 6s
= +2 m/s
<h2>Question:</h2>
In this circuit the resistance R1 is 3Ω, R2 is 7Ω, and R3 is 7Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be?
Answer:
9.1Ω
Explanation:
The circuit diagram has been attached to this response.
(i) From the diagram, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel to each other. The reciprocal of their equivalent resistance, say Rₓ, is the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each of them. i.e

=>
------------(i)
From the question;
R1 = 3Ω,
R2 = 7Ω
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;


Ω
(ii) Now, since we have found the equivalent resistance (Rₓ) of R1 and R2, this resistance (Rₓ) is in series with the third resistor. i.e Rₓ and R3 are connected in series. This is shown in the second image attached to this response.
Because these resistors are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance R. Where R is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors: Rₓ and R3. i.e
R = Rₓ + R3
Rₓ = 2.1Ω
R3 = 7Ω
=> R = 2.1Ω + 7Ω = 9.1Ω
Therefore, the combination of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 can be replaced with a single resistor with an equivalent resistance of 9.1Ω
Answer: A little more that 5 Kg for a healthy person
Explanation: First, we know the following:
The regular adult has from 9 to 12 pints of blood. This is around 5 liters for a healthy male adult.
The human body is composed mostly on water, around 80%.
Blood is mostly composed on plasma, which makes blood thicker than water.
Knowing that, almost all the body is compose of water, it is safe to think that blood density should be near to that of water but higher.
The density on water is a know value. Which makes the following true:
<em>1 Liter of Water weights 1 Kg</em>
<em />
It could be said then, that the total mass of blood for a healthy person should be a little more that 5 kgs.
