Three identical resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance increases by 630 when one resistor is removed and
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

each resistor is 540 Ω

Explanation:

Let's assign the letter R to the resistance of the three resistors involved in this problem. So, to start with, the three resistors are placed in parallel, which results in an equivalent resistance R_e defined by the formula:

\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} } +\frac{1}{R} \\\frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{3}{R} \\R_e=\frac{R}{3}

Therefore, R/3 is the equivalent resistance of the initial circuit.

In the second circuit, two of the resistors are in parallel, so they are equivalent to:

\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R}\\\frac{1}{R'_e}=\frac{2}{R} \\R'_e=\frac{R}{2} \\

and when this is combined with the third resistor in series, the equivalent resistance (R''_e) of this new circuit becomes the addition of the above calculated resistance plus the resistor R (because these are connected in series):

R''_e=R'_e+R\\R''_e=\frac{R}{2} +R\\R''_e=\frac{3R}{2}

The problem states that the difference between the equivalent resistances in both circuits is given by:

R''_e=R_e+630 \,\Omega

so, we can replace our found values for the equivalent resistors (which are both in terms of R) and solve for R in this last equation:

\frac{3R}{2} =\frac{R}{3} +630\,\Omega\\\frac{3R}{2} -\frac{R}{3} = 630\,\Omega\\\frac{7R}{6} = 630\,\Omega\\\\R=\frac{6}{7} *630\,\Omega\\R=540\,\Omega

A punter wants to kick a football so that the football has a total flight time of 4.70s and lands 56.0m away (measured along the
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

How long does the football need to rise?

4.70/3 = 2.35 s

What height will the football reach?

h = ½(9.81)2.35² = 27.1 m

With what speed does the punter need to kick the football?

vy = g•t = 9.81(2.35) = 23.1 m/s

vx = d/t = 56.0/4.70 = 11.9 m/s

v = √(vx²+vy²) = 26.0 m/s

At what angle (θ), with the horizontal, does the punter need to kick the football?

θ = arctan(vy/vx) = 62.7°

Why doesn’t the ball roll on forever after being kicked at a soccer game?
gavmur [86]

My guess would be because the gravity from the Earth's core is constantly pulling the ball towards the ground. It's like the moon. Why doesn't the moon just float away in space? Because Earth's gravitational pull keeps it rotating around it. Therefore, the ball will always be pulled towards the core which keeps it from from rolling forever due to friction. But i may be wrong, even though this a quite a good answer, hope it is right!
