A 5.0-Ω resistor and a 9.0-Ω resistor are connected in parallel. A 4.0-Ω resistor is then connected in series with this parallel

combination. An ideal 6.0-V battery is then connected across the series-parallel combination of the three resistors.(a) What is the current through the 4.0-Ω resistor?

The 4ohm resistor is not parallel to any devices, so the current through it is the same as the total current through the circuit.

Apply I = V/R
I = total current, V = battery voltage, R = total resistance

Calculate the total resistance R of the circuit first.

R will be the sum of the 4ohm resistor and the resistance of the 5&9ohm parallel resistors. To find the resistance of the pair, you apply the “sum of inverses” rule:

R = 1/(1/5 + 1/9) = 3.21ohm

Now add the 4ohm resistor:
R = 3.21 + 4 = 7.21ohm

Now let’s calculate I = V/R:
Given values:
V = 6.0V
R = 7.21ohm
Plug in and solve for I:
I = 6.0/7.21

I = 0.83A

A person drops a 2.00 kg ball off a building. what is the force of weight on the ball?
Lostsunrise [7]

Explanation:

Given

mass (m) = 2 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Force (F) = ?

We know

F = m * a

= 2 * 10

= 20 N

The force is 20 N.

Hope it will help :)❤

Consider a taut inextensible string. You shake the end of the string with some frequency, causing a wave to travel down the stri
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Part 1:

Option B is correct (It will remain unchanged).

Part 2:

Option C is correct (It will increase by a factor of √ 2)

Part 3:

Option E is correct (It will be half as fast/long.)

Part 4:

Option C is correct (It will increase by a factor of √ 2.)

Explanation:

Formula we are going to use:

V=f*λ

Where:

V is the speed of Sound

f is the frequency of wave

λ is the wavelength.

The speed of wave , tension and linear density have following relation:

V=\sqrt{F/\rho}

Where:

V is the speed of Sound (Initial)

F is the tension in string (Initial)

\rho is the linear density of string (Constant)

Terms:

V' is the new speed

f' is the new frequency

λ' is the wavelength

Solution:

Part 1:

From V=\sqrt{F/\rho}:

Speed of Sound is independent of the frequency of shaking so speed well remain unchanged.

Option B is correct (It will remain unchanged)

Part 2:

If F'=2F then

V=\sqrt{F/\rho}

V'=\sqrt{F'/\rho}\\V'=\sqrt{2F/\rho}\\V'=  \sqrt{2} * \sqrt{F/\rho}\\V'=\sqrt{2}V

Option C is correct (It will increase by a factor of √ 2)

Part 3:

Formula we are going to use:

V=f*λ

Given f'=2f,

Even though frequency is doubled we will keep velocities same. V=V' in order to find the changing wavelength.

V'=f'*λ'

f*λ=f'*λ'

f*λ=2f*λ'

Solving above Equation:

λ'=λ/2

Option E is correct (It will be half as fast/long.)

Part 4:

T'=2T means V'=\sqrt{2}V (From Part 1)

f'=f

Now:

V'=f'*λ'

\sqrt{2}f*\lambda=f'*\lambda '\\\sqrt{2}f*\lambda=f*\lambda '\\ \lambda '=\sqrt{2}*\lambda

Option C is correct (It will increase by a factor of √ 2.)
