Answer:

The total resistance is 15 Ω, the total current is 1A, The potential drop in R1 and R2 are 10V and 5V respectively and the total power develped is 15 W.

Explanation:

First it is necessary to simplify the circuit. We can do this by calculating the total or equivalent resistance Re. For series resistance arrangement, Re is computed as:

RT = R1 + R2 = 5 Ω + 10 Ω = 15 Ω

According to Ohm’s law the total current can be calculated dividing the total voltage V by Re:

I = V/Re = 15V/15Ω = 1A

This current will be the same current through R1 and R2. Then we can compute the potential drop across R2 multiplying the current across R1 by the resistance:

VR1 = I*R2 = 1 A * 10 Ω = 10 V

The potential drop across R2 is obtained in the same way as R1, considering R2 resistance:

VR2 = I*R1 = 1 A * 5Ω = 5 V

The total power could be calculated multiplying the total current I by the total voltage:

P = I*V = 1 A * 15 V = 15 W

Komok [63]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The net force acting on the box is 17 - 13 = 4 N to the right.
The box moves on a friction surface by 3.5 m to the right.

By definition,
Work = Force x Distance.

(a) The work done by the girl is
W₁ = (17 N)*(3.5 m) = 59.5 J

(b) The work done by the boy is
W₂ = (13 N)*(-3.5 m) = - 45.5 J

(c) The work done by the net force is
W₃ = (4 N)*(3.5 m) = 14 J

Note that W₃ = W₁ + W₂

Answers:
(a) 59.5 J
(b) - 45.5 J
(c) 14 J

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.

$Work=Force \: × \: displacement \\ => W=Fs \\ \\ Given, \\ Force=25 \: N \\ Displacement=2m \\ \\ so \: work = 25 \: N \: \times 2m \\ = > work = 25kgm {s}^{ - 2} \times 2m \\ = > work = 50kg {m}^{2} {s}^{ - 2} \\ = > work = 50J$

This is the answer.

Hope it helps!!
