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

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, $F_1$ = 140 N

let the second force = $F_2$

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

$F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N$

$F_2 = 280 \ East$

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

$F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N$

$F_2 = 560 \ West$

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

water in a cup and a kettle can have the same temperature even though the quantities are different . give reasons

jekas [21]

Answer:

The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, $T_{(equilibrium)}$ reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

$\infty M_{(environ)} \times c_{(environ)} \times (T_2 - T_1) = m_{1} \times c_{(water)} \times (T_3 - T_2) + m_{2} \times c_{(water)} \times (T_4 - T_2)$

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment
