Answer:

A series circuit

Explanation:

Resistors can be connected in two different configurations:

- Series: all resistors are connected along the same path. In this case, the current flowing through each resistor is the same, while the potential difference across each resistor is different. The total resistance of the circuit for resistor in series is given by

$R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ...$

- Parallel: each resistor is connected to the same batter through a different branch. In this case, the potential difference across each resistor is the same, while the current flowing through each resistor is different. The total resistance of the circuit for resistors in parallel is given by

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...$

In this problem, we have resistors all connected in the same path, so they are connected in a series configuration.

This is what is known as a series circuit. People advise to not use these and use the much more useful parallel circuits, which have resistors on separate paths.
I hope this helps!

A car travels due east with a speed of 52.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth

serg [7]

Answer:

a) v = 6.43 m/s

b) v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of car = 56 km/h

56 km/h = 14.4 m/s

Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°

Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time

both of which are directly proportional to their velocities

Then

tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x

or x = 14.44/tan(66°)

Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth

v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth

For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities

v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car

= 15.8 m/s

Floor lamps usually have a base with large inertia, while the long body and top have much less inertia. Part A If you want to sh

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia and this mathematically given as

$I = mr^2$

Where m is the mass

r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.
