Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

Coasting due west on your bicycle at 8 m/s, you encounter a sandy patch of road 7.2m
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

V = (v1 + v2) / 2 = (8 + 6.5) / 2 = 7.25 m/s     average speed

t = 7.2 / 7.25 = .993 sec      time to cross patch

a = (v2 - v1) / t = (6.5 - 8) / .993 = -1.51 m/s^2     or 1.5 m/s^2

You are driving in a car for 30 minutes, with the windows down and the radio at a high volume. You turn the car off and leave th
matrenka [14]

Answer:

sensory adaption

Explanation:

Sensory adaption is the phenomenon where the intensity of a stimulus experienced by an organism decreases after a certain amount of exposure to the stimulus. This happens in order for us to pay attention to other stimulus.

When you are driving with the windows down and listening to music you are subjected to a lot of stimuli. Here, most of our attention needs to be on driving. So, our brain drowns all the other unneccessary stimuli like the music.

When you enter the car again where the other stimuli which were present while driving are absent, all your attention is diverted to the music. So, your're ears hurt.
