an 18 ohm resistor and a 6 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a battery, and the current in the 18 ohm resistor is found
riadik2000 [5.3K]

With 0.45 amp flowing through an 18-ohm resistor, the voltage across it is

       V  =  I R  =  (0.45) x (18)  =  <em>8.1 volts .</em>

"But I asked for the battery voltage!  That's the voltage across the resistor."

The ends of the resistor are connected directly to the battery terminals.
They're the same voltage.

"But what about the 6-ohm resistor ?  Where does that figure in ?"

In parallel, it doesn't.  It's also connected directly across the battery,
and it has its own current. 

In parallel, neither resistor knows or cares whether or not there are
any other resistors present.  In parallel, it makes no dif.

How are adhesion and cohesion similar? how are they different?
hichkok12 [17]
<span> they're both properties of water. both involve the "sticking" property of H2O .</span><span> cohesion is "sticking" together (water sticking to water) and adhesios is water</span><span>
</span> "sticking" to something else. They are both important to life processes.

 <span>In chemistry, adhesion refers to the tendency of unlike molecules to bond with one another, while cohesion refers to the attractive force between molecules of the same type. Surface tension, which is an essential property of water, illustrates the relationship between adhesion and cohesion.</span>

When is a sailboat the stand on vessel in relations to a recreational power boat?
qwelly [4]
The stand-on vessel is the one that is on the starboard side of a boat, and its red light or streamer is visible to you. The situation where a sailboat would be the stand-on vessel will be then the sailboat is overtaking the power boat.

The opposite of a stand-on vessel is the give-way vessel, which is on the port side, the green light or streamer of which is visible to you.

a bullet moving with a velocity of 100m/s pierce a block of wood and moves out with a velocityof 10 m/s.if the thickness of the
erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>

The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em>  has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

W=Fx

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s
