first of all a 3 ohm resistance is connected in parallel with 6 ohm resistance so we will have

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}

R = 2 ohm

now it is connected in series with 4 ohm resistance

So we will have net resistance given by

R_{net} = R_1 + R_2

R_{net} = 2 + 4 = 6 ohm

Now this combination of 6 ohm resistance is connected across a battery of 12 V

so now we will have total current in the circuit calculated by ohm's law

V = i*R

12 = i*6

i = 2 A

now this 2 A current will divide in 3 ohm and 6 ohm resistance in the ratio of 2:1

so current in 3 ohm resistance is given by

i = \frac{2}{2+1}*2= 1.33 A

now power dissipated in 3 ohm resistance is given by

P = i^2 * R

P = (1.33)^2* 3

P = 5.33 Watt

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

Mrs. Paul and Dr. Mykannen ride a tandem bike on the beach. They ride along the beach for about 455 meters. Their final velocity
algol [13]

Answer:

Time = 80.91 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 5.50 m/s.

Distance = 445 meters

To find the time;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5.5 = 445/time

Time = 445/5.5

Time = 80.91 seconds
