For resistors in series in a DC circuit, the potential difference is proportional to the resistance.

The voltage V across the 7.1 ohm resistor can be found from the proportion
   V/7.1 = 12/4.8
   V = 7.1*12/4.8 = 17.75

The potential difference at the battery terminals is the sum of the potential differences across the two series resistors.
   Vbatt = 17.75 V + 12 V
   Vbatt = 29.75 V

Answer:

T = 37.08 [N*m]

Explanation:

We must remember that torque is defined as the product of a force by a distance. This distance is measured from the point of application of force to the center of rotation of the rotating body.

The force is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

F=m*g\\F=70*9.81\\F=686.7[N]

Now the torque can be calculated:

T=F*r\\T=686.7*0.054\\T=37.08[N*m]

A student writes the following script for a scene in a futuristic movie: A rocket ship is landing on the Moon where many astrona
Sav [38]

Answer: No crash landing on the surface of the moon and there is no vibration due to low acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

The rocket ship can't land on the surface of the moon because it depends on winged flight for its controlled descent to the surface of the Earth.  Since the moon has no real atmosphere, the wings would not be able to glide the craft smoothly to the moon's surface.

The acceleration due to gravity in the moon is very low compared to the earth. The astronauts cannot experience vibration ripple through the Moon’s surface beneath their feet because the low level acceleration due to gravity will drastically affect the weight of the ship.
