The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} +  \frac{1}{R_2} + ...
In our problem, we have 5 identical resistor of resistance R, so their equivalent resistance is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  5 (\frac{1}{R} )
The problem also says that the equivalent resistance is R_{eq}= 17 \Omega, so we can find the resistance R of each piece of wire:
R=5 R_{eq} = 5 \cdot 17 \Omega = 85 \Omega

In the initial wire, it's like the 5 pieces are connected in series, so the equivalent resistance of the wire is just the sum of the resistances of the 5 pieces:
R_{wire} = 5 R = 5 \cdot 85 \Omega = 425 \Omega

solong [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the man from the frame of  reference of a stationary observer is, V₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Your velocity, V₁ = 2 m/

The velocity of the person, V₂ =?

The velocity of the person relative to you, V₂₁ = 3 m/s

According to the relative velocity of two

                                V₂₁ = V₂ -V₁

∴                               V₂ =  V₂₁ + V₁

On substitution

                                 V₂ = 3 + 2

                                      = 5 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the man from the frame of reference of a stationary observe is, V₂ = 5 m/s

iris [78.8K]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

The US constitution has involved details related to the Supreme Court; in fact, the US constitution created this institution. However, the structure does not specify how many judges will sit in the supreme court. Those details were left to the US Congress. In 1807, Congress increased the number of judges to seven; In 1837 the number increased to nine, and in 1863 it rose to 10.
