-- The net effective resistance of three 1200-ohm resistors in
parallel is (1200/3) = 400 ohms.  That's what the battery sees.

-- Power = (voltage)² / (resistance)

               =      (12²)    /      (400)

               =        144    /      400

               =             0.36 watt . 

There's no such thing as "power in the circuit".

0.36 watt is the power dissipated by the resistors.
It's the rate at which the battery must supply energy,
and the rate at which the resistors blow it off in the form
of heat, for as long as the battery lasts.

podryga [215]
<span>What we need to first do is split the ball's velocity into vertical and horizontal components. To do that multiply by the sin or cos depending upon if you're looking for the horizontal or vertical component. If you're uncertain as to which is which, look at the angle in relationship to 45 degrees. If the angle is less than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the horizontal speed, if the angle is greater than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the vertical speed. So let's calculate the velocities sin(35)*18 m/s = 0.573576436 * 18 m/s = 10.32437585 m/s cos(35)*18 m/s = 0.819152044 * 18 m/s = 14.7447368 m/s Since our angle is less than 45 degrees, the higher velocity is our horizontal velocity which is 14.7447368 m/s. To get the x positions for each moment in time, simply multiply the time by the horizontal speed. So 0.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 7.372368399 m 1.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 14.7447368 m 1.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 22.1171052 m 2.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 29.48947359 m Rounding the results to 1 decimal place gives 0.50 s = 7.4 m 1.00 s = 14.7 m 1.50 s = 22.1 m 2.00 s = 29.5 m</span>

A loaf of bread (volume 3100 cm3) with a density of 0.90 g/cm3 is crushed in the bottom of the grocery bag into a volume of 1240
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2,25 g/cm3

Explanation:

Hi, you have to know one thing for this.. Density = mass/Volume,

When you have the loaf of bread with 3100 cm3 and a density of 0.90 g/cm3, the mass of that bread is 2790 g because of if you isolate the variable mass from the equation you get..  mass= density x volume

Later, have on account the mass never changes, so you crush the bread and the mass is the same.. so when you have the mashed bread.. you know that the mass is 2790 g and the volume of the bag is 1240 cm3, so you apply the main equation.... density=2790 g / 1240 cm3 , so density =  2,25 g/cm3

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.
