The equivalent resistance is D) 7.55 \Omega

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance of n resistors in parallel is given by the equation:

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

For three resistors such as in this problem, the equation becomes

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

where we have the following:

R_1 = 10 \Omega is the resistance of the 1st resistor

R_2 = 50 \Omega is the resistance of the 2nd resistor

R_3 = 80 \Omega is the resistance of the 3rd resistor

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{80}=0.133 \Omega^{-1}

R=\frac{1}{0.133}=7.55 \Omega

Which example identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?
kifflom [539]
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.

aniked [119]
The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.
