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:

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

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

A ball is dropped from a height of 10m. At the same time, another ball is thrown

soldi70 [24.7K]

5.1 m

Explanation:

Let's set the ground as our reference point. Let's also call the dropped ball to be ball #1 and its height above the ground at any time t is given by

$y_1 = 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (1)

where 10 represents its initial height or displacement of 10 m above the ground. At the same time, the displacement of the second ball with respect to the ground $y_2,$ is given by

$y_2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

At the instant the two balls collide, they will have the same displacement, therefore

$y_1 = y_2 \Rightarrow 10 - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 = v_0t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

or

$v_0t = 10\:\text{m}$

Solving for t, we get

$t = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{v_0} = \dfrac{10\:\text{m}}{10\:\text{m/s}} = 1\:\text{s}$

We can use either Eqn(1) or Eqn(2) to hind the height where they collide. Let's use Eqn(1):

$y_1 = 10\:\text{m} - \frac{1}{2}(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(1\:\text{s})^2$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 5.1\:\text{m}$

What would be your estimate of the age of the universe if you measured a value for Hubble's constant of H0 = 30 km/s/Mly ? You c

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The age of the universe would be 9.9 billion years

Explanation:

We can calculate an estimate for the age of the Universe from Hubble's Law. Let's suppose the distance between two galaxies is D and the apparent velocity with which they are separating from each other is v. At some point, the galaxies were touching, and we can consider that time the moment of the Big Bang.

Thus, the time it has taken for the galaxies to reach their current separations is:

$\displaystyle{t=D/v}$

and from Hubble's Law:

$v =H_0D$

Therefore:

$\displaystyle{t=D/v=D/(H_0\times D)=1/H_0}$

With the given value for the Hubble's constant we have:

$H_0=(30\ km/s/Mly) \times (1 Mly/ 9.461 \times 10^{18} km) = 3.17\times 10^{-18}\ 1/s$

and thus,

$t=1/H_0 = 1/(3.17\times 10^{-18} 1/s) = 0.315 \times 10^{18}\ s \approx 9988584474.8858\ years \approx 9.9\ billion\ years$
