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

If the frequency of a wave is 400hz and it’s wave length is2.5 what is the velocity ?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To begin with, we can use the formula that links frequency, wavelength and velocity.

Because you already have the wavelength and the frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

Therefore, 400 x 2.5 = 1000m/s.

Hope this helps :)

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Static electricity is what makes your hair stand up when you rub a balloon against it or gives you a shock from your doorknob. In static electricity, electrons are moved around mechanically (i.e. by someone rubbing two things together).

Escape velocity of an object from the surface of a planet depends upon:
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Escape velocity: Measuring the gravitational strength of an object

The escape velocity is the exact amount of energy you would need to escape the gravitational clutches of an object with mass. Since all objects have mass, they all have a measureable gravitational strength. A good way to think about escape velocity is to think about a deep well (physicists like to think of this as an energy well). If you are at the bottom of the well and want to get out (to escape), you need enough energy to climb out. The deeper the well, the more energy you will have to expend in order to climb to

the top. If you have only enough energy to get half way out, you will eventually fall back to the bottom. The escape velocity is a way of measuring the exact amount of energy needed to reach the lip of the well -- and have no energy left over for walking away.

When a ball is thrown up into the air from the surface of the Earth, it does not have enough energy to escape. So it falls back down. How might we enable the ball to escape? Throw it harder, give it more energy. How hard must we throw it? Just hard enough to get over the top, over the edge of the well.

We can find this energy directly by saying that the kinetic energy of the thrown ball must exactly equal the 'potential energy' of the well. From basic physics we know that the potential energy for an object at a height above a surface is:

Epotential= GMm/R

where

G = Newton's universal constant of gravity = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m2/kg3

M = the mass of the 'attracting object' [the planet] [in units of kg]

m = the mass of the object trying to escape [e.g., me or a ball or a rocket or a molecule] [in kg]

R = the distance between the centers of objects M and m [in units of m]

note: provided we do everything in the same units, we don't have to worry about units

while the kinetic energy we know from above:

Ekinetic=0.5 m v2

where

m = mass of the moving object [in kg]

v = the velocity of object m [in m/sec]

If we set these two energies equal to each other, and solve for v, we find the exact velocity needed to escape from the energy well:

0.5 m v2= GMm/R

v= (2GM/R)0.5

and since this velocity is exactly what is needed to 'escape,' it is called the escape velocity:

vescape= (2GM/R)0.5

that's my all i know
