Answer:

V= 57.5 V

Explanation:

  • If the resistors are in the linear zone of operation, the potential difference across them, must obey Ohm's law:

        V = I*R

  • For the 6.0 Ω resistor, if the potential difference across it is 15 V, we can find the current flowing through it as follows:

       I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{15 V}{6.0 \Omega} = 2.5 A

  • In a series circuit, the current is the same at any point of it, so the current through the battery is I = 2.5 A
  • The equivalent resistance of a series circuit is just the sum of the resistances, so, in this case, we can write the following equation:

      R_{eq} = R_{1} +R_{2} = 17.0 \Omega + 6.0 \Omega = 23.0 \Omega

  • Applying Ohm's Law to the equivalent resistance, we can find the potential difference through it, that must be equal to the potential difference across the battery, as follows:

        V = I* R_{eq}  = 2.5 A * 23.0 \Omega = 57.5 V

Suppose the U.S. national debt is about $14 trillion. If payments were made at the rate of $3,500 per second, how many years wou
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It will take 126.84 years to pay off the debt

Explanation:

Total debt = $14,000,000,000,000.00

Paid $3,500 per second

Number of seconds to pay off the debt will be:

14 ×10^12 /3500

Number of seconds = 4× 10^9 seconds

Converting seconds to year:

I second = 3.171 ×10^-8 calendar year

Therefore, number of years it will take to pay off $14 Trillion =( 4 ×10^9 ) × ( 3.171 × 10^-8)

Number of years = 126.84 years

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Ff = 839.05 N

Explanation:

We can use the equation:

Ff = μ*N

where <em>N</em> can be obtained as follows:

∑ Fc = m*ac   ⇒   N - F = m*ac = m*ω²*R    ⇒  N = F + m*ω²*R

then if

F = 32 N

m = 133 Kg

R = 0.635 m

ω = 95 rev /min = (95 rev / min)(2π rad / 1 rev)(1 min / 60 s) = 9.9484 rad /s

we get

N = 32 N + (133 Kg)*(9.9484 rad /s)²*(0.635 m) = 8390.53 N

Finally

Ff = μ*N = 0.10*(8390.53 N) = 839.05 N

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

so

m = 4000 / 2.20462 =  1814.37 kg

Initial velocity V_{i} = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity V_{f} = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = \frac{1}{2}m(  V_{i}² - V_{f}² )

we substitute

Δk = \frac{1}{2}×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = \frac{1}{2} × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

so

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh
