Answer:

2.9Ω

Explanation:

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they are arranged side by side such that their corresponding ends are joined together at two common junctions. The combined resistance in such arrangement of resistors is given by;

1/Req= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 .........+ 1/Rn

Where;

Req refers to the equivalent resistance and R1, R2, R3 .......Rn refers to resistance of individual resistors connected in parallel.

Note that;

R1= 6.0Ω

R2 = 9.0Ω

R3= 15.0 Ω

Therefore;

1/Req = 1/6 + 1/9 + 1/15

1/Req= 0.167 + 0.11 + 0.067

1/Req= 0.344

Req= (0.344)^-1

Req= 2.9Ω

reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 0.916 km due east, 0
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km    Average velocity: 1.274\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

  • 0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as  direction towards the negative side of X-axis.
  • 0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
  • 3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y  axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑Sx = Ax -0.916 ⇒  ∑Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916

∑Sx = 1.361 km

∑Sy = Ay - 0.918 ⇒ ∑Sy = 3.52sin(49.7) - 0.918

∑Sy = 1.767

The total displacement is calculated using Pythagoeran therorem:

S_{total} =\sqrt{Sx^{2}+ Sy^{2} } ⇒

S_{total} = 2.230 km

With displacement calculated, we can find the average speed as follows:

V = S/t  ⇒  V = \frac{2.230}{1.750}

V = 1.274\frac{km}{h}

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft

Explain electric circuits. Be sure to include the features, the roles, and the types. Help PLEASEEEE!!
maksim [4K]
If there was any way to do that, then your teacher wouldn't
need to keep you coming into class every day and doing
homework every night.  She could just give you the 3 or 4
paragraphs and a few pictures that you're asking me for,
and bada-bing ! you'd know it !

The time it takes, and the amount of homework it takes, is
EXACTLY the time you spent hearing about it in class.

(Unless you're some kind of genius savant prodigy, which
you're not and I'm not.)

vladimir1956 [14]
I think F= mv²/r
And F=ma
So, ma = mv²/r
a = v²/r
a = 100/5
a = 20 m/s
