A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,

Zina [86]

1) The equivalent resistance is $2.73\Omega$

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

1)

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

where $R_1, R_2, R_3$ are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

$R_1 = 5.0 \Omega$

$R_2 = 10.0 \Omega$

$R_3 = 15.0 \Omega$

Substituting,

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}$

So the equivalent resistance is

$R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega$

2)

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

$V=120 V$

So, the voltage in the circuit is 120 V.

3)

The total current in the circuit can be found by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage

R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

I is the current

In this circuit, we have:

V = 120 V

$R=2.73\Omega$

Re-arranging the equation for I, we find the current:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{2.73}=44.0 A$

A block of mass 14.9 kg is pulled to the right by an applied force of 39.4 N. If it moves with constant velocity, how much frict

lakkis [162]

The frictional force is 39.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on the block is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. So we can write

$\sum F = ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we know that the box is moving with constant velocity, so its acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

This means that the net force is also zero:

$\sum F=0$

The net force on the block is given by the applied force, forward, and the frictional force, backward:

$\sum F = F_a-F_f=0$

where

$F_a=39.4 N$ is the applied force

$F_f$ is the frictional force

Therefore, solving for $F_f$ ,

$F_f=F_a=39.4 N$

Which actions are evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred? Check all that apply. a change in color the formation of a pre

NeTakaya

Answer:

a change in color
the formation of a precipitate
the formation of bubbles

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, there is always a rearrangement of atoms within the molecules of reactants to form new products. Such a change is different from changes in the physical form of molecules, e.g. shape.

Thus, according to this criteria, only three options are correct in the given question. A change in color is definitely an indication of chemical reaction because the emission of light before and after cannot be changed unless molecules are rearranged to form a new chemical. Likewise, precipitates form when a reaction takes place between chemically dissolved molecules to form less or not dissolvable compounds. In the end, the configuration of bubbles also indicates that the reaction has taken place because new gases are being released.

On the other hand, change in shape is a physical change because the composition doesn't need to also been changed. An example is the ice formation from water. Same is the case with "change of clear liquid to cloudy" because the addition of non-reactive substances could change the nature of liquid to cloudy however the reaction doesn't need to have taken place.

Which type of energy is stored in chemical compounds and released in chemical reactions? chemical energy potential energy kineti

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The answer is potential energy.

Explanation:

The reason is because chemical energy is stored in bonds that connects atoms with other atoms and molecules. It is in form of potential energy, when a chemical reaction takes place, the stored chemical energy is released
