Answer:

The potential difference across the source is 30.45 V.

Explanation:

In this setup we have a voltage divider, we were given the voltage difference on one of the resistors, we know that the difference pottential from the source in this case is the sum of the voltage in each individual resistor, so we can use the following equation to solve this problem:

V_resistor5.4 = (V_source)*(R_5.4)/(R_5.4+R_8.3)

V_source = (V_resistor5.4)*(R_5.4+R_8.3)/(R_5.4)

V_source = (12)*(5.4+8.3)/5.4

V_source = (12)*(13.7)/5.4 = 30.45 V

he potential difference across the source is 30.45 V.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

A 200 N trash can is pulled across the sidewalk by a person at constant speed by a force of 75 N. What is the coefficient of fri
Pavel [41]

Answer:

μ = 0.375

Explanation:

F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N

W = weight of the trash can = 200 N

f = frictional force acting on trash can

Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as

F - f = 0

75 - f = 0

f = 75 N

μ = Coefficient of friction

frictional force is given as

f = μ W

75 = μ (200)

μ = 0.375

The two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies. The two forces in each pai
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when we apply force in one direction on an object then the object also applies a force in the opposite direction.

Hence, it is true that two forces in each pair of forces act in opposite directions.

For example, when we push a wooden box of 20 kg in the forward direction then the box will also apply a force in the opposite direction.

But the statement two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies is false.
