If a 4 Ω resistor, a 7 Ω resistor, and a 12 Ω resistor are connected in a series, which resistor has the most current in it?

Pani-rosa [81]

The current is the same at every point in a series circuit, so
each of those resistors has the same current flowing through it.

The current in that particular circuit is

(battery voltage) / (23) amperes.

An object is travels 50 m in 4 s. It had no initial velocity and experiences constant acceleration. What is the magnitude of the

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

s = s₀ + v₀t + ½at²

50 = 0 + 0(4) + ½a(4²)

50 = 8a

a = 50/8 = 6.25 m/s²

A ball is dropped from a cliff and has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 how long will it take the ball to reach a speed of 24.5 m/s

Fiesta28 [93]

Acceleration of ball (a) = 9.8 m/s^2 Speed (v) = 24.5 m/s Time (t) = Acceleration / Time = v / a = 24.5/9.8 = 2.5 s So it will take 2.5 seconds to reach that speed.
