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 1200-kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 0.0001-kilogram insect. As a result, the insect is accelerated at a rate of 100 m
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

force = 1 × 10^{-2} N

Explanation:

given data

automobile mass = 1200 kg

insect mass = 0.0001 kg

insect accelerated = 100 m/s²

to find out

magnitude of the force the insect exerts on the car

solution

we get here force the insect exerts that is express as

force = mass × acceleration    ............1

put here value we get

force = 0.0001 × 100 m/s²

force = 1 × 10^{-2} N

Banked Curves: A 600-kg car is going around a banked curve with a radius of 110 m at a steady speed of 24.5 m/s. What is the app
Aleks04 [339]

The angle of baking from the calculation is obtained as 30°.

<h3>What is banking?</h3>

The term banking refers to a means of preventing vehicles from skidding off the road at curves.

We know that the banking angle is obtained from;

θ = tan-1(v^2/rg)

v = 24.5 m/s

r = 110 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

θ = tan-1(25^2/9.8 * 110)

θ = tan-1(625 /1078)

θ = 30°
