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

Calculate the net force on the right charge due to the other two. Enter a positive value if the force is directed to the right a
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Answer:

A. - 0.017N. It acts to the left.

B. - 0.043N. It acts to the left.

C. 0.060N. It acts to the right.

Explanation:

A. For the +65μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the two other charges are on the +x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [KQ(1)Q(2)]/(r^2) + [KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2)

Where K = Coloumbs constant =

Q(1) = charge on the leftmost side.

Q(2) = charge in the middle.

Q(3) = charge on the rightmost side.

F = [(8.988 × 10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(48×10^-6)]/(40^2) + [(8.988 × 10^9)×(-95×10^-6)×(65×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = 0.01753 - 0.03469

F = -0.017N

It has a negative sign, hence, it acts to the left.

B. For the +48μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the leftmost charge is on the - x axis and the rightmost charge is on the +x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [-KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2) + [KQ(2)Q(3)]/(r^2)

F = [-(8.988×10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(48×10^-6)]/(40^2) + [(8.988 × 10^9)×(48×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = -0.017 - 0.02562

F = - 0.043N

It has a negative sign, hence, it acts to the left.

C. For the -95μC charge, we consider it to be the origin. Hence, the two other charges are on the - x axis.

The net coulombs force on the charge is

F = [-KQ(1)Q(3)]/(r^2) - [KQ(2)Q(3)]/(r^2)

F = [-(8.988×10^9)×(65×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2) - [(8.988 × 10^9)×(48×10^-6)×(-95×10^-6)]/(40^2)

F = +0.03469 + 0.02562

F = +0.060N

It has a positive sign, hence, it acts to the right.

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s

kirill [66]

264Ns

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of the push = 3s

Force of push = 88N

Unknown:

Impulse = ?

Solution:

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of a body when force acts on it.

  Impulse = Force x time

Inputting the parameters:

    Impulse = 88 x 3 = 264Ns
