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

amid [387]

a.) the belief that stars and planets revolve around the earth

Explanation:

The geocentric model of stars and planets is the belief that stars and planets revolves around the earth.

The model places the earth at the center of the system.

  • Geo - earth ; centric - center
  • This was the original school of thought about the way the earth relates to other bodies in the universe.
  • This model was replaced by the heliocentric universe in which stars are at the center and the planets revolves round them.
  • The idea was put forward by Nicola Copernicus

viva [34]

Answer:

the acceleration during the collision is: - 5  \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Using the formula:

a=\frac{\Delta\,v}{\Delta\,t}

we get:

a=\frac{-0.4-0.6}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =\frac{-1}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =-5\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

A scientist performs an experiment on an unknown element. She finds that the element forms an ionic bond with beryllium (Be) but
Bumek [7]

To fill up all of the valence electrons we must have 8 electrons total to have an ionic bond.  In this case Lithium is in group 1 and so only has 1 valence electron and so it can bond with elements from group 17, since 7 + 1 = 8.  However, this unknown element did bond with beryllium, and beryllium is in group 2 so it must bond with an atom that has 6 valence electrons.  The elements that have 6 valence electrons are in group 16 not group 2.  So the result does not support her conclusion.
