Answer:

V_3\approx 4.28\,\,V

I_1=0.0572\,\,amps

I_3\approx 0.171\,\,amps

Explanation:

Notice that this is a circuit with resistors R1 and R2 in parallel, connected to resistor R3 in series. It is what is called a parallel-series combination.

So we first find the equivalent resistance for the two resistors in parallel:

\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{50}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{3}{100}\\Re=\frac{100}{3} \,\,\Omega

By knowing this, we can estimate the total current through the circuit,:

Vs=I\,*\,(\frac{100}{3} +25)\\10=I\,*\,\frac{175}{3} \\I=\frac{30}{175} \,amps

So approximately 0.17  amps

and therefore, we can estimate the voltage drop (V3) in R3 uisng Ohm's law:

V_3=\frac{30}{175} *\,25=\frac{30}{7} \approx 4.28\,\,V

So now we know that the potential drop across the parellel resistors must be:

10 V -  4.28 V = 5.72 V

and with this info, we can calculate the current through R1 using Ohm's Law:

I_1=\frac{V_1}{R_1} =\frac{5.72}{100} =0.0572\,\,amps

A package is dropped from an air balloon two times. In the first trial the distance between the balloon and the surface is Hand
enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

v=gt

And the distance traveled downwards is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Replacing into the first equation:

\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Rationalizing:

\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}

Taking out the square root of 4:

\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

How do you find period when you have frequency
nydimaria [60]

Period and frequency are mutual reciprocals.

Period = 1 / frequency .

Frequency = 1 / period

(Frequency) x (Period) = 1

You are given two objects of identical size, one made of aluminum and the other of lead. You hang each object separately from a
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of lead object = volume of aluminium object = V

mass of lead object > mass of aluminium object

When both the objects immersed in water, the buoyant force acting on both the objects.

Buoyant force = Volume immersed  x density of water x gravity

As the volume of both the objects is same, so the buoyant force acting on both the objects is same.

So, weight in air of lead object is more than the weight in air of aluminium object.
