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

grigory [225]
Acceleration x time = velocity 

Since you're given acceleration and time, just plug the values into the equation. 

3\frac{m}{s^{2}} x 1.1 s = ? 

Solve that equation, and remember your velocity should be in m/s.

7. Using Analogies Explain how the behavior

The relative motion of gaseous particles increases with increase in the temperature of the gas molecules just like the motion of popcorn in a popper increases when heat is applied to the popper.

<h3>What is kinetic theory of gas?</h3>

The kinetic theory of gases or matter states that matter consists of tiny particles which are constant motion, colliding with one another and with walls of the containing vessels.

Just like a popcorn in a popcorn popper pops when heat is applied to the popper, gases contained in a cylinder increases their speed when they acquire more kinetic energy as the temperature of the cylinder increases.

Thus, the motion of gas particles depends on the temperature of the containing vessel so also does the random motion of popcorn depends on the temperature of the popper.

During an experiment, you take a measurement of 12.9 inches.
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

12.9 inches= 12.9 x 2.54

= 32.766

= 32.8 cm (approximately)

Find the direction and magnitude of Ftot, the total force exerted on her by the others, given that the magnitudes F1 and F2 are
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

 θ = 36°

Explanation:

given,

F₁ = 22.8 N

F₂ = 16.6 N

magnitude of force = ?

direction of force = ?

F = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}

F = \sqrt{22.8^2 + 16.6^2}

F = \sqrt{795.4}

      F = 28.20 N

direction

\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{F_2}{F_1})

\theta = tan^{-1}(\dfrac{16.6}{22.8})

\theta = tan^{-1}(0.728)

       θ = 36°
