A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,

Zina [86]

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:

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

$R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega$

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.

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 100 kg box is suspended from two ropes. The "left rope makes an angle of 20" degrees with the vertical, and the right rope mak

GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 100 kg

Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.

From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :

$T_{1x} =-T_1 cos (20)$

$T_{2x} = T_2 cos (40)$

$mg_x = 0$

$T_{1y} = T_1 sin (20)$

$T_{2y} = T_2 sin (40)$

$mg_y= -mg$

Let $R_x$ and $R_y$ is the resultant in x and y direction.

$R_x=-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0$

$R_y=T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-mg$

As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,

$-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0=0$ .............(1)

$T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-100\times 9.8=0$ ..................(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:

$T_1=866.86\ N$ (tension on the left rope)

$T_2=1063.36\ N$ (tension on the right rope)

So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The force sensor measures the force on the sensor due to the bumper, but the cart's momentum change arises from the force on the

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

1 and 3 are necessary

Every bit of force applied to the bumper will be transmitted to the cart EXCEPT for the force needed to accelerate the bumper. This is the net force on the bumper.

If the bumper was heavy then a significant amount of force might be needed to accelerate the bumper so the amount transmitted to the cart would be substantially reduced.

If the net force on the bumper is small then the amount transmitted to the cart is almost the entire force applied.
