TLDR: R=30 Ohms, I=2 Amps, 12V, 28V, 20V, respectively.

Alright, let’s break this down. There are three resistors in this circuit, meaning that we have to find the equivalent resistance. Luckily, they are all in parallel with one another; this means we can add the resistances together without having to do inverses like in a series problem. This means that the equivalent resistance, Req, would equal:

Req=R1 + R2 + R3

Req=6 + 14+ 10

Req=30 Ohms

This means that we could theoretically replace all three resistors with a 30 Ohm resistor and accomplish the same goal. Now, the entire voltage of the system would normally be reduced to zero after passing through the resistors - in this case, the 60 Vs would be lost after passing through 30 Ohms. This means we’re losing 2V/Ohm; now we can figure out how much we’re losing at each resistor.

By losing 2V per Ohm, we’re losing 12 V at the first resistor, 28 V at the second resistor, and 20 V at the third resistor.

Finally, we can calculate the current through the circuit; for a series circuit, the current remains the same. Using V=IR, we can find that:

V=IR

60 V = I(30 Ohms)

I = 2 Amps

The current passing through the circuit is 2 Amps.

Hope this helps!

A car passes point “A” and then 120 meters later. It’s velocity was measured 21 m/s. If it’s acceleration was constant at 0.853

Norma-Jean [14]

Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x$

where $v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely; $a$ is the acceleration; and $\Delta x$ is the change in position.

So we have

$\left(21\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-{v_i}^2=2\left(0.853\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(120\,\mathrm m)$

$\implies v_i\approx\boxed{15.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)

In addition to observing wind speed, wind direction, temperature, air pressure, and humidity, meteorologists observe what?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Precipitation amounts

Explanation:

Meteorologists are scientists whose job is to predict different weather weather conditions. They study the atmosphere of the earth thoroughly so as to make a clear and concise weather forecast.

Meteorologists makes it possible for people to get information on possible rainfall or sunshine, it also enable people to know about a possible hurricance occurrence.

Meteorologists make use of a variety of tools to predict the weather, they include: wind vanes, barometers, anemometers, rain gauges, thermometer, hydrometer, Campbell Stokes Recorder,Transmissometer.

Q7) A box sliding with a velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2. How

grigory [225]

Answer:

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that velocity given in statement represents the initial velocity of the box and, likewise, the box accelerates at constant rate. Then, the displacement of the object ( $\Delta s$ ), in meters, can be determined by the following expression:
