With the switch open, roughly what must be the resistance of the resistor on the right for the current out of the battery to be

the same as when the switch is closed (and the resistances of the two resistors are 20 Ω and 10 Ω)?

Answer:

The resistance must be 6.67\Omega

Solution:

Resistance, R_{1} = 20\Omega

Resistance, R_{2} = 10\Omega

For the current to be the same when the switch is open or closed, the resistances must be connected in parallel as current is distributed in parallel with the same voltage across the circuit:

Thus in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{10}

R_{eq} = 6.67\ \Omega

How does increasing the distance between charged objects affect the electric force between them? the electric force increases be
konstantin123 [22]

the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is given by

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the distance between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.

Invader Zim’s spaceship is sitting at rest in outer space. The ship then accelerates at a uniform rate of 12 m/s2 for 10 seconds
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 12 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s

v = 120 m/s

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Where, dT=T_{1}-T_{2}

Here, T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}

T_{0} = 25°C  (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)

c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}

c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute

Hence, This is the required answer.

Mr. Adams asked his students to write the chemical symbol for the element zinc. He wrote the students’ answers on the whiteboar
m_a_m_a [10]

The chemical symbol for the element zinc is Zn.

<h3>What is element?</h3>

A chemical element is the one which reacts with other elements to form a compound.

Any chemical symbol must have its first letter written in Uppercase. If the element has two letter chemical symbol, then it should be written in lowercase.

Thus, the student wrote Zn as the chemical symbol of Zinc on the whiteboard.
