Answer: 3 Amperes

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 volts

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 5Ω

Total resistance = ?

Current, I = ?

Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

Rtotal = 3Ω + 5Ω = 8Ω

Now recall that voltage = current x resistance

i.e V = I x Rtotal

24volts = I x 8Ω

I = 24 volts / 8Ω

I = 3 amperes

Thus, there is 3 Amperes of current in the circuit

A motorcycle accelerates from a stop at a rate of 4m/s 2 for 20 seconds. It then continues at a

8_murik_8 [283]

After 20 s, the motorcycle attains a speed of

$\left(4\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(20\,\mathrm s)=80\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and it continues at this speed for the next 40 s. So at 45 s, its speed is 80 m/s.

A 87 kg man has a total mechanical energy of 1780 J .If he is swinging downward and is currently 1.4 m above the ground, what is

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

6.4m/s

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the man is 1780J.

This mechanical energy is the energy due to the motion of the body and it is a form of kinetic energy.

Also, mass = 87kg

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

1780 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 87 x v²

v² = 40.9

v = 6.4m/s

An object is tracked by a radar station and found to have a position vector given by r = (4570-160 t) i + 2930j + 130k , with r

Kipish [7]

Answer:

a)P= -4800 i

b)F= 0

Explanation:

Given that

r = (4570-160 t) i + 2930 j + 130 k

We know that velocity is rate of change of the space vector.

V= dr/dt

r = (4570-160 t) i + 2930 j + 130 k

dr/dt= -160 i + 0 + 0

dr/dt= -160 i

V= -160 i

It means that velocity is in only x-direction

We also know that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity .

a= dV/dt

V= -160 i

dV/dt=0

So we can say that acceleration is zero.

a= 0

From Second law of Newton'

Force = Mass x acceleration

F= 300 x 0

F= 0

We know that linear momentum P

P = m V

Given that m= 300 kg

P = 300 x (-160 i)

P= -4800 i
