Answer:

12 ohms

Explanation:

The five 60 Ohms resistance can be represented as follows:

R1 = 60 Ohms

R2 = 60 Ohms

R3= 60 Ohms

R4 = 60 Ohms

R5 = 60 Ohms

Rt =?

Since they are in parallel connections, the equivalent resistance (Rt) can be calculated as follows :

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R4 + 1/R5

1/Rt = 1/60 + 1/60 + 1/60 + 1/60 + 1/60

1/Rt = ( 1+1+1+1+1)/60

1/Rt = 5/60

1/Rt = 1/12

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Rt = 12 ohms

Therefore the equivalent resistance is 12ohms

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

A ball is thrown vertically down from the edge of a cliff with a speed of 4 m/s, how high is the cliff, if it took 12 s for the

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The height of the cliff from which the ball was dropped from is 224.4m.

\overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}

Given the data in the question;

Initial velocity of the ball;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground;

Distance or Height of the cliff from which the ball was thrown from;

To get the height of the Cliff, we use the Second Equation of Motion:

Where s is the distance or height, is the initial velocity, t is the time and a is the acceleration. Since the ball was thrown down from a certain height (cliff), its is now under the influence of gravity. acceleration due to gravity;

Hence, the equation becomes

We substitute the given values into the equation

Therefore, the height of the cliff from which the ball was dropped from is 224.4m

A +12 Î¼C charge and -8 Î¼C charge are 4 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the E-field at the point midway between t

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge of first Particle $q_1=+12\ \mu C$

Charge of second Particle $q_2=-8\ \mu C$

distance between them $d=4\ cm$

$k=9\times 10^{9}$

magnetic field due to first charge at mid-way between two charged particles is

$E_1=\frac{kq_1}{r^2}$

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ cm$

$E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 12\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$E_1=27\times 10^7\ N/C$ (away from it)

Electric field due to $q_2=-8\ \mu C$

$E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}$

$E_2=-\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$E_2=-18\times 10^7\ N/C$ (towards it)

$E_{net}=E_1+E_2$

$E_{net}=9\times 10^7\ N/C$ (away from first charge)
