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

Suppose an electron and a proton move at the same speed. which particle has a longer de broglie wavelength? suppose an electron
BARSIC [14]
When both particles, the electron and the proton move at the same speed, they may have differences with their de Broglie wavelength, the particle that would have a longer wavelength would be the proton since the wavelength is in direct proportionality with the mass of the particle.

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N
