A 3.0 \Omega Ω resistor is connected in parallel to a 6.0 \Omega Ω resistor, and the combination is connected in series with a 4

.0 \Omega Ω resistor. If this combination is connected across a 12.0 V battery, what is the power dissipated in the 3.0 \Omega Ω resistor?

Answer:

The power dissipated in the 3 Ω resistor is P= 5.3watts.

Explanation:

After combine the 3 and 6 Ω resistor in parallel, we have an 2 Ω and a 4 Ω resistor in series.

The resultating resistor is of Req=6Ω.

I= V/Req

I= 2A

the parallel resistors have a potential drop of Vparallel=4 volts.

I(3Ω) = Vparallel/R(3Ω)

I(3Ω)= 1.33A

P= I(3Ω)² * R(3Ω)

P= 5.3 Watts

wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

A girl (mass M) standing on the edge of a frictionless merry-go-round (radius R, rotational inertia I) that is not moving. She t
vladimir1956 [14]

a) \omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}

b) v=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}

Explanation:

a)

Since there are no external torques acting on the system, the total angular momentum must remain constant.

At the beginning, the merry-go-round and the girl are at rest, so the initial angular momentum is zero:

L_1=0

Later, after the girl throws the rock, the angular momentum will be:

L_2=(I_M+I_g)\omega +L_r

where:

I is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

I_g=MR^2 is the moment of inertia of the girl, where

M is the mass of the girl

R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

\omega is the angular speed of the merry-go-round and the girl

L_r=mvR is the angular momentum of the rock, where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its velocity

Since the total angular momentum is conserved,

L_1=L_2

So we find:

0=(I+I_g)\omega +mvR\\\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}

And the negative sign indicates that the disk rotates in the direction opposite to the motion of the rock.

b)

The linear speed of a body in rotational motion is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance of the body from the axis of rotation

In this problem, for the girl, we have:

\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2} is the angular speed

r=R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

Therefore, her linear speed is:

v=\omega R=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}

If a closed series circuit has a voltage of 12 V and R1 = 4 Ω and R2 = 2 Ω, what is the current running through R1 and R2?
Phantasy [73]
Total resistance=R1+ R2= 6Ω
Voltage=12v
Current =\frac{voltage}{resistance}
Current= 2A
In a series circuit, equal current passes through every resistance.
