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

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • . What is the truck’s velocity
yuradex [85]

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .

So 907,175 kg-m/s = (36,287 kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (36,287 kg):

Speed = (907,175 kg-m/s) / (36,287 kg)

<em>Speed = 25 m/s</em>

That's the truck's <em>speed</em>. We can't do anything that involves the truck's <em>velocity,</em> because we don't know what direction the truck is moving.
