<h2>Corrected Question: </h2>

Three resistors with values of 5.0 ohm, 10 ohm, and 15 ohms and are connected in series in a circuit with a 9.0-V battery. (a) What is the total equivalent resistance? (b) What is the current in each resistor? (c) At what rate is energy delivered to the 15 ohm resistor?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 30 ohm

(b) 0.3A

(c) 1.35W

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) When resistors are connected in series, their total equivalent resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the total resistance, R, of the resistors in question is;

R = 5.0 + 10 + 15

R = 30 ohm

Therefore, the total equivalent resistance is 30 ohm

(b) Also, when resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them and the value of the current is equal to the ratio of the voltage across their combined (total) resistance to their total resistance.  Therefore, to get the current, I, through each resistor, we find the ratio of the voltage, V, across their combined resistance to their total resistance, R as follows;

I = \frac{V}{R}            ------------------(i)

<em>From the question;</em>

V = 9.0V

R = 30 ohm (as calculated above)

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

I = \frac{9.0}{30}

I = 0.3A

Therefore the current in each resistor is 0.3A

(c) The rate at which energy is delivered to the 15 ohm resistor is the measure of the power, P, supplied to the resistor and is given by;

P = I²R                --------------------(ii)

Where;

R = the value of the resistor = 15 ohm

I = current in the resistor = 0.3A

<em>Substitute the values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

P = (0.3)² x 15

P = 0.09 x 15

P = 1.35W

Therefore, the rate at which energy is delivered to the 15 ohm resistor is 1.35W

Snowboarder Jump—Energy and Momentum
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

THE ANSWER TERMS ARE DEFINED BLOW:-

Explanation:

MOMENTUM- IT IS THE ABILITY TO INCREASE OR DEVELOP CONSTANT FORCE.

KINETIC ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PRTICLE POSSES WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY IN MOTION.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PARTICLE POSSES WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS IN RESTING STATE.

IN THIS ACIVITY THE SNOWBOARDER IS IN THE MOTION STATE THEREFORE HE POSSES KINETIC ENERGY AND TO MAINTAIN THAT KINEITC ENERG FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,MOMENTUM PLAYS IT'S ROLE.

An object of mass 4kg is moving along a horizontal plane. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 find the friction force
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of object, m = 4 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.2

The friction force acting on the object is calculated as;

F = μkN

F = μkmg

where;

F is the frictional force

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 0.2 x 4 x 9.8

F = 7.84 N

Therefore, the friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N

A spring has a equilibrium length of 10.0 cm. When a force of 40.0 N is applied to the spring, the spring has a length of 14.0 c
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m

Explanation:

Given;

equilibrium length of the spring, L = 10.0 cm

new length of the spring, L₀ = 14 cm

applied force on the spring, F = 40 N

extension of the spring due to applied force, e = L₀ - L = 14 cm - 10 cm = 4 cm

From Hook's law

Force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

F ∝ e

F = ke

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F / e

k = 40 / 0.04

k = 1000 N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant of this spring is 1000 N/m
