<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

If you were on a ship at sea, and a tsunami passed under your ship, what would probably be your reaction? explain.
swat32
<span>Extremely powerful single waves have no effect on ships at sea since the depth of water allows the energy to be distributed over hundreds and thousands of feet. In deep water, the bigger the wave, the faster it moves and the slower the surface changes height. As the wave gets into shallow waters, it slows down and can start to pile up to large heights.</span>

A wheel turns through 5.5 revolutions while being accelerated from rest at 20rpm/s.(a) What is the final angular speed ? (b) How
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

(a) The final angular speed is 12.05 rad/s

(b) The time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is 5.74 s

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolutions, θ = 5.5 revolutions

acceleration of the wheel, α = 20 rpm/s

number of revolutions in radian is given as;

θ = 5.5 x 2π = 34.562 rad

angular acceleration in rad/s² is given as;

\alpha = \frac{20 \ rev}{min} *\frac{1}{s} *(\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev } *\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}) \\\\\alpha = 2.1 \ rad/s^2

(a)

The final angular speed is given as;

\omega _f^2 = \omega_i ^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 = 0 +  2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 =   2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f = \sqrt{2\alpha \theta}\\\\ \omega _f  = \sqrt{2(2.1) (34.562)}\\\\ \omega _f = 12.05 \ rad/s

(b) the time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is given as

\omega _f = \omega _i + \alpha t\\\\12.05 = 0 + 2.1t\\\\t = \frac{12.05}{2.1} \\\\t = 5.74 \ s
