<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

The average period of pendulum clock is found to be 1.2s at sea level. The period of the same pendulum on a mountain top is foun
Kipish [7]

Answer:

g' = 10.12m/s^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain, you first calculate the length of the pendulum, by using the information about the period at the sea level.

You use the following formula:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}         (1)

l: length of the pendulum = ?

g: acceleration due to gravity at sea level = 9.79m/s^2

T: period of the pendulum at sea level = 1.2s

You solve for l in the equation (1):

l=\frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}\\\\l=\frac{(9.79m/s^2)(1.2s)^2}{4\pi^2}=0.35m

Next, you use the information about the length of the pendulum and the period at the top of the mountain, to calculate the acceleration due to gravity in such a place:

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g'}}\\\\g'=\frac{4\pi^2l}{T'^2}

g': acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain

T': new period of the pendulum

g'=\frac{4\pi^2(0.35m)}{(1.18s)^2}=10.12\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity at the top of the mountain is 10.12m/s^2

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
