Answer:

The answer is 9 Newtons to the right.

Explanation:

According to Newton's laws: The net force is the sum of all the forces acted upon the object or

Net force = ∑ of all forces.

In our problem we have two forces, one is going to the right and the other one goes to the left.

We are going to assume that the forces going to the right are positive and the forces to the left, negative.

Therefore the net force acting upon the object is:

Net force = 22 + (-13)

Net force = 22 - 13

Net force = 9 N.

As the force is positive, we can conclude that the force is going to the right.

9 Newtons on the right, because:

Right and left are opposite directions, however, in the same direction.

We know that, opposite directions, the signal is of subtraction. So, you need to make the difference between 22 and 13, you will see that it is 9. Therefore, the Resulting Force will be 9.

In an electric field, 0.90 joule of work is required to bring 0.45 coulomb of charge from point a to point

jarptica [38.1K]

The difference in electric potential energy between the two points is
$\Delta U = q \Delta V$
where q is the magnitude of the charge and $\Delta V$ is the electric potential difference.

But for energy conservation, the difference in electric potential energy $\Delta U$ between the two points is equal to the work done to move the charge between A and B:
$W=\Delta U$
so we have
$W=q \Delta V$

and by substituting the numbers of the problem, we find the value of $\Delta V$ :
$\Delta V = \frac{W}{q}= \frac{0.90 J}{0.45 C}=2 V$

Anettt [7]

<h2>Question:</h2>

In this circuit the resistance R1 is 3Ω, R2 is 7Ω, and R3 is 7Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be?

Answer:

9.1Ω

Explanation:

The circuit diagram has been attached to this response.

(i) From the diagram, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel to each other. The reciprocal of their equivalent resistance, say Rₓ, is the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances of each of them. i.e

$\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}$

=> $R_{X} = \frac{R_1 * R_2}{R_1 + R_2}$ ------------(i)

From the question;

R1 = 3Ω,

R2 = 7Ω

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

$R_{X} = \frac{3 * 7}{3 + 7}$

$R_{X} = \frac{21}{10}$

$R_{X} = 2.1$ Ω

(ii) Now, since we have found the equivalent resistance (Rₓ) of R1 and R2, this resistance (Rₓ) is in series with the third resistor. i.e Rₓ and R3 are connected in series. This is shown in the second image attached to this response.

Because these resistors are connected in series, they can be replaced by a single resistor with an equivalent resistance R. Where R is the sum of the resistances of the two resistors: Rₓ and R3. i.e

R = Rₓ + R3

Rₓ = 2.1Ω

R3 = 7Ω

=> R = 2.1Ω + 7Ω = 9.1Ω

Therefore, the combination of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 can be replaced with a single resistor with an equivalent resistance of 9.1Ω

Kay [80]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_f = 4 m/s$

Part b)

$t = 0.001 s$

Part c)

$d = 0.815 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that initially the grass hopper is at rest at the ground position

Now the acceleration is given as

$a = 4000 m/s^2$

distance of the legs that it stretched is given as

$s = 2.0 mm$

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(4000)(0.002)$

$v_f = 4 m/s$

Part b)

time taken to reach this speed is given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$4 - 0 = 4000 t$

$t = 0.001 s$

Part c)

as the grass hopper reach the maximum height its final speed would be zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 4^2 = 2(-9.81) d$

$d = 0.815 m$
