Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²

he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂  __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69  = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>

If you are traveling around a curve at a constant speed will your velocity change?
marta [7]

Velocity means [ (speed) and (direction) ].

If you're traveling around a curve, then your direction is
always changing.  So your velocity is always changing,
even if your speed isn't.

daser333 [38]

Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed)

Change in speed = (10 m/s) - (20 m/s) = -10 m/s

Time for the change = 5.00 seconds

Acceleration = (-10 m/s) / (5 sec)

<em>Acceleration = -2 m/s²</em>

That's choice-A .

HELP <br> which two changes to a metal wire both increases resistance? the answer is B but why ?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<h2>option C </h2><h2>decreasing its thickness and increasing its temperature. </h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Resistance is directly proportional to length and temperature of the wire and inversely to area.</h2>

<h3>if you increase the temperature the resistance will increase.(resistance is directly proportional to temperature)</h3>

<h3>if you decrease its thickness (area) then the resistance will increase ( resistance is inversely proportional to area)</h3>

hope it helps:)
