A 16.0 Ω, 13.0 Ω, and 7.00 Ω resistor are connected in parallel to an emf source. A current of 6.00 A is in the 13.0 Ω resistor.

Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Answer in units of Ω.

The current in one parallel resistor doesn't tell us the equivalent resistance of the circuit. And the equivalent resistance of the circuit doesn't depend on the current through any of the resistors, or the voltage applied to them, or even whether there IS any current through any of them.  

Resistors in parallel have the same equivalent resistance even if they're wrapped in tissue, placed in a matchbox, and stored in the back of a drawer in a desk and locked in a dusty warehouse.

The equivalent resistance of 16Ω, 13Ω, and 7Ω all in parallel is the reciprocal of

(1/16) + (1/13) + (1/7) .

That's  1 / (0.0625 + 0.0769 + 0.1429)

That's  1 / (0.2823)

That's   <em>3.543 Ω</em> .

Answer:3.54ohms

Explanation: connection in parallel

1/Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

1/Rt= 1/16+1/13+1/7

1/Rt= 91+112+208/1456

1/Rt= 411/1456

411Rt= 1456

Rt= 1456/411

Rt= 3.54ohms

ivann1987 [24]

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can
lord [1]

Answer:

I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

  • smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
  • based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
  • now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
  • high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
  • Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly
