Answer:

The current in the 10.0- Ω resistor is 1.16A

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in series, they are have the same current.

When they are in parallel, their current is divided.

The equivalent resistance of parallel resistors R1 and R2 is:

Req = R1*R2/(R1 + R2)

Initially, we use Ohm's Rule to solve this question.

V = Ri

In which V is the Voltage, R is the resistence and i is the current.

Among two resistors, R1 and R2, in parralel, we have that

iR1 = i(0)R2/(R1 + R2)

In which i(0) is the current entering.

Three resistors connected in parallel have individual values of 4.0, 6.0, and 10.0 Ω, respectively. In series with a 12-V battery and a 2.0- Ω resistor.

The current entering the parallel is the same current as it is for the 2.0- Ω resistor, with 12 V.

It is

V = Ri

12 = 2i

i = 6A

This means that i(0) = 6A.

4.0, 6.0, and 10.0 Ω in parallel

We want the current in the 10.0 Ω resistor.

The current divisor is not applicable with 3 resistors. However, we can calculate the equivalent resistance for the resistors of 4 and 6, and then the current divisor with the 10. So

Req = 4*6/(4+6) = 2.4

iR10 = 6*2.4/(10 + 2.4) = 1.16

The current in the 10.0- Ω resistor is 1.16A

Planet Tatoone is about 1.7 AU from its Sun. Approximately how long will it take for light to travel from the Sun to Tatoone in
Radda [10]

Answer:

The value is   t =  14.129 \  minutes    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of planet Tatoone is  d =  1.7 \ AU  =  1.7 *1.496* 10^{11}=2.543*10^{11} \ m

   The  speed of light is  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/  s

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

     t =  \frac{d}{c}

=> t =  \frac{2.543*10^{11}}{3.0*10^{8} }

=>    t =  847.7 \  s

Now converting to minutes

       t =  \frac{847.7}{60}

   =>     t =  14.129 \  minutes

What do simple machines increase?<br> Force<br> Density<br> Work<br> Mechanical advantage
Orlov [11]
The wheel and axle increases your force. You exert your input force over a long distance and the output force is increased over a shorter distance. (Because the wheel is larger than the axle, the axle rotates and exerts a large output force.) A simple machine with a grooved wheel with a rope or cable wrapped around it.

A magnetic field is uniform over a flat, horizontal circular region with a radius of 1.50 mm, and the field varies with time. In
Daniel [21]

Answer:81.57\mu V

Explanation:

Given

radius of circular region r=1.50 mm

A=\pi r^2=7.069\times 10^{-6}\ m^2

Magnetic Field B=1.50\ T

time t=130 ms

Flux is given by

\phi =B\cdot A

change in Flux d\phi =(B_f-B_i)A

Emf induced is e=\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi}{\mathrm{d} t}

e=\frac{(1.5)\cdot 7.069\times 10^{-6}}{130\times 10^{-3}}

e=81.57 \mu V
