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

How fast can a 4000 kg truck travel around a 70 m radius turn without skidding if its tires share a 0.6 friction coefficient wit
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Velocity of truck will be 20.287 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the truck m = 4000 kg

Radius of the turn r = 70 m

Coefficient of friction \mu =0.6

Centripetal force is given  F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

And frictional force is equal to F_{frictional}=\mu mg

For body to be move these two forces must be equal

So \frac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg

v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.6\times 70\times 9.8}=20.287m/sec

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.

When hydrogen is fused into helium, energy is released from Choose one: A. the increase in pressure. B. the decrease in the grav
Tatiana [17]

The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.

What is nuclear fusion?

When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.

It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.

The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.
