Answer:
1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) 0.5 A
3) 3.6 V
Explanation:
1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.
Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3
Making Rt the subject gives;
Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)
Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;
Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
We are given;
R1 = 7.2 Ω
R2 = 8 Ω
R3 = 12 Ω
R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))
R_total = 7.2 + 4.8
R_total = 12 Ω
Formula for current is;
I = V/R
I = 6/12
I = 0.5 A
3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.
Thus, potential difference through R1 is;
V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V
Viruses are microscopic organisms that exist almost everywhere on earth. They can infect animals, plants, fungi, and even bacteria.
Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so deadly that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger no noticeable reaction.
A virus may also have one effect on one type of organism, but a different effect on another. This explains how a virus that affects a cat may not affect a dog.
Viruses vary in complexity. They consist of genetic material, RNA or DNA, surrounded by a coat of protein, lipid (fat), or glycoprotein. Viruses cannot replicate without a host, so they are classified as parasitic.
They are considered the most abundant biological entity on the planet.
Answer: 49.5 m
Explanation:
The speed of sound
is given by a relation between the distance
and the time
:
(1)
Where:
is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)
since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance
towards the cliff
Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff
Having this information clarified, let's isolate
and then find
:
(2)
(3)
Finding
:
This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.
