in a circuit with two resistors in parallel, which of the following pair applies? a. V and I both increase across both resistors

. b. V is constant across both resistors, but the current changes. c. Voltage and current both remain constant over both branches of the circuit. d. V and I both decrease across both resistors

The wording of the choices is really unclear.  With two resistors in parallel,
here's the situation:

-- The voltage across each resistor is the same as the voltage across
the other one.  If the parallel combination is connected to the battery,
then the voltage across each resistor is the full battery voltage.

-- The current through each resistor is (V) / (the resistance of that resistor).
That's the same current as would flow through that resistor if the other one
were not there.

-- As long as the battery or other power supply holds out, neither of these
quantities changes.

Can you match this situation to one of the choices listed ?
It looks to me as if choice 'C' is the one that's most likely
trying to say this.

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what
marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

       

\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}

Where d is the distance to the star.

p('') = \frac{1}{d} (1)  

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')} (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).

For the case of   (p('') = 0.01):

d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}

d(pc) = 100

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second

How would you respond to a person who argued that the Big Bang theory is incorrect because it is only a theory and theories have
Umnica [9.8K]

Well, you would reply that that's not what theories are. Theories explain the how and the why, laws explain the what. So, the Big Bang theory isn't "just a theory". It's a theory, it explains the how. (Also, if someone tells you it's anti-God or whatever, tell them the thoery was created by a Catholic scientist. True fact.) I hoped this helped!!! (You don't have the include who created the theory if this is for homework.)

If the pressure in a gas is doubled while its volume is held constant, by what factor do vrms change
Nat2105 [25]

Answer is given below

Explanation:

given data

pressure = double

volume = constant

solution

As we know that an Average velocity and rms velocity is directly proportional to square root of PV ..................1

so if we take P is doubled while keeping V constant

than Velocity increases by a factor \sqrt{2}  

so that Factor = 1.414 for both the cases
