a) $12 \Omega$

b) 0.5 A and 1 A

Explanation:

Find the diagram of the circuit in attachment. The two resistors are connected in series: this means that they are connected along the same branch, and therefore, the same current flows through them.

The total resistance of resistors in series is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

$R=R_1+R_2$

where in this case:

$R_1 = 4 \Omega$ is the resistance of the 1st resistor

$R_2=8\Omega$ is the resistance of the 2nd resistor

Substituting,

$R=4+8=12 \Omega$

In this part, we are considering that the battery has an EMF of

E = 6 V

and an internal resistance of

$r=1.33 \Omega$

So the potential difference provided by the battery is

$V=E-Ir$ (1)

where I is the current in the circuit.

Here, the other two resistors are connected in parallel to the battery; so their equivalent resistance is

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\\R=\frac{8}{3}=2.67 \Omega$

And since they are in parallel with the battery, according to Ohm's Law,

V = RI (2)

Combining (1) and (2) we find the value of the total current:

$IR=E-Ir\\I(R+r)=E\\I=\frac{E}{r}=\frac{6}{2.67+1.33}=1.5 A$

Now we know that the voltage drop across each resistor is

$V=E-Ir=6-(1.5)(1.33)=4 V$

So we can apply Ohm's law to each resistor to find the current through each of them:

$I_1 = \frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{4}{4}=1 A\\I_2 = \frac{V}{R_2}=\frac{4}{8}=0.5 A$

A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s alo

Serggg [28]

Before the engines fail $(0\le t\le3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are

$x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t^2$

$y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t^2$

and its velocity vector has components

$v_x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t$

$v_y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t$

After $t=3.00\,\rm s$ , its position is

$x=273\,\rm m$

$y=362\,\rm m$

and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

After the engine failure $(t>3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by

$x=273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t$

$y=362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

and its velocity vector's components are

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

where we take $g=9.80\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which $v_y=0$ :

$159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt=0\implies t=16.2\,\rm s$

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(16.2\,\rm s)-\dfrac g2(16.2\,\rm s)^2=1650\,\rm m$

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve $y=0$ for $t$ , then add 3 seconds to this time:

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=34.6\,\rm s$

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of $37.6\,\rm s$ .

c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute $x$ for this time $t$ :

$273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(34.6\,\rm s)=4410\,\rm m$

Two cars cover the same distance in a straight line. Car A covers the distance at a constant velocity. Car B starts from rest an

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

a) 2.43 m/s

b) 4.83 m/s

c) 0.023 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Both cars cover a distance of 510 m in 210 s. Since car A has no acceleration

Speed = Distance / Time

$\text{Speed}=\frac{510}{210}=2.43\ m/s$

Velocity of car A is 2.43 m/s

t = Time taken = 210 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 510 m

a = Acceleration

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 510=0\times 210+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 210^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{510\times 2}{210^2}\\\Rightarrow a=0.023\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of car B is 0.023 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.023\times 210\\\Rightarrow v=4.83\ m/s$

Final velocity of car B is 4.83 m/s
