These resistors are in series.
Think of it of where the electrons can travel in the system. If there are multiple options for where they can travel then it is parallel, if there are no split paths (only one option) then it is series.

An example of a combination of resistors in parallel: The image you have above, but replace R2 with a wire that continues to the right to a battery. Then resistors R1 and R3 are in parallel.

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

$\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\$

Remember that

$v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t= (5\sqrt{2} ) ln \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2} + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2$

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s

A point charge q1 = 3.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 10 m.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 1.6 mN b) -1.6 mN c) -1.6 mN d) 1.6 mN

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between 2 point charges, obeys the Coulomb's Law, that can be expressed as follows:

F₁₂ = k*q₁*q₂/(r₁₂)² (in magnitude)

The direction of the force, is along the line that joins the charges (along the x axis) and as q₁ and q₂ are of the same sign, aims away from both charges.

a) So, for the force on q₂, we have:

F₁₂ = 9*18*10⁻⁵ N = 1.6 mN (positive as it is aiming in the positive x direction)

b) The force on q1, according to Newton's 3rd Law, is just equal and opposite to the one on q2:

F₂₁ = (-9*18*10⁻⁵) N = -1.6 mN (towards the negative x direction, away from q1)

c) If q₂ were -6.0 μC, the force will be the same in magnitude, but as now both charges have different signs, they wil attract each other, so the direction of the forces will be exactly the opposite to the first case:

F₁₂ = -1.6 mN (going towards the origin, where q₁ is located)

F₂₁ = 1.6 mN (going in the positive x direction, towards q₂)

A typical ceiling fan running at high speed has an airflow of about 1.85 ✕ 103 ft3/min, meaning that about 1.85 ✕ 103 cubic feet

densk [106]

Answer:

0.8726 $m^3/s$

Explanation:

We are to convert 1.85 x $10^3$ $ft^3/min$ to $m^3/s$

First, let us convert the numerator from ft3 to m3

1 ft3 = 0.0283 m3

Hence,

1.85 x $10^3$ ft3 = 1.85 x $10^3$ x 0.0283 m3

= 52.355 m3

Now, let us convert the denominator from minutes to seconds

1 min = 60 sec

Therefore;

1.85 x $10^3$ $ft^3/min$ = 52.355/60 $m^3/s$

= 0.8726 $m^3/s$

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec
