Are these combination of resistors in series or parallel?

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.

Answer:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\ {v}^{2}_i = {v}^{2} _x + {v}^{2} _y \\ = {(6)}^{2} + {( - 2)}^{2} = 36 + 4 = 40m. {s}^{ - 1} \\ K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} (3) (40) = 60J \\ \\ {v}^{2}_f = {v}^{2} _x + {v}^{2} _y \\ = {(8)}^{2} + {(4)}^{2} = 80m. {s}^{ - 1} \\ K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} (3) (80) = 120J \\ W_{net}=K.E_f-K.E_i \\ = 120J - 60J \\ = 60J$

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp

jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

$T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms$

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

$E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]$

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.

What happens if we nuke a city?

nignag [31]

The shadow would subsequently drop the temperature in the city, forcing warmer air to rush in and violently destroy countless buildings. There would also be “black rain,” which would be the radioactive ash and dust that would liquify and pour down on the city and we would all die.
