With 0.45 amp flowing through an 18-ohm resistor, the voltage across it is

       V  =  I R  =  (0.45) x (18)  =  <em>8.1 volts .</em>

"But I asked for the battery voltage!  That's the voltage across the resistor."

The ends of the resistor are connected directly to the battery terminals.
They're the same voltage.

"But what about the 6-ohm resistor ?  Where does that figure in ?"

In parallel, it doesn't.  It's also connected directly across the battery,
and it has its own current. 

In parallel, neither resistor knows or cares whether or not there are
any other resistors present.  In parallel, it makes no dif.

Solve these problems on charges by finding out Q1 and Q2. Q1Q2= 4x10^6, Q1 + Q2 =8.00×10^-6​
inna [77]

Answer:

Answer:

Q_1 = 7Q

1

=7

Q_2 = 10Q

2

=10

Q_3 = 13.5Q

3

=13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5, 7, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17.

Required

Determine Q1, Q2 and Q3

The number of data is 9

Calculating Q1:

Q1 is calculated as:

Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(N + 1)Q

1

=

4

1

(N+1)

Substitute 9 for N

Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}(9 + 1)Q

1

=

4

1

(9+1)

Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*10Q

1

=

4

1

∗10

Q_1 = 2.5th\ itemQ

1

=2.5th item

This means that the Q1 is the mean of the 2nd and 3rd data.

So:

Q_1 = \frac{1}{2}(7+7)Q

1

=

2

1

(7+7)

Q_1 = \frac{1}{2}*14Q

1

=

2

1

∗14

Q_1 = 7Q

1

=7

Calculating Q2:

Q2 is calculated as:

Q_2 = \frac{1}{2}(N + 1)Q

2

=

2

1

(N+1)

Substitute 9 for N

Q_2 = \frac{1}{2}(9 + 1)Q

2

=

2

1

(9+1)

Q_2 = \frac{1}{2}*10Q

2

=

2

1

∗10

Q_2 = 5th\ itemQ

2

=5th item

Q_2 = 10Q

2

=10

Calculating Q3:

Q3 is calculated as:

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(N + 1)Q

3

=

4

3

(N+1)

Substitute 9 for N

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)Q

3

=

4

3

(9+1)

Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*10Q

3

=

4

3

∗10

Q_3 = 7.5th\ itemQ

3

=7.5th item

This means that the Q3 is the mean of the 7th and 8th data.

So:

Q_3 = \frac{1}{2}(12+15)Q

3

=

2

1

(12+15)

Q_3 = \frac{1}{2}*27Q

3

=

2

∗27

Q_3 = 13.5Q

!!Help!!
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

s = 37.81 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of an apple, m = 1.5 kg

The apple falls for 2.75s before striking the ground.

We need to find how far the apple dropped before hitting the ground. It means we need to find the distance covered. Using the second equation of motion to find it :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

u is initial velocity, u = 0 (at rest)

s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times (2.75)^2\\\\=37.81\ m

So, Apple dropped 37.81 m before hitting the ground.

What is Otter's average velocity over his entire trip when it takes him 2 minutes to walk 100 meters north and another 1 minute
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

Marysya12 [62]
We know, F = k * q₁ * q₂ / r²

Substitute the known values, 
F = 9 * 10⁹ * 5 * 7 / (1.2)²

F = 315 * 10⁹ / 1.44

F = 218.75 * 10⁹ N

F = 2.1875 * 10¹¹ N   [ Final Answer ]

Hope this helps!
