Answer:

b) the potential difference across each is the same.

Explanation:

When resistors are connected in parallel with each other

then the terminals of all the resistors will connected across the terminals of the battery

So we know the potential difference of the battery is same across all the resistors

So we can say that the equivalent resistance of all the resistance is

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}$

so its not the mean of all resistors

also we know that the resistance are all different so power across each resistance is different given as

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

also current in each resistance is also different and given by

$i = \frac{V}{R}$

so correct answer will be

b) the potential difference across each is the same.

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels

Crank

Answer:

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }$

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

$v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}$

And in the case of vertical $v_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

where $y_{tot}$ is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height $H$ with initial velocity $v_0$ is given by:

$y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2$

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when $y'(t)=0$ , and it is

$t=\frac{v_0}{g}$

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

$y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2$

$y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}$

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

$y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

$y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}$

$y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

$\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}$

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

$t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},$

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another $t_0$ to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

$t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0$

where $t_0$ is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

$H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2$

we solve for $t_0$ using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

$t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

Therefore the total time is

$t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

$\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}}$

Now the average velocity is

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }$

$\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }$

how does polar bear movement help scientists understand the impact of climate change on polar bear ?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The movement of polar bears help figure out the impact of global warming in the arctic. Since polar bears travel over the frozen ocean they are able to determine the rate it melts as the bears retreat inland. The worse global warming become the quicker it becomes hotter in the arctic which is bad by the way.
