Answer:

C) 9 Ohms

Explanation:

Initially, the voltage in the circuit is V = 9 V and the current is I = 3.6 A, with three resistors connected in parallel. We can calculate the initial equivalent resistance of the circuit by using Ohm's law:

R_T = \frac{V}{I}=\frac{9 V}{3.6 A}=2.5 \Omega

Now Sally wants to add another resistor in parallel to increase the total current to I = 4.6 A. Since the new resistor is added in parallel, the new equivalent resistance will be:

\frac{1}{R_T'}=\frac{1}{R_T}+\frac{1}{R_{new}} (1)

where R_{new} is the new resistor that should be added.

Again, we can calculate the new equivalent resistance by using Ohm's law:

R_T' = \frac{V}{I}=\frac{9 V}{4.6 A}=1.96 \Omega

And substituting this value into eq.(1), we find the value of R_{new}:

\frac{1}{R_{new}}=\frac{1}{R_T'}-\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{1.96 \Omega}-\frac{1}{2.5 \Omega}=0.110 \Omega^{-1}\\R_{new}=\frac{1}{0.110}=9 \Omega

Question 2 (10 points)

The force required to slow the truck was -5020 N

Explanation:

First of all, we find the acceleration of the truck, which is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the truck in this problem,

v = 11.5 m/s

u = 21.9 m/s

t = 2.88 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{11.5-21.9}{2.88}=-3.6 m/s^2

where the negative sign means that this is a deceleration.

Now we can find the force exerted on the truck, which is given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 1390 kg is the mass of the truck

a=-3.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration

And substituting,

F=(1390)(-3.6)=-5004 N

So the closest answer among the option is -5020 N.

Before the student releases the cart by cutting the tinsel string, what forces are acting on the cart?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: TENSION and WEIGHT

Explanation:

Force experienced by the spring is called TENSION while the WEIGHT is the gravitational pull on the body towards the earth surface. Therefore the forces acting on the cart are TENSION and WEIGHT(weight acts downwards (along negative y-axis) while the TENSION upward(along positive y-axis).
