<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

= 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

= 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

Answer:

a. Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.

b. Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Acceleration = 0.500m/s²

a. To find the velocity of the boat after it has traveled 4.75 m

Since it started from rest, initial velocity is equal to 0m/s.

Now, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity.

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS$

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*0.500*4.75$

$V^{2} = 4.75$

Taking the square root, we have;

$V^{2} = \sqrt {4.75}$

<em>Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.</em>

b. To find the velocity if the boat has traveled 50 m.

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*0.500*50$

$V^{2} = 50$

Taking the square root, we have;

$V^{2} = \sqrt {50}$

<em>Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.</em>

An object increases its velocity from 22 m/s to 36 m/s in 5 s. What is the acceleration of the

gregori [183]

Explanation:

Using Kinematics,

we have a = (v - u) / t.

Therefore a = (36m/s - 22m/s) / 5s = 2.8m/s².

A heat engine exhausts 8900 j of heat while performing 2800 j of useful work. part a what is the efficiency of this engine?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Given: Heat Qout means useful work = 2800 J

Heat Qin = 8900 J

Required; Efficiency = ?

Formula: Efficiency = Qout/Qin = x 100%

= 2800 J/8900 J = 0.3146 X 100 %

Efficiency = 31.46%

What is the wavelength of a sound wave<br> with a speed of 331 m/s and a frequency<br> of 500 Hz?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

0.777m

Explanation:

The sound wave has a wavelength of 0.773m.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use the wave equation that is given below:

We know the frequency and the velocity, both of which have good units. All we have to do is rearrange the equation and solve for

λ :

λ = v f

Let's plug in our given values and see what we get!

λ = 340 m s

440 s − 1

λ = 0.773 m
