In this circuit the resistance R1 is 7 Ω and R2 is 3 Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resisto

r with an equivalent resistance, what should that resistance be? Give your answer in units of Ohms (LaTeX: \OmegaΩ).

Answer:

Series combination:

Equivalent resistance =10Ω

Parallel combination:

Equivalent resistance =\frac{21}{10} \Omega

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is the ratio of voltage to the current.

R=\frac{V}{I}

R = resistance

I = current

V= potential difference(voltage)

There are two types of resistance combinations.

  1. series combination
  2. parallel combination.

Series combination: If the ending point of one resistance is connected to the starting point of other resistance that combination is known as series combination.

If R₁,R₂ and R₃  are connected in series combination.

Then equivalent resistance = R₁+R₂+R₃

Parallel combination: If the ending point and the starting point of the all resistance are the same points that combination is known as parallel combination.

If R₁,R₂ and R₃  are connected in parallel combination.

Then equivalent resistance  \frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

Here R₁=7Ω and     R₂=3Ω

If R₁ and R₂  connected in series combination

Then equivalent resistance = (7+3) Ω

                                            =10Ω

If R₁ and R₂  connected in parallel combination

Then equivalent resistance =\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{7} +\frac{1}{3})} \Omega

                                              =\frac{21}{10} \Omega

A tennis ball is dropped from a roof. If it takes 38.9 seconds to reach the ground, how fast is the ball moving just before it h
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time taken to reach the ground, t = 38.9 s

The height of fall is given by;

h = ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂(9.8)(38.9)²

h = 7414.73 m

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is given as;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

u is the initial velocity of the on the root = 0

v is the final velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 7414.73 )

v = 381.2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Elenna [48]
Thank you for posting your Physics question here. I hope the answer helps.  Upon calculating the ramp with the horizontal the answer is 20.49 Deg. Below is the solution:

Y = 7 m. 
<span>r = 20 m. </span>

<span>sinA = Y/r = 7/20 = 0.35. </span>
<span>A = 20.49 Deg.</span>
