Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are

connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is. Part A Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

r=0.127

Explanation:

When  connected in series

Current = I

When connected in parallel

Current = 10 I

We know that equivalent resistance

In series  R = R₁+R₂

in parallel  R= R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)

Given that voltage is constant (Vo)

V = I R

Vo = I (R₁+R₂)  ------------1

Vo = 10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) -------2

From above equations

10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) = I (R₁+R₂)  

10  R₁R₂ =  (R₁+R₂) (R₂+ R₁)

10  R₁R₂  = 2  R₁R₂  + R₁² + R₂²

8 R₁R₂  =     R₁² + R₂²

Given that

r =  R₁/R₂

Divides by R₂²

8R₁/R₂  = ( R₁/R₂)²+ 1

8 r = r ² + 1

r ² - 8 r+ 1 =0  

r= 0.127 and r= 7.87

But given that R₂>R₁  It means that r<1 only.

So the answer is r=0.127

What is the primary cause of diffusion?
Lostsunrise [7]
<span><u>Answer</u>
c). random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

<u>Explanation </u>
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration. The rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing amount of temperature but this is not its primary cause. Diffusion is primarily caused by movement of molecules or atoms in a substances. Form the choices given, the correct answer is c. random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

if the time is taken to bring a ball to rest from a certain velocity 'v'. is reduced to half, what will be the change in the val
777dan777 [17]

The answer is C) rate of change of momentum. The answer is not initial or final momentum as the start and end points are not changing. On the other hand, the time it takes for the ball to change velocity is. This change relates to the change of momentum. Hope this helped :))

On heating from low temperature at 1 atm of pressure which substance is most likely to sublime rather than melt?
cluponka [151]
Since the choices are not given, I can't give an exact answer. Sublimation is the physical change occurring from solid to gas. This is very rare because the molecular arrangement of a solid and gas are opposite to each other. Thus, it depends on the properties of the substance. For example, napthalene could sublime at room temperature.
