I SERIOUSLY can't do this type of questions so can someone solve it detailedly and putting with letters (there is a system you n

ame conducting wires as A, B etc. I don't know what that system calls in physics)
Find the equivalent resistance with details

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation

(This is seriously not as hard as it looks :)

You only need two types of calculations:

  1. replace two resistances, say, R1 and R2, connected in a series by a single one R. In this case the new R is a sum of the two: R = R_1+R_2
  2. replace two resistances that are connected in parallel. In that case: \frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\mbox{or}\\R= \frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1+R_2}

I am attaching a drawing showing the process of stepwise replacement of two resistances at a time (am using rectangles to represent a resistance). The left-most image shows the starting point, just a little bit "warped" to see it better. The two resistances (6 Ohm next to each other) are in parallel and are replaced by a single resistance (3 Ohm, see formula above) in the top middle image. Next, the two resistances (9 and 3 Ohm) are nicely in series, so they can be replaced by their sum, which is what happened going to the top right image. Finally we have two resistances in parallel and they can be replaced by a single, final, resistance as shown in the bottom right image. That (4 Ohms) is the <em>equivalent resistance</em> of the original circuit.

Using these two transformations you will be able to solve step by step any  problem like this, no matter how complex.

a solid sphere and a hollow sphere with equal mass are rotated about an axis through their centers. both spheres experience equa
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Solid sphere

Explanation:

The solid sphere will have a lower moment of inertia as it carries more mass closer to the axis of rotation.

A lower moment of inertia results in a higher angular acceleration under a given torque.

α = τ/I

1. Your new designer chair has an S-shaped tubular metal frame that behaves just like a spring. When your friend, who weighs 600
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the friend, W = 600 N

When the friend sits on the metal frame it bends downward 4 cm, we can say that the compression in the it is 4 cm or 0.04 m

To find,

Spring constant for this chair or k

Solve :

The weight of an object is equal to the force exerted by the gravitational force, F = 600 N

According to Hooke's law, the force exerted by the spring is given by :

F = kx

k is the spring constant

k=\dfrac{F}{x}

k=\dfrac{600\ N}{0.04\ m}

k = 15000 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 15000 N/m.

A car and a truck are moving next to each other on the highway. The truck has a mass of 910 kg and the car’s mass is 227 kg. IF
eimsori [14]

Answer:

<h2>the car must move with the speed</h2><h2>v = 72.16 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that the momentum of the car and truck is same

so as per the formula of momentum we have

P = mv

so we have

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

so we will have

910 \times 18 = 227 v

v = 72.16 m/s

So the car must move with the speed

v = 72.16 m/s

A 5.0 Ω resistor is hooked up in series with a 10.0 Ω resistor followed by a 20.0 Ω resistor. The circuit is powered by a 9.0 V
yan [13]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) Attached to the response as Figure 1.

(b) 35.0Ω

(c) Across 5.0Ω = 1.3V

   Across 10.0Ω = 2.6Ω

   Across 20.0Ω = 5.2Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The labelled circuit using the correct symbols (for the resistors and battery) has been attached to this response.

(b) Since the resistors are hooked up in series, their equivalent resistance R, is found by adding the individual resistances of the resistors (R₁, R₂ and R₃). i.e

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃               -------------------(i)

Where;

R₁ = 5.0 Ω

R₂ = 10.0 Ω

R₃ = 20.0 Ω

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

∴ R = 5.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω + 20.0 Ω

∴ R = 35.0 Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is ∴ R = 35.0Ω

(c) When resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them. To get the current through each resistor;

i. First, replace the resistors by their equivalent resistor as calculated above. The diagram has been attached to this response.

ii. As seen in the diagram, the current flowing through the equivalent resistor can be calculated using Ohm's law as follows;

V = I R              ------------------(ii)

Where;

V = Voltage supplied to the circuit = 9.0V

I = Current through the circuit

R = Resistance of the equivalent resistor = 35.0Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii)

9.0 = I x 35.0

I = \frac{9.0}{35.0}

I = 0.26A

This is also the current flowing through each of the resistors separately.

iii. Calculate the voltage drop across

1.<em> 5.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 5.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 5.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 5.0Ω resistor = 5.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 5.0

=> V = 1.3V

2.<em> 10.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 10.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 10.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 10.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 10.0

=> V = 2.6V

3.<em> 20.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 20.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 20.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 20.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 20.0

=> V = 5.2V
