Answer:

16.8ohms

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which states that the current passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.

Mathematically, V = IRt where;

V is the voltage across the circuit

I is the current

R is the effective resistance

For a series connected circuit, same current but different voltage flows through the resistors.

If the initial current in a circuit is 19.3A,

V = 19.3R... (1)

When additional resistance of 7.4-Ω is added and current drops to 13.4A, our voltage in the circuit becomes;

V = 13.4(7.4+R)... (2)

Note that the initial resistance is added to the additional resistance because they are connected in series.

Equating the two value of the voltages i.e equation 1 and 2 to get the resistance in the original circuit we will have;

19.3R = 13.4(7.4+R)

19.3R = 99.16+13.4R

19.3R-13.4R = 99.16

5.9R = 99.16

R= 99.16/5.9

R = 16.8ohms

The resistance in the original circuit will be 16.8ohms

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Which applied force will allow a 7.65 kg block of ice to begin sliding on a sheet of ice? The block of ice has a kinetic coeffic
Anni [7]

Answer:

force for start moving is 7.49 N

force for moving constant velocity 2.25 N

Explanation:

given data

mass = 7.65 kg

kinetic coefficient of friction = 0.030

static coefficient of friction = 0.10

solution

we get here first weight of block of ice that is

weight of block of ice = mass  ×  g

weight of block of ice = 7.65 × 9.8 = 74.97 N

so here Ff = Fa

so for force for start moving is

Fa = weight × static coefficient of friction  

Fa = 74.97 × 0.10

Fa =  7.49 N

and

force for moving constant velocity is

Fa =  weight × kinetic coefficient of friction

Fa = 74.97 × 0.030

Fa = 2.25 N

The density of gold is 19 300kg/m cube. what is the mass of gold cube with the length 0.2015m?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

157.9 kg

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body and it's volume.

The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.

From the question,

Density = Mass/volume

D = m/v............................ Equation 1

Where D = Density of gold, m = mass of gold, v = volume of gold.

make m the subject of the equation

m = Dv.................... Equation 2

Since the gold is a cube,

v = l³................... Equation 3

Where l = length of the gold cube.

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

m = Dl³............... Equation 4

Given: D = 19300 kg/m³, l = 0.2015 m

Substitute into equation 4

m = 19300(0.2015)³

m = 157.9 kg.
