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 5.0 kg box slides down a 4.0 m long ramp that makes a 25 angle with the ground. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65
Sedaia [141]

The thermal energy was produced is 116J

<h3>What is the thermal energy produced?</h3>

Now we know that the frictional force produces the energy that is lost as heat as the body slides down the incline. The magnitude of the frictional force is obtained from;

Ff= μmgcosθ

Ff =  0.65 *  5.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 25

Ff = 29 N

Hence, the thermal energy is;

29 N * 4.0 m = 116J
