Answer

3

<em><u>Left resistance </u></em>

These three resistances are in Parallel. Their fractions are added.

  • 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/12 = 1/R_left           Make everything out of 12s
  • 3/12 + 2/12 + 1/12 = 1/R_left      Add  
  • 6/12 = 1/R_left                           Reduce
  • 1/2 = 1/R_left                             Cross Multiply
  • 1*R_left = 2                                Simplify
  • R_left = 2                                  Answer for left

<em><u>Right Resistance</u></em>

  • 1/2 + 1/2 = 1/R_right                 Add reciprocals
  • 2/2 = 1/R_right                        Simplify  
  • 1 = 1/R_right                             Multiply both sides by R_right
  • R_right = 1

Answer

R_left + R_right = 2 + 1 = 3

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
