"We buy gallons of gas, but liters of soda. We drive for miles but run the 400-meter dash. Discuss how or why this is true in ou

r country."
I know that we buy gallons of gas but liters of soda because our vehicles need more gas than our bodies "need" soda, but I need help with the second part. :)

Thank you

We drive for miles because the car is a machine with very small limitations and it takes in more substance that helps them go farther than us. We run the 400-meter dash because we didn't take in as much substance for us to have the energy and also we have more limitations than a car. 

I hope that helps!

The total resistance in a circuit with two parallel resistors is 2 ohms and R1 is 6 ohms. Using the equation for R2, in terms of
ivanzaharov [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

R_2  is 3 ohms

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In a circuit containing two resistors R_1 and R_2 connected together in parallel, the total resistance R_T is given by;

\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1}  + \frac{1}{R_2}              ---------(i)

<em>Make </em>R_2<em> subject of the formula;</em>

=> \frac{1}{R_2} = \frac{1}{R_T}  - \frac{1}{R_1}  

=> \frac{1}{R_2} = \frac{R_1 - R_T}{R_TR_1}

=>   {R_2} = \frac{R_TR_1}{R_1 - R_T}       ---------------(ii)

From the question,

R_1 = 6Ω

R_T = 2Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

=> {R_2} = \frac{2*6}{6 - 2}

{R_2} = \frac{12}{4}

R_2 = 3Ω

Therefore, the value of R_2 = 3 ohms or R_2 = 3Ω
