Every single thing in your home that's plugged into a wall outlet or works with a switch on the wall . . . every lamp, ceiling light, room fan, computer, microwave, stove, hair dryer, coffee pot, toaster, slow cooker, TV, home entertainment system, printer, wifi router, cordless phone, phone charger, and clock radio ...  they're ALL in parallel.

<u>And</u> chances are that everything in your house is also in parallel with everything in the houses of a few of your neighbors on each side of you.

THAT's how parallel circuits are used in residential areas.

a sprinter with a mass of 80kg accelerates uniformly from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. a.)what is the runners acceleration? b.) what i
Katyanochek1 [597]
Part A: 
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
             a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time

Substituting,
            a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>

Part B: 
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
               F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and 
a is acceleration

Substituting,
              F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N

<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>

Part C: 
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
         d = V₀t + 0.5at²

Substituting,
            d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
             d = 13.5 m

<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>
