Suppose an object is moving 2.1 m/s north on a river, but the river is flowing to the east at a velocity of 1.2 m/s. What is the

magnitude of the resultant velocity?

Answer:

2.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of the object moving north = 2.1 m/s

Velocity of the river moving eastward = 1.2 m/s

The resultant velocity is the vector sum of the velocities of object and river.

Since the directions of velocity of object and river are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is obtained using Pythagoras Theorem.

The velocities are the legs of the right angled triangle and the resultant velocity is the hypotenuse.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity (R) is given as:

R^2=2.1^2+1.2^2\\\\R^2=4.41+1.44\\\\R=\sqrt{5.85}\\\\R=2.4\ m/s

Therefore, the resultant velocity has a magnitude of 2.4 m/s.

Resistors Working Together.

Resistors are shown coupled in parallel to a voltage source in Figure 10.3.4. When all of the resistors' ends are connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance and their other ends are also connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance, the resistors are said to be in parallel. There is a constant potential drop across all resistors. Ohm's law, I=V/R, can be used to determine the current flowing through each resistor while the voltage is constant across each resistor. For instance, the headlights, radio, and other components of an automobile are linked in parallel so that each subsystem can use the entire voltage of the source and function independently. The wiring in your home or any other structure shares the same

The original circuit is shown in part a with two parallel resistors linked to a voltage source, and the equivalent circuit is shown in part b with one equivalent resistor connected to the voltage source.

Desde el balcón de un edificio se deja caer una manzana y llega a la planta baja en 5 s. ¿Desde qué piso se dejó caer, si cada p
miv72 [106K]

Answer: 42

Explanation:

I will answer this in English.

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H  

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)

A circuit has a 10 Ω resistor connected to a 1.5 V dry cell. What is the current that can flow in the circuit?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Here is the highly detailed, arcane, complex, technical form of Ohm's Law that is needed in order to answer this question  ===>  I = V / R  .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (1.5 V) / (10 Ω)

<em>Current = 0.15 Ampere</em>

Can someone help me please? I’ve been trying to solve these questions all day.
qwelly [4]

#16

If we put a resistor in circuit it will slow the speed of current

Let's check ohms law

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V}{I}=R

  • So if resistance is more current is less

#17

Again use ohms law

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V=IR

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V\propto I

Choose the answer choice that BEST completes the following sentence. About four million tons of __________________ are converted
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

<em>About four million tons of </em><em><u>matter</u></em><em> are converted to energy in the Sun’s core every second</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Sun </u>

It's estimated that The Sun fuses near 600 million tons (6.10^9\ kg) of hydrogen into helium every second. As a result, 4 million tons of matter are converted to energy every second according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2
