A block with a weight of 9.0 N is at rest on a horizontal surface. A 1.2 N upward force is applied to the block by means of an a

ttached vertical string. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the force of the block on the horizontal surface

Answer:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

Explanation:

A 9N block would exert 9N of normal force on the horizontal plane under normal conditions. But in this case, we have a spring taking away some of the force by applying an upward force on the box.

So the force exerted by the box on the surface would now be:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

The total resistance of the circuit <br>​
ZanzabumX [31]

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances. Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor.

If you know the total current and the voltage across the whole circuit, you can find the total resistance using Ohm's Law: R = V / I. For example, a parallel circuit has a voltage of 9 volts and total current of 3 amps. The total resistance RT = 9 volts / 3 amps = 3 Ω

Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.

Do houses use parallels or series circuits
Vilka [71]

Every electrical outlet in your house, and every device or appliance that's
plugged into an outlet, are all in parallel.  It's also most likely that all of yours
are in parallel with all the outlets, devices, and appliances in the homes or
apartments of a few of your neighbors.

The only things in your home that are connected in series are the switches
that turn things on and off.

A racecar was going 60 m/s when it quickly came to a full stop at a pitstop in 8.0 sec. What was the acceleration of the dragste
dezoksy [38]
You start by writing down your parameters;
u=60m/s
v=0
t=8s
So acceleration(a)=v-u/t
=0-60/8
=-60/8
=-7.5m/s
To the nearest hundredth will be
-7.5*100
=-750m/s
