Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in se

ries to a 12.0-V battery, the current from the battery is 2.00 A. When the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery, the total current from the battery is 10.2 A. Determine the two resistances.

Answer:

1.61ohms and 4.39ohms

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which States that the current (I) passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) across its ends. Mathematically, E = IRt where;

E is the electromotive force

I is the current

Rt is the effective resistance

Let the resistances be R and r

When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.0-V battery and the current from the battery is 2.00 A, the equation becomes;

12 = 2(R+r)

Rt = R+r (connection in series)

6 = R+r ...(1)

If the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery and the total current from the battery is 10.2 A, the equation will become;

12 = 10.2(1/R+1/r)

Since 1/Rt = 1/R+1/r (parallel connection)

Rt = R×r/R+r

12 = 10.2(Rr/R+r)

12(R+r) = 10.2Rr ... (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get the resistances. From (1), R = 6-r...(3)

Substituting equation 3 into 2 we have;

12{(6-r)+r} = 10.2(6-r)r

12(6-r+r) = 10.2(6r-r²)

72 = 10.2(6r-r²)

36 = 5.1(6r-r²)

36 = 30.6r-5.1r²

5.1r²-30.6r +36 =

r = 30.6±√30.6²-4(5.1)(36)/2(5.1)

r = 30.6±√936.36-734.4/10.2

r = 30.6±√201.96/10.2

r = 30.6±14.2/10.2

r = 44.8/10.2 and r = 16.4/10.2

r = 4.39 and 1.61ohms

Since R+r = 6

R+1.61 = 6

R = 6-1.61

R = 4.39ohms

Therefore the resistances are 1.61ohms and 4.39ohms

Xplain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise and give 1 example of each?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The term "aerobic" refers to the body's ability to provide energy through the use of oxygen.  The term anaerobic refers to the body's ability to provide energy without the use of oxygen.

An example of an aerobic exercise is swimming. An example of an anaerobic exercise is sprinting.

Suppose a rocket ship accelerates upwards with acceleration equal in magnitude to twice the magnitude of g (we say that the rock
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) s_a=98100\ m is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

b) v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1} is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

c) H=294300\ m

d) t_T=544.95\ s

e) Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

acceleration of rocket, a=2g=2\times 9.81=19.62\ m.s^{-2}

time for which the rocket accelerates, t_a=100\ s

<u>For the course of upward acceleration:</u>

using eq. of motion,

s_a=ut+\frac{1}{2}at_a^2

where:

u= initial velocity of the rocket at the launch =0

s_a= height the rocket travels just before its fuel finishes off

so,

s_a=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 19.62\times 100^2

a) s_a=98100\ m is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

<u>Now the velocity of the rocket just after the fuel is finished:</u>

v_a=u+at_a

v_a=0+19.62\times 100

b) v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1} is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

After the fuel is finished the rocket starts to decelerates. So, we find the height of the rocket before it begins to fall back towards the earth.

Now the additional height the rocket ascends before it begins to fall back on the earth after the fuel is consumed completely, at this point its instantaneous velocity is zero:

using equation of motion,

v^2=v_a^2-2gh

where:

g= acceleration due to gravity

v= final velocity of the rocket at the top height

0^2=1962^2-2\times 9.81\times h

h=196200\ m

c) So the total height at which the rocket gets:

H=h+s

H=196200+98100

H=294300\ m

d)

Time taken by the rocket to reach the top height after the fuel is over:

v=v_a+g.t

0=1962-9.81t

t=200\ s

Now the time taken to fall from the total height:

H=v.t'+\frac{1}{2}\times gt'^2

294300=0+0.5\times 9.81\times t'^2

t'=244.95\ s

Hence the total time taken by the rocket to strike back on the earth:

t_T=t_a+t+t'

t_T=100+200+244.95

t_T=544.95\ s

e)

Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.
