Two resistors with a resistance of 10 ohms each are connected in parallel. what is the resistance of the combination?

1 answer:

4 0

From the ohms law resistance is given by dividing the amount of current by the potential difference (voltage). In a circuit resistors may be arranged in series or parallel which determines the total effective resistance of the circuit depending on the arrangement used.
When resistance are in parallel we apply the formula 1/Rt=1/R1 +1/R2 where Rt is the total resistance, R1 resistance of the first resistor and R2 the resistance of the second resistor.
therefore, 1/Rt = 1/10 +1/10 =2/20 which when simplified is 1/10, therefore 1/Rt is 1/10, to get Rt we do the reciprocal to get 10 ohms.
Therefore the effective resistance of the combined resistors in parallel is 10 ohms

5. Find the volume of the composite space figure to the nearest whole number.

Dmitry [639]

The shape is missing but let's consider it a semi-cylinder attached to the rectangular prism.
Given:
radius = 4.5 mm
<span>Height = 11 mm </span>

<span>Volume of cylinder = (1/2)(pi)(4.5)^2(11) (the shape is divided into half)
V = 349.89 mm cubed
Volume of prism = L x W x H
= 9 x 11 x 6
= 594 mm cubed
Total volume of the composite shape = 111.375 + 594
= 943.89 mm cubed
Rounded answer = 944 mm cubed.</span>

Huck Finn walks at a speed of 0.70 m/s across his raft (that is, he walks perpendicular to the raft’s motion relative to the sho

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer

given,

Hunk Finn speed,v_y= 0.7 m/s

Speed of river,v_x = 1.50 m/s

Assuming the speed of the river is in x-direction.

Speed of Hunk Finn to be in y-direction.

Hunk velocity relative to river =

$x = \sqrt{v_y^2+v_x^2}$

$x = \sqrt{2.74}$

$x =1.66\ m/s$

Speed of Hunk relative to river = 1.66 m/s

direction of the boat

$\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{0.7}{1.50})$

$\theta = 25.01^{\circ}$

Hence, angle of the raft is 24.01°

Answer:

The impulse exerted by the ball is 7.2 kg.m/s

The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 600 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the baseball, m = 0.144 kg

velocity of the baseball, v₁ = 20 m/s

velocity of the batter, v₂ = -30 m/s (opposite direction to the ball's speed)

The impulse exerted by the ball is calculated as follows;

J = ΔP = mv₁ - mv₂

ΔP = m(v₁ - v₂)

ΔP = 0.144 [20 - (-30)]

ΔP = 0.144 ( 20 + 30 )

ΔP = 0.144 (50)

ΔP = 7.2 kg.m/s

The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is calculated as;

$F = \frac{\Delta P }{t} \\\\where; t \ is \ time \ of \ contact= 0.012 \ s\\\\F = \frac{7.2}{0.012} \\\\F = 600 \ N$

The bogus pipeline is an instrument that was developed to measure attitudes that are otherwise difficult to measure because ____

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

of motivations to give a socially desirable response

Explanation:

The bogus pipeline is nothing but a polygraph machine which is fake.

With the help of a polygraph test it can be determined whether a person is telling the truth. This is done by measuring physiological indicators of a human being such as blood pressure, respiration, pulse, and skin conductivity.

The bogus pipeline appears to be like a real polygraph machine. It is assumed that people will be truthful as they believe that the machine is real. Nowadays, it is used to measure attitude towards a certain stimulus.

The speed of sound at sea level is normally about 340 m/s. A stationary fire alarm has a frequency of 15,000 Hz. An observer run

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The velocity of the observer is 6.8 m/s

Explanation:

Doppler effect equation is given by the formula:

$f'=\frac{v+v_o}{v-v_s} f\\\\where\ f'\ is \ the\ observed \ frequency=15300\ Hz,v_o\ is\ the\ velocity\ of\ the\ observer,\\v_s\ is\ the\ velocity\ of \ source=0,v\ is\ the\ velocity\ of\ sound=340\ m/s\ and\ f\ is\ actual\\frequency=15000\ Hz.\\\\substituting:\\\\15300=15000(\frac{340+v_o}{340} )\\\\340+v_o=346.8\\\\v_o=6.8\ m/s$ The velocity of the observer is 6.8 m/s
