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

An elevator cab has a mass of 4710 kg and can carry a maximum load of 1910 kg. If the cab is moving upward at full load at 3.80
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Power P=246.78 KW

Explanation:

Mass of Elevator=4710 Kg

Can carry load =1910 Kg

Total Mass m to be lifted =4710 kg + 1910 Kg =6620 kg

speed = 3.80 m/s ⇒ per second distance traveled (height h) = 3.80 m  and    time t = 1 s

Using formula of Power P = \frac{work}{time}

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

P= 6620kg × 9.81 m/s² × 3.80 m / 1s

P= 246780.36 W

P=246.78 KW

What is the magnification of a virtual image if the image is 10.0 cm from a lens and the object is 30 cm from the lens
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The magnification of a virtual image is -0.33

Explanation:

We can calculate the magnification as the ratio of height of the image to the height of the object. It can be also stated as the ratio of size of the image obtained to the original size of the object. Also this ratio can be equated to the ratio of image distance to object distance. So magnification can be termed as ratio of image distance to object distance. As in the present case, the image distance or the distance of the formation of image from the lens is 10 cm and the distance of object from the lens or the object distance is 30 cm. Then, Magnification =-\frac{Image distance}{Object distance}=-\frac{10}{30}=-0.33.

So, the image will be diminished to 0.33 times the original size as the magnification of the virtual image is obtained as -0.33.

why do you think we have different seasons (fall, summer, winter, spring) in certain areas of the world?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

how the areas are at

Explanation:

The tilt of the Earth's AXIS is the most important reason why seasons occur... The area depends why there's  a certain differnt season on differnt areas , its because one area is closet to the sun which mostky they get summer full time (like a normal year), but  Alaska,it just winter , the reason why Alaska is just cold because its not close to the sun.
