Answer:

2000 nickels

Explanation:

One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.

The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.

To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.

In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.

A -> B

C -> D

Calculation

1 nickel --> 5 g

X? nickel --> 10000g

X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g

X = 2000 nickels

two resistors of 20 ohm each are connected in a parallel with a battery of 10V. The total current passing through circuit is

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

1 Ampere.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall determine the equivalent resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

R = (20 × 20) / (20 + 20)

R = 400 / 40

R = 10 ohm

Finally, we shall determine the total current in the circuit. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Equivalent Resistance (R) = 10 ohm

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 10

Divide both side by 10

I = 10 / 10

I = 1 Ampere

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 1 Ampere.

A 6.75 nC charge is located 1.99 m from a 4.46 nC point charge.

sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=6.75\ nC=6.75 \times 10^{-9}\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=4.46\ nC=4.46\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The distance between charges, r = 1.99 m

To find,

The electrostatic force and its nature

Solution,

(a) The electric force between two charges is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 6.75\times 10^{-9}\times 4.46\times 10^{-9}}{(1.99)^2}$

$F=6.84\times 10^{-8}\ N$

(b) As the magnitude of both charges is positive, then the force between charges will be repulsive.

Therefore, this is the required solution.
