Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

Answer:

The ratio of electric current in series and in parallel connection is 0.0625

Explanation:

Here we have for the series resistors

∑R_s = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄ = 8 Ω

The current is gotten from

V = IR

I_s = V/R_s = V/8 Ω

For the parallel connected resistors we have

\frac{1}{\Sigma R_p} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+\frac{1}{R_4}

Which gives

\frac{1}{\Sigma R_p} = \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

Therefore,

\Sigma R_p = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\hspace{0.09cm} \Omega

From which,

I_p=\frac{V}{R_p} = V/0.5 Ω

The ratio between the series and parallel connection electric current  is therefore,

\frac{I_s}{I_p} = \frac{\frac{V}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} }{\frac{V}{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} }  = \frac{V}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} \times \frac{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}{V}  = \frac{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}  = 0.0625.

What are the comparisons and contrast of adaptation and natural selection? ASAP!!!!!!
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution.

Explanation:

Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.

a car accelerates from rest at 3.6m/s^2. how much time does it need to attain a speed of 7 m/s? awnser in units of s.
Ivahew [28]
Initial velocity: 0
final velocity: 7 m/s
a = 3.6
t = ?
x = ?

(7-0)/3.6 = t

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

|D_{depth} |=19.697m

Explanation:

To find Depth D of lake we must need to find the time taken to hit the water.So we use equation of simple motion as:

Δx=vit+(1/2)at²

x_{f}-x_{i}=v_{i}t+(1/2)at^{2}\\  -5.0m=(o)t+(1/2)(-9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}\\ -4.9t^{2}=-5.0\\ t^{2}=5/4.9\\t=\sqrt{1.02} \\t=1.01s

As we have find the time taken now we need to find the final velocity vf from below equation as

v_{f}=v_{i}+at\\v_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2} )(1.01s) \\v_{f}=-9.898m/s

So the depth of lake is given by:

first we need to find total time as

t=3.0-1.01 =1.99 s

|D_{depth} |=|vt|\\|D_{depth} |=|(-9.898m/s)(1.99s)|\\|D_{depth} |=19.697m
