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.

5. A man has a weight of 100 Newtons. How much work is done if he climbs 4 meters up a ladder? Plug numbers under the equation.
Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2>400 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 100 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>400 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

The graph represents the force applied on an 3.00kg crate while it moved 5.0m. A. How much total work is done on the crate? B. I
jeka57 [31]

a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.

first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15

second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20

total work done: 35 J

b. the force was first applied = 6 N

F = m.a

a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²

vf²=vi²+2as

vf²=6²+2.2.5

vf²=56

vf=7.5 m/s

A small boat sailed straight north out of a harbor in strong east wind (blowing from west to east). After sailing for 120 minute
Amiraneli [1.4K]

it can be said that  the speed of the east wind is

v=0.3608m/s

From the question we are told

A small boat sailed <u>straight </u>north out of a harbor in <em>strong </em>east wind (blowing from west to east).

After sailing for 120 minutes, it ended up hitting a buoy 60^\circ60 ∘ to the north-east of the harbor. If the straight-line distance between the buoy and the harbor is 3 km,

  • what is the speed of the east wind?.

<h3> the speed of the east wind</h3>

Generally the equation for the distance  is mathematically given as

BA=3000sin60

BA=2598.07m

Therefore

the speed of the east wind

V_w=\frac{BA}{120*60}\\\\V_w=\frac{2598.07}{120*60}

v=0.3608

If 90 grams of gold has a volume of 5 cm3, calculate the density (include the units and show your work or you get no credit
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The density of gold is of 18 grams per cm3.

Explanation:

The mass density of a homogeneous material expresses how much mass of that material is present in a given volume. Since the density of an object is obtained by dividing its mass by its volume, to obtain the density of gold, its 90 grams of mass must be divided by its 5 cm3 volume, performing the following calculation:

90/5 = X

18 = X

Thus, the density of gold is 18 grams per cm3.
