<h2>Answer:</h2>

786Ω and 20.32Ω respectively.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) Given a number of resistors each with its own resistance, the largest resistance can be obtained when these resistors are connected in series.

From the question, the resistors have the following resistances;

36.0-Ω, 50.0-Ω , and 700-Ω

Now, when they are connected in series, the total resistance (R) obtainable is given by the sum of these individual resistances as follows;

R = 36.0-Ω + 50.0-Ω + 700-Ω

R = 786Ω

Therefore, the largest resistance that can be obtained by connecting  a 36.0-Ω , a 50.0-Ω , and a 700-Ω resistor together is 786Ω

(b) Similarly, given a number of resistors each with its own resistance, the smallest resistance can be obtained when these resistors are connected in parallel.

From the question, the resistors have the following resistances;

36.0-Ω, 50.0-Ω , and 700-Ω

Now, when they are connected in parallel, the total resistance (R) obtainable is given by using the relation as follows;

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{36.0} + \frac{1}{50.0} + \frac{1}{700.0}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{35000+25200+1800}{1260000}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{62000}{1260000}

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{62}{1260}

R = \frac{1260}{62}

R = 20.32Ω

Therefore, the smallest resistance that can be obtained by connecting  a 36.0-Ω , a 50.0-Ω , and a 700-Ω resistor together is 20.32Ω

Force F = − + ( 8.00 N i 6.00 N j ) ( ) acts on a particle with position vector r = + (3.00 m i 4.00 m j ) ( ) .
jek_recluse [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F=((-8i)+6j)\ N

Position of the particle, r=(3i+4j)\ m

(a) The toque on a particle about the origin is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=((-8i)+6j) \times (3i+4j)

Taking the cross product of above two vectors, we get the value of torque as :

\tau=(0+0-50k)\ N-m

(b) Let \theta is the angle between r and F. The angle between two vectors is given by :

cos\theta=\dfrac{r.F}{|r|.|F|}

cos\theta=\dfrac{(3i+4j).((-8i)+6j)}{(\sqrt{3^2+4^2} ).(\sqrt{8^2+6^2}) }

cos\theta=\dfrac{0}{50}

\theta=90^{\circ}

Which metal would cause the greatest increase in the temperature of the water in the calorimeter: the one with the highest speci
masha68 [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the one with the highest specific heat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
  • The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C or 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance.
  • <em><u>A metal with the highest specific heat will cause the greatest increase in temperature of water in a calorimeter because the metal would hold more heat, and then transfer the greater quantity of heat to the water.</u></em>

A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,
olganol [36]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

String makes an angle w.r.t  vertical=\theta=

a.We have to derive an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the van in terms of the angle \theta and magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity.

According to newton's second law

T sin\theta=ma

Tcos\theta=mg

\frac{Tsin\theta}{Tcos\theta}=\frac{ma}{mg}

tan\theta=\frac{a}{g}

a=gtan\theta

b.\theta=10^{\circ}

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=9.8\times tan10^{\circ}=1.73 m/s^2

c.Velocity=Constant

We have to find the angle \theta

a=0

0=9.8tan\theta

tan\theta=0

tan\theta=tan0

\theta=0^{\circ}
