<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

4. The flow of electric charge is know as
vredina [299]

Answer:

electrons

Explanation:

An electric current is said to exist when there is a net flow of electric charge through a region. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by electrons moving through a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in an ionized gas (plasma).

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90 cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at it
kupik [55]

Answer: The mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg

Explanation:

Using the equation of fundamental frequency of a taut string.

f = (1/2L)*√(T/μ) .... (Eqn1)

Where

f= frequency in Hertz =80Hz

T = Tension in the string = Mg

M represent the mass of the substance (sculpture) =?

g= 9.8m/s^2

L= Length of the string=90cm=0.9m

μ= mass density = mass of string /Length of string

mass of string =5g=0.005kg

L=0.9m

μ=0.005/0.9 = 0.0056kg/m

Using (Eqn1)

80= 1/(2*0.9) √(T/0.0056)

144= √(T/0.0056)

Square both sides

20736= T/0.0056

T= 116.12N

Recall that T =Mg

116.12= M * 9.8

M=116.12/9.8

M= 11.8kg

Therefore the mass of the sculpture is 11.8kg
