Answer:

We sum the inverse of each resistance and then invert the sum.

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance in case of parallel combination of resistors is given by the formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}$

Here,

R is the equivalent resistance

$R_1\ and\ R_2$ are individual resistors that are connected in parallel

We can find the value of R as :

Firstly, we add the inverse of the individual resistances.
Secondly, we invert the sum that we get in above step.

So, the correct option is (a) "We sum the inverse of each resistance and then invert the sum".

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}$

The object accelerates from 45 meters per second to 10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

$v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -7 \ m/s/s$

$a= -7 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.

Un satélite geoestacionario se encuentra a una distancia de 120.000 km sobre la superficie de Júpiter. Determine: a. El periodo

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet,

b) f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c) d) w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

Explanation:

a) The definition of a geostationary satellite is that it is always at the same point with respect to the planet, that is, its period of revolutions is the same as the period of the planet

T = 10 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.6 104 s

b) the period the frequency are related

T = 1 / f

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 3.6 104

f = 2.7777 10⁻⁵ Hz

c) the distance traveled by the satellite in 1 day

The distance traveled is equal to the length of the circumference

d = 2pi (R + r)

d = 2pi (69 911 103 + 120 106)

d = 1193.24 m

d) the angular velocity is the angle traveled between the time used.

.w = 2pi /t

w = 2pi / 3.6 10⁴

w = 1.745 10⁻⁴ rad / s

how fast is

v = w r

v = 1.75 10-4 (69.911 106 + 120 106)

v = 190017 m / s

What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 50kg and is and it is traveling at a rate of 60m/s.

liq [111]

Answer:

90,000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the mass in kilograms and v is the velocity in m/s.

We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.

m=50

v=60

Substitute these values into the formula.

$KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*60^2$

First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.

60^2=60*60=3,600

$KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*3,600$

Multiply 50 and 3,600

$KE=\frac{1}{2}*180,000$

Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.

$KE=90,000$

Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.

$KE=90,000 Joules$

The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules

I can't make sense of this question. Julie's throwing the ball, so it's leaving her rather than arriving at her ???

The lowest surface temperature in the solar system (-200°c occurs on

zimovet [89]

The lowest surface temperature in the solar system was recorded on Uranus (-224 degrees Celsius). The temperature of a planet does not only depend on the amount of solar radiation that it receives but also on the amount of heat that it gives off. Because of Uranus' orientation it absorbs little radiation which makes it colder than Neptune although Neptune is further away from the Sun.
