please mark brainliest

Explanation:

Let the east direction to be i^ and north direction be j^.

Thus displacement of the man S=8i^+6j^

So, magnitude of displacement ∣S∣=62+82=100=10 m

A cup of coffee is sitting on a table in a train that is moving with a constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction bet

Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 2.94 m/s²

Explanation:

In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

ma = μR = μW

ma = μmg

a = μg

where,

a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)

a = 2.94 m/s²

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in series to a 6.0 V battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential

mestny [16]

Answer:

Resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

Explanation:

When the two resistors are in series, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B.

Given that V₁ + V₂ = 6.0 V and V₁ = 4.0 V,

V₂ = 6.0 V - V₁ = 6.0 V - 4.0 V = 2.0 V

Also, let the current in series be I.

So, V₁ = IR₁ and V₂ = IR₂

I = V₁/R₁ and I = V₂/R₂

equating both expressions, we have

V₁/R₁ = V₂/R₂

4.0 V/R₁ = 2.0 V/R₂

dividing through by 2.0 V, we have

2/R₁ = 1/R₂

taking the reciprocal, we have

R₂ = R₁/2

R₁ = 2R₂

From the parallel connection, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B. Since it is parallel, V₁ = V₂ = V = 6.0 V

Also, V₂ = I₂R₂ where I₂ = current in resistor B = 2.0 A and R₂ = resistance of resistor B

So, R₂ = V₂/I₂

= 6.0 V/2.0 A

= 3.0 Ω

R₁ = 2R₂

= 2(3.0 Ω)

= 6.0 Ω

So, resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω
