<u>Answer</u>: The potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the potential difference cross the resistor, we use Ohm's Law. This law states that the potential difference across two wires is directly proportional to the current flowing through that wire.

Mathematically,

$V\propto I\\V=IR$

Where,

V = potential difference = ?V

I = Current flowing = 1.2 A

R = Resistor = $10\Omega$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=1.2\times 10=12V$

Hence, the potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts

Answer:

1.0 x 10^-3 m

Explanation:

1mm = (1/1000) m = 0.001m = 1.0 x 10^-3m (because to get 1.0, you have to movi the decimal point in the "0.001" three spots over to the right)

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 32.7 m /s

final velocity v = 50.3 m /s

displacement s = 44500 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

50.3² = 32.7² + 2 x a x 44500

2530.09 = 1069.29 + 89000a

a .016 m /s²

time taken t = ?

v = u + at

50.3 = 32.7 + .016 t

t = 1100 s

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km Average velocity: 1.274 $\frac{km}{h}$

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as direction towards the negative side of X-axis.

0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑ $Sx = Ax -0.916$ ⇒ ∑ $Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916$
