The effective resistance is the reciprocal of

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6 =

3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 =

9/12 Siemens

The reciprocal is 12/9 ohms.

That's 4/3 or 1.333 ohms.

Answer:

1 1/3 or 1.33333

Explanation:

First of all, you should note that the answer will be smaller than the smallest resistor. That means that the answer should be less than 3. Let's see if it is.

1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/Rt

  • R1 = 4
  • R2 = 3
  • R3 = 6

All resistors are in ohms.

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/Rt   You could do this using decimals, but the usual way is to use fractions.

The Common Denominator is 12

3/12 + 4/12 + 2/12 = 1/Rt

9/12 = 1/Rt                           Turn 9/12 upside down

12/9 = Rt

1 3/9 = RT

1 1/3 = Rt

1.3333 = Rt

The answer is under 3 so we know it should be right.

You took a running leap off a high diving platform. You were running at 3.1 m/s and hit the water 2.4 seconds later. How high wa
rusak2 [61]

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away)?
faust18 [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.

Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.

Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.
