Answer:

The power dissipated in either one of the parallel resistors is 2 V

Explanation:

Given;

two parallel resistors, R₁ and R₂ = 2 ohms

The total resistance of the Two resistors of 2 ohms connected in parallel is;

R_T = \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2} = \frac{2*2}{2+2} = \frac{4}{4} = 1 \ ohm

when connected to another resistor  of 1 ohm in series, the total resistance becomes;

Rt = R₁ + R₂

Rt = 1 + 1 = 2 ohms

Current in the circuit, I = voltage / total resistance

                                      = 2 /2 = 1 A

the overall circuit has been resolved to series connection, and current flow in series circuit is constant.

Power = I²R

Thus,  power dissipated in either one of the parallel 2 ohms resistors is;

Power = I²R = (1)² x 2 = 2 V

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2
