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

An 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s collides (perfectly inelastic) with a 50 kg object initially at rest.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option C. 5,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>

Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed

P=mv

The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object

m_1=(100\ kg)(50\ m/s)=5,000\ kg\ m/s

m_2=(50\ kg)(0\ m/s) = 0

The sum of the momenta of both objects prior to the collision is

P=5,000\ kg\ m/s+0\ kg\ m/s

\boxed{ P=5,000\ kg\ m/s}

Three forces are applied to a solid cylinder of mass 12 kg (see the drawing). The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 15 N, F2 = 2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

α = 13.7 rad / s²

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

         

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

         F₁  0 + F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃ = I α

give us the cylinder moment of inertia

        I = ½ M R₂²

         

        α = (F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃)  \frac{2}{M R_2^2}

let's calculate

        α = (24  0.22 - 13  0.10) \frac{2}{12 \ 0.22^2}2/12 0.22²

        α = 13.7 rad / s²
