Answer:

6A

Explanation:

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that for a parallel path circuit with current flow the sum of the current entering the circuit's junction is equal to the sum of the current moving away from it.

That is 10A enters the junction

and 4A is observed in one of the two branches, that means

10A - 4A = 6A the current in the other branch

Answer:

6A

Explanation:

Given that the current that enters the junction is 10A, According to Kirchoff's current law which states that the total amount of current entering a junction must be equal to the total amount of current leaving the junction, then the total current that also leaves the junction must be equal to 10A, and since one of the two branches by which current leaves the junction has a current of 4A, and the total current leaving the junction must be equal to 10A. So, current passing through the second wire can be given as;

I(total) = I1 + I2

I1 = 4A

I(total) = 10A

I2 = I(total) - I1 = 10A - 4A = 6A

Therefore, the amount of current leaving through the other branch is 6A.

I was in Anchorage Alaska during the Summer Solstice. The sun rose around 3am and set around 1 am the next day-- almost 24 hours
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Daylight hours would be shorter.

Explanation:

If there were no tilt of the axis at all, every place on the planet except the north and south poles would have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every day of the year.

At a 10° tilt, the arctic circle and antarctic circles would be a little less than half the distance from the poles as they are today.

If Anisa swims 85.4 yards in five minutes, how many meters will she swim in 70.0 seconds? ( use the metric system for this quest
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : 18.22 meters

Explanation:

1 yard. = 0.9144 meters

85.4 yards = 78.08976 meters

1 minute = 60 seconds

5 minutes = 300 seconds

Speed of Anisa = distance / time

Speed of Anisa = 78.08976 meters / 300 seconds

Speed of Anisa = 0.26029 meters / second.

Distance travelled in 70 seconds = speed * 70

Distance travelled in 70 seconds = 0.26029 * 70 = 18.22 meters

A rocket moves upward from rest with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 for 5 seconds. It then runs out of fuel and continues to move up
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Maximum height of rocket  = 2538.74 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

For first 5 seconds

          s = 0 x 5 + 0.5 x 40 x 5² = 500 m

Now let us find out time after 5 seconds rocket move upward.

We have the equation of motion v = u + at

After 5 seconds velocity of rocket

         v = 0 + 40 x 5 = 200 m/s

After 5 seconds the velocity reduces 9.8m/s per second due to gravity.

Time of flying after 5 seconds

          t=\frac{200}{9.81}=20.38s

Distance traveled in this 20.38 s

          s = 200 x 20.38 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 20.38² = 2038.74 m

Maximum height of rocket = 500 +2038.74 = 2538.74 m

At the same temperature, two wires made of pure copper have different resistances. The same voltage is applied at the ends of ea
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

As the material is copper for both the wires so the resistivity is same and the voltage is also same. As their resistance is different it means either length is different or the area of crossection is different.
