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.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 8.0 × 10³ kg. Find the net work done by all forces on the plane as it accele
artcher [175]

Answer:

<em>the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

Explanation:

Work: Work can be defined as the product of force and distance. The fundamental unit of work is Joules (J),  The unit of Energy is Joules (J), as such Energy and work are interchangeable during calculation, This is illustrated below

E = W = 1/2mv².......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the plane, v = velocity of the plane, E = Energy, W = work done.

v² = u² + 2as ................................. Equation 2.

Where v = final velocity of the plane, u = initial velocity of the plane, a = acceleration of the plane, distance of the plane.

<em>Given: a = 1.0 m/s², s = 30 m, u = 0 m/s (at rest)</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>v² = 0² +2×1×30</em>

<em>v² = 60</em>

<em>v = √60</em>

<em>v = 7.75 m/s</em>

Also given: m = 8.0 × 10³ kg, and v = 7.75 m/s

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>W = 1/2(8.0×10³)(7.75)²</em>

<em>W = (4.0×10³)(60)</em>

W = 240 × 10³ J

<em>W = 2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

<em>Therefore the net work done after starting from rest is =  2.4 × 10⁵ J</em>

A 3.50 cm tall object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the image height?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<h2>6.36 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula to first get the image distance

1/f = 1/u+1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Given f = 16.0 cm, u = 24.8 cm

1/v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625-0.04032

1/v = 0.02218

v = 1/0.02218

v = 45.09 cm

To get the image height, we will us the magnification formula.

Mag = v/u = Hi/H

Hi = image height = ?

H = object height = 3.50 cm

45.09/24.8 = Hi/3.50

Hi = (45.09*3.50)/24.8

Hi = 6.36 cm

The image height is 6.36 cm

Eva8 [605]

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.
