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.

1. During the Middle Ages, armies often attacked castles using large siege engines such as the counterweight trebuchet at left.
fredd [130]

Answer: Some challenges that I could see would be the walls, possibly a moat, tar, and the towers.

Explanation: The wall is obliviously a main problem, trying to get over it or through it is a difficult challenge. The moat (if it has one) means that there is more than likely only one way to get in or out.  If it does have tar it means that the attackers are going to be put in a "sticky situation" And finally the towers, they have people at the top shooting arrows down at you, or throwing things at you.

4application of energy from water

<span><span>Fuel Extraction and Production – Water is a critical resource for the drilling and mining of natural gas, coal, oil, and uranium. In many cases, fuel extraction also produces wastewater, as with natural gas and oil wells and coal slurry ponds.
</span><span>
Fuel Refining and Processing – Oil, uranium, and natural gas all require refining before they can be used as fuels – a process that uses substantial amounts of water.
</span><span>
Fuel Transportation – Water is used to transport coal through slurries — pipelines of finely ground coal mixed with water — and to test energy pipelines for leaks.[1]</span><span>Emissions Control – Many thermoelectric power plants emit sulfur, mercury, particulates, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants, and require pollution control technologies. These technologies also require significant amounts of water to operate.</span></span>

A ship, carrying freshwater to a desert island in the caribbean, has a horizontal cross-sectional area of 2800 m2 at the waterli
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Due that we already know the horizontal cross-sectional area of the ship, which is 2800 m2 and we are going to understand that value keeps constant for the whole 9.5 of height of the ship from the waterline till the new waterline after unloading, then we just need to calculate the volume as follows: V = A * H , where V is volume, A is area and H is height V= 2,800 * 9.5 = 26,600 m3 So this volum of 26,600 cubic meters is the volum of freshwater delivered in the island.</span>

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s
