Answer:

R2 = 10.31Ω

Explanation:

For two resistors in parallel you have that the equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\\      (1)

R1 =  13 Ω

R2 = ?

The equivalent resistance of the circuit can also be calculated by using the Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}            (2)

V: emf source voltage = 23 V

I: current = 4 A

You calculate the Req by using the equation (2):

R_{eq}=\frac{23V}{4A}=5.75\Omega

Now, you can calculate the unknown resistor R2 by using the equation (1):

\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_{eq}R_1}{R_1-R_{eq}}\\\\R_2=\frac{(5.75\Omega)(13\Omega)}{13\Omega-5.75\Omega}=10.31\Omega

hence, the resistance of the unknown resistor is 10.31Ω

Answer:

The resistance of the unknown resistor is 5.75 Ω

Explanation:

We have a circuit containing two resistors connected in parallel.

One resistor is 13 Ω and the other resistor's resistance is unknown.

Both resistors are connected in parallel to an emf source of 23 V.

The current through the unknown resistor is measured with an ammeter to be 4 A.

Recall that in a parallel circuit the voltage across resistors remains the same but the current flowing through them is different.

So it means that the voltage across the unknown resistor is 23 V.

Since we already know the current flowing through the unknown resistor then using the Ohm's law

V = IR \\\\R = V/I \\\\R = 23/4 \\\\R = 5.75 \: \Omega \\\\

Therefore, the resistance of the unknown resistor is 5.75 Ω

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is  

 \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is  n_F  =  1.497

     The  wavelength of the blue light is F  =  486.1 nm  =  486.1 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is  n_C  =  1.488

       The  wavelength of the red light is C =  656.3 nm  = 656.3 *10^{-9} \  m

    The incidence angle is  i  =  45^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light  in the acrylic block  is mathematically represented as

       r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_F} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.497} ]

      r_F  =  28.18^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

       r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_C} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.488} ]

      r_F  =  28.37^o

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

     \theta _d  =  r_C  - r_F

substituting values

       \theta _d  = 28.37 -  28.18

       \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

How much will a 200kg hippo accelerate if you push it with a force of 800 N?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

force = f, mass = m, acceleration = a

f = m a

m = 200 kg

f = 800 N

f = m a

800 = 200a

a = 800 / 200

<u><em>a = 4</em></u>

Hope this helps
