Answer:

V = 0.01(R₁ + R₂)

Explanation:

From Ohm's law, the voltage V across a resistor with resistance R and a current I passing through it is given by

V = IR

If we have two resistances, R₁ and R₂ in series, the total resistance R is the sum of their resistances.

So, R = R₁ + R₂

Now, if the current in the circuit is 0.01 A, the voltage V is

V = IR

V = 0.01R

Substituting R = R₁ + R₂ into the equation for V, we have

V = 0.01(R₁ + R₂)

So, the voltage in two series resistors with current 0.01 A is

V = 0.01(R₁ + R₂)

katovenus [111]

The transit method requires watching the light output of a star over long periods of time. A transit occurs when the planet crosses in front of its star from earths point of view. Since there is a small object (the planet) now blocking some of the star, it appears to dim a little bit for a while until the planet passes. If we are in a position where that occurs regularly (most paths of planets do not happen to be on the line of sight between earth and their star) we can deduce the period of orbit. From the amount of dimming and the period you can estimate the mass

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
$I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}$
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1$
The intensity at r=3 m will be
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}$
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor $1/9$ .
