Answer:

The power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

Explanation:

Given;

three identical resistors connected in series

let the first resistor = R₁

let the second resistor = R₂

let the third resistor = R₃

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Since the resistors are identical, thus, R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R

Rt = 3R

Power is given as;

P = IV = V² / R

P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{V^2}{3R} \\\\3P = \frac{V^2}{R} ------equation(i)

If the 3 identical resistor connection were changed to parallel, then the equivalent resistance in the circuit will be;

\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \\\\But, R_1 = R_2 = R_3\\\\\\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} \\\\\frac{1}{R_t} =\frac{3}{R} \\\\R_t = \frac{R}{3} \\\\P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{3V^2}{R} \\\\P_{parallel} = \frac{3V^2}{R} ---------equation (ii)\\\\From \ equation \ (i), 3P_{series} = \frac{V^2}{R}, Substitute \ this \ into \ equation \ (ii)\\\\P = 3(\frac{V^2}{R} )\\\\P = 3(3P)\\\\P_{parallel} = 9P_{series}\\\\P_{parallel} = 9(45)\\\\

P_{parallel} = 405 \ W

Therefore, the power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction
const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .

The earth has a mass ME = 5.98 · 1024 kg and the moon has a mass MM = 7.36 · 1022 kg. The distance from the center of the earth
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2 x 10^20 N

Explanation:

Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg

Mm = 7.36 x 10^22 kg

r = 3.82 x 10^5 km = 3.82 x 10^8 m

The gravitational force between earth and moon is

F = G Me x Mm / r^2

F = (6.67 x 10^-11 x  5.98 x 10^24 x 7.36 x 10^22) / (3.82 x 10^8 x 3.82 x 10^8)

F = 2 x 10^20 N

A satellite is launched to orbit the Earth at an altitude of 3.25 107 m for use in the Global Positioning System (GPS). Take the
Korolek [52]

Answer:Orbital period =21.22hrs

Explanation:

given that

mass of earth M = 5.97 x 10^24 kg

radius of a satellite's orbit, R=  earth's radius + height of the satellite

6.38X 10^6 +  3.25 X10^7 m =3.89 X 10^7m

Speed of satellite, v= \sqrt GM/R

where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2

V= \sqrt (6.673x10^-11 x 5.97x10^ 24)/(3.89 X 10^ 7m)

V =10,241082.2

v= 3,200.2m/s

a) Orbital period

\sqrt GM/R = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

V= \frac{2\pi r}{T}

T= 2 \pi r/ V

= 2 X 3.142 X 3.89 X 10^7m/ 3,200.2m/s

=76,385.1 s

60 sec= 1min

60mins = 1hr

76,385.1s =hr

76,385.1/3600=21.22hrs
