Explanation:

The total resistance used to calculate the total resistance of the two parallel resistor is given by :

R_t=\dfrac{r_1\times r_2}{r_1+r_2}

Taking reciprocal of the above equation.

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1+r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

We can also write the above equation as :

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_1\times r_2}+\dfrac{r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

On simplification of above equation,

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_2}+\dfrac{1}{r_1}

or

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_1}+\dfrac{1}{r_2}

Hence, proved.

One or more calcium ions (Ca+2) combine with one or more chlorine ions (Cl-1). What is the resulting formula?
N76 [4]
The formula is CaCl2 as you need two Cl ions in order to combine with one Ca ion in order to form a neutral compound i.e. You need to have the same amount of charges therefore  you have two Cl ions which have  -1 charges for one +2 Ca ion.
Hope this helps :).

You are at the top of the Empire State Building on the 102nd floor, which is located 373 m above the ground, when your favorite
Liula [17]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

H = actual height of the superhero = ?

H₀ = height of the superhero as observed = 1.73 m

v = speed of the superhero = 0.50 c

Using the equation

H = H_{o} \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

Inserting the values

H = 1.73 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{0.50 c}{c} \right )^{2}}

H = 1.5 m
