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.

If the ankylosaurs starts running and accelerates at 1.3m/s^2 for 3 seconds how far does he make it before the velociraptor catc
sveta [45]

Acceleration is the change of velocity, and velocity is the change of distance. The opposite of finding change, or differentiation, is integration.

Acceleration = 1.3 m/s²

Velocity: ∫ 1.3 dx = 1.3x + c m/s

Distance: ∫ 1.3x dx = 1.3x²/2 + c m

Distance run: 1.3*3²/2 = 5.85 m

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

372.3 J/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the total energy supplied to the calorimeter.

We know that:

V = 3.6 V is the voltage applied

I = 2.6 A is the current

So, the power delivered is

P=VI=(3.6)(2.6)=9.36 W

Then, this power is delivered for a time of

t = 350 s

Therefore, the energy supplied is

E=Pt=(9.36)(350)=3276 J

Finally, the change in temperature of an object is related to the energy supplied by

E=C\Delta T

where in this problem:

E = 3276 J is the energy supplied

C is the heat capacity of the object

\Delta T =29.1^{\circ}-20.3^{\circ}=8.8^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

Solving for C, we find:

C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{3276}{8.8}=372.3 J/^{\circ}C

The y-component of a projectile’s velocity is 12.1 m/s. When the projectile once again passes by the height from which it was la
Nat2105 [25]
It's 12.1 m/s, assuming that's the launch velocity that's given.
For projectile motion, velocity's y-component is parabolic/quadratic. It's x-component is constant, so you don't need to know it.
