A parallel circuit is sometimes called a current divider because current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit. In addition, the current through the branches is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. If the resistance in each branch is kept constant but the voltage is decreased, the current will decrease.

You drop your frozen rock from a green bridge. The frozen rock starts from rest (initial velocity = 0ms). The rock takes 4.3s to
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The velocity of the frozen rock at t = 1.5\,s is -14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

The frozen rock experiments a free fall, which is a type of uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and air viscosity and earth's rotation effect are neglected. In this case, we need to find the final velocity (v), measured in meters per second, of the frozen rock at given instant and whose kinematic formula is:

v = v_{o} + g\cdot t (Eq. 1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

g - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we get that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and 1.5\,s, then final velocity is:

v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (1.5\,s)

v = -14.711\,\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the frozen rock at t = 1.5\,s is -14.711 meters per second.

If you shout on the moon,will the sound travel faster or slower than on earth?why?
labwork [276]
As long as the sound is inside the helmet of your space suit, it will travel
at the same speed as it would on Earth, through the same mixture of gases
at the same pressure.  Once it passes through the visor of your space helmet,
its 'speed' has no meaning, since there's nothing for sound to travel through on
the moon, and it doesn't travel at all.
