Set up a parallel circuit with three resistors. Set up the battery to be 9 V, one resistor at 10 Ohms, the other at 21 Ohms, and

the last at 13 Ohms. What is the equivalent resistance of this circuit? What is the average current of the circuit?

In a parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance is the reciprocal of (the sum of the individual reciprocals).

1/R = 1/10 + 1/21 + 1/13

1/R = 0.225 mhos

R = 4.45 ohms

I = V / R

The total current out of the battery is

I = (9v)/(4.45ohms)

I = 2.02 Amperes

As the total current leaves the battery, it splits into 3 paths, and each resistor gets part of it. The 10ohm resistor gets the most current; the 21ohm resistor gets the least current. After flowing through the resistors, the 3 currents join and add up to 2.02 Amperes again, and the same current returns to the battery.

Each resistor has the same 9v of EMF across it.

Mila [183]

Answer: hello  below is the missing part of your question

A mass m = 10 kg rests on a frictionless table and accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 5029 N/m. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.49. The mass leaves the spring at a speed v = 3.4 m/s.

answer

x = 0.0962 m

Explanation:

<em>First step :</em>

Determine the length of the rough patch/spot

F = Uₓ (mg)

and  w = F.d = Uₓ (mg)  * d

hence;

d( length of rough patch) = w / Uₓ (mg) = 46.55 / (0.49 * 10 * 9.8) = 0.9694 m

<em>next : </em>

work done on unstretched spring length

Given that block travels halfway i.e. d = 0.9694 / 2 = 0.4847 m

w' = Uₓ (mg)  * d

    = 0.49 * 10 * 9.81 * 0.4847 = 23.27 J

also given that the Elastic energy of spring = work done ( w')

1/2 * kx^2 = 23.27 J

x = \sqrt{\frac{2*23.27}{5029} }  = 0.0962 m

Paladinen [302]
The van's AVERAGE speed on the way up the hill is

(1/2) (20 + 12) = (1/2) (32) = 16 m/s .

At an average speed of 16 m/s, it travels

(16 m/s) x (8 s) = 128 meters in 8 seconds.
