FORMULA:

R(s) = R1 + R2 + R3 + Rn where n is the number of resistors.

ANSWER:

The equivalent resistance is where the aggregate resistance connected either in parallel or series is calculated.

We already know that, In series combination all the resistors are connected directly. So, to calculate the equivalent resistance in series we just have to add the all value of resistance.

If you throw a ball to your friend, the ball ____________.

hram777 [196]

”Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.”

I would think that then the answer is B because the ball would have the opposing force to your hand.

A student is skateboarding down a ramp that is 6.0 m long and inclined at 180 with respect to the horizontal. The initial speed

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the ramp is 2.6m/s

Explanation:

The final velocity can be determined by means of the equations for a Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} + 2ad$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{i}^{2} + 2ad}$ (1)

Notice that it is necessary to found the acceleration that can be done by means of Newton's second law:

The acceleration can be found by means of Newton's second law:

$\sum F_{net} = ma$

Where $\sum F_{net}$ is the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

$Fx + Fy = ma$ (2)

<em>Force in the x axis:</em>

$F_{x} = W_{x}$

The component of the weight in the x axis can be gotten by means of trigonometric:

$\frac{OC}{H} = sen \theta$

$\frac{W_{x}}{W} = sen \theta$

$W_{x} = W sen \theta$

$W_{x} = mgsen \theta$

$F_{x} = mgsen \theta$ (3)

<em>Forces in the y axis: </em>

$F_{y} = N - W_{y}$ (4)

The component of the weight in the y axis can be gotten by means of trigonometric:

$\frac{AC}{H} = cos \theta$

$\frac{W_{y}}{W} = cos \theta$

$W_{y}= W cos \theta$

Remember that the weight is defined as:

$W = mg$

$W_{y}= mgcos \theta$

The normal force can be obtained from equation (4)

$N - W_{y} = 0$

$N = W_{y}$

$N = mgcos \theta$

Therefore, equation 4 can be rewritten as:

$F_{y} = mgcos \theta - mgcos \theta$

$F_{y} = 0$ (5)

Then, replacing equation 3 and equation 5 in equation 2 it is gotten:

$mgsen \theta + 0 = ma$

$mgsen \theta = ma$ (6)

However, a can be isolated from equation 6

$a = \frac{mgsen \theta}{m}$

$a = gsen \theta$ (7)

Finally, equation 7 can be replaced in equation 2:

$v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{i}^{2} + 2d(gsen \theta)}$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{(2.6m/s)^{2} + 2(6.0m)(9.8m/s^{2})sen 180^{\circ})}$

$v_{f} = 2.6m/s$

Hence, the speed at the bottom of the ramp is 2.6m/s

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10

postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

D. Banks and offices closing on sunday.

Explanation:

Church is usually on sunday and people need a day off to do it because service is about 3 hours long. When banks and offices close on this day it shows how religion has affected our lives and our culture.
