1. Calculate the equivalent resistance in the circuit :

In the given diagram, the resistors are in series connection,

So equivalent resistance = sum of resistance of both resistors.

$\large \boxed{R_{eq} =R_1 +R_2 }$

$R_{eq} = 480 + 360$

$R_{eq} = 840 \: ohms$

Therefore, Equivalent resistance = 840 ohms.

2. Calculate the current through the battery :

$\boxed{ \mathrm{current = \dfrac{potential \: \: difference}{resistance} }}$

$i = \dfrac{120}{840}$

$i = \dfrac{1}{7}$

$i = 0.142 \: Amperes$

Hence, current through the battery = 0.142 A

3. How much current is passing through each resistor :

Since the resistors are joined in series connection, the current flowing through each resistor will be equal = 0.142 Amperes.

The cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected and atmospheric pressure

jok3333 [9.3K]

Less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape from the open cylinder valve.

Cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane because of higher pressures.

<h3>What are compressed gases?</h3>

Compressed gases are gases which are compressed under high pressure in gas cylinders.

Cylinder valves are used to reduce the pressure of the compressed gases and in the process, some of the gas molecules escape.

Since the cylinder valve is open and the gas is collected at atmospheric pressure, less gas will be collected because some of the gases will escape.

Since, the carbon dioxide not liquefy under pressure compared to butane, the cylinders used to store carbon dioxide will have thicker walls than those of butane.

How are cactus adapted to survive in deserts?

andreev551 [17]

1. They have evolved their leaves into spikes for minimum water loss through transpiration.

2. They have a waxy layer for minimum water loss.

3. They have thick walls for minimum water loss.

4. They can take water from atmosphere.

5. They change the photo energy from Sun into an intermediate stage and store it, so that they can make food even in night.

a ball is projected upward at time t = 0.00 s from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik

grin007 [14]

Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the height of the ball when it hits the ground

$y_{o}=70 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=82m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time when the ball strikes the ground

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find $t$ from (1):

$0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$ (2)

Rewritting (2):

$-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0$ (3)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:
