A 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.

Physics
1 answer:
Andrew [12]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω

A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up fro
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A. 231.77 J

B. 5330.71 J

C. 46 donuts

Explanation:

A. To lift the barbell once, she will have to extend it the full length of her arm. The work done will then be:

W = F * d

Where the force is the weight of the barbell.

F = m * g

Hence, the work done in lifting the barbell is:

W = m * g * d

W = 43 * 9.8 * 0.55

W = 231.77 J

B. If she does 23 repetitions, the total energy she expend will be equal to the Potential energy when the barbell is lifted multiplied by 23:

E = 23 * m * g * d

E = 23 * 231.77

E = 5330.71 J

C. 1 Joule = 4.184 calories

5330.71 Joules = 5330.71 * 4.184 = 22303.69

If 1 donut contains 490 calories, the number of donuts she will need will be:

N = 22303.69/490 = 45.5 donuts or 46 donuts

It is recommended that drinking water contain 1.6 ppm fluoride (F−) for prevention of tooth decay. Consider a reservoir with a d
icang [17]

Answer:

total amount of fluoride 3.6 *10^6 g

Explanation:

we know that

volume of reservoir = \pi r^2 h

                                  =\pi* [\frac{4.70*10^2}{2}]^2 *14.2

                                  = 2.25*10^6 m^3

denso=ity of water = 1000 kg/m3

mass of water = 1000*2.25*10^6

                         = 2.25*10^9 kg = 2.25*10^12 g

fluoride 1.6 ppm

total amount of fluoride = \frac{1.6}{10^6} * 2.25*10^{12} g

                                         = 3.6 *10^6 g

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.

How does the size of the ears help to keep an artic fox warm in a cold environment?
Mice21 [21]
As the artic fox has very small ears it helps prevent the heat from his body from escaping quickly.
The bigger the ears the faster the heat escapes basically.
