A series circuit is composed of two resistors:
WITCHER [35]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.3 Amps

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

A circuit with resistors, R1 and R2

R1 = 7 Ω

R2 = 11 Ω

Voltage = 24 V

We are required to calculate the current in the circuit.

<h3>Step 1: We need to find the effective resistance.</h3>

When resistors are arranged in series, the effective resistance is calculated by;

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ..........Rₙ

Therefore;

Total resistance = 7 + 11

                          = 18 Ω

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the current in the circuit</h3>

From the ohm's law;

V = IR

Rearranging the formula;

I = V/R

Thus;

I = 24 V ÷ 18 Ω

 = 1.333 Amps

= 1.3 Amps

Thus, the current in the circuit is 1.3 Amps

What are the top two gasses in the earth’s atmosphere ?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common; dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N2) and about 21% oxygen (O2). Argon, carbon dioxide (CO2), and many other gases are also present in much lower amounts; each makes up less than 1% of the atmosphere's mixture of gases.

Skater begins to spend with arms held out at shoulder height. The skater wants to match the speed of the spin to the beat of the
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment

I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

Explanation:

The angular momentum is conserved if the external torques in the system are zero, this is achieved because the friction with the ice is very small,

           L₀ = L_f

           I₀ w₀ = I w

          w =\frac{I_o}{I} w₀

where we see that the angular velocity changes according to the relation of the angular moments, if we approximate the body as a cylinder with two point charges, weight of the arms

          I₀ = I_cylinder + 2 m r²

where r is the distance from the center of mass of the arms to the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia of the cylinder does not change, therefore changing the distance of the arms changes the moment of inertia.

If we say that the moment of inertia with the arms extended is Io and when the arms are lowered the moment will be

        I <I₀

        I₀/I > 1    ⇒   w > w₀

therefore the angular velocity (rotations) must increase

in this way the skater can adjust his spin speed to the musician.
