Answer:

V=IR

since the circuit is parallel both resistor have same voltage and different current value according to OHMs law.

total resistance in parallel=

1/R=1/R1+1/R2+...+1/Rn

since we have two resistor in parallel

Rt=R1R2/R1+R2

2*4/2+4=4/3 ohms

I=V/R

12/4/3=36/4=9Amp

I=12/2=6amp

I=12/4=3amp

total current

I=6+3

9amp

A block with mass 0.5 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.2 m. W

lianna [129]

Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m

Work done in stretching the spring is equal to $W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 0.2^2=2J$

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the block

And this kinetic energy must be equal to work done by the frictional force

So $\mu mg\times s=2$

$\mu\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 1=2$

$\mu =0.4081$

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Which planet moves the fastest and which planet moves slowest? a, b, c, d, e, or f. Explain

Alisiya [41]

D is the point where the planet moves the fastest. This is because it is in the perihelion, where the planet is moving at it’s fastest pace
