Answer:
Newton's second law of motion
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion can be stated
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
in another form,
Force = mass * acceleration
Answer:
Explanation:
Newton's Gravitation Law
where G is a constant, M and M the masses e d the distance betwen masses.
Answer:
0.4 ohms.
Explanation:
From the circuit,
The voltage reading in the voltmeter = voltage drop across each of the parallel resistance.
1/R' = 1/R1+1/R2
R' = (R1×R2)/(R1+R2)
R' = (2.4×1.2)/(2.4+1.2)
R' = 2.88/3.6
R' = 0.8 ohms.
Hence the current flowing through the circuit is
I = V'/R'................ Equation 1
Where V' = voltmeter reading
I = 6/0.8
I = 7.5 A
This is the same current that flows through the variable resistor.
Voltage drop across the variable resistor = 9-6 = 3 V
Therefore, the resistance of the variable resistor = 3/7.5
Resistance = 0.4 ohms.
