A 120 Ω resistor, a 60 Ω resistor, and a 40 Ω resistor are connected in parallel and placed across a potential difference of 12.

0 V. What is the equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit?

Answer:

The equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit would be 20 Ω

Explanation:

To calculate the resistance of resistors connected in parallel, the formula to be used is

1/R = 1/R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄...

1/R = 1/120 + 1/60 + 1/40

1/R = (1 + 2 + 3)/120

1/R = 6/120

1/R = 1/20 Ω

This can be rewritten or cross-multiplied to be

R × 1 = 20 × 1

R = 20 Ω

The equivalent resistance (R) would then be 20 Ω

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy transforms matter in different ways by creating and destroying it.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form of energy to another, but the energy in an isolated system remains constant.

The answer then would be letter B. False.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.

Explanation:

Using the velocity formula;

v^2 = 2as

a = v^2/(2s)

a = 1.6^2/(2*0.9)

a = 2.56/1.8

a = 1.42 m/s^2

the force necessary to give the book the acceleration is  

F = ma = 3.5*1.42 (m is mass of the book i.e. 3.5 kg)

F = 4.98 N

The difference in the force is the friction force, which is

Ff = 25 - 4.98 = 20 N

Ff = mgμ

where μ is coefficient of friction and g is acceleration due to gravity that is 9.8 m/s^2

μ = Ff/mg

μ = 20/(3.5*9.81)

μ = 0.582

Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.

Which of the following electromagnetic waves has the shortest wavelength?
mamaluj [8]
The human eye sees radio waves with a very short wavelength, which is another way of saying high-frequency waves. The word "ultra" should queue you in that ultraviolet waves are higher frequency than just violet waves. Violet is sorta purplish or blueish, which is the highest frequency or "color" that our eyes can see. So ultraviolet is higher frequency than visible light, which is the same thing as "color." On the other hand, red is the lowest frequency or highest wavelength that our eyes can see. And "Infra" means lower than red, so, infrared waves are "colors" or frequencies, smaller than visible light. To determine where microwaves fall under look up "Electromagnetic Spectrum." Good luck!

In the process of changing a flat tire, a motorist uses a hydraulic jack. She begins by applying a force of 48 N to the input pi
erik [133]

Answer:

Force that the output plunger applies to the car; F2 = 3888N

Explanation:

For a hydraulic device, the relationship between the force and the area using Pascal's principle is;

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Where;

F1 is force applied to the input piston

F2 is force that the output plunger applies to the car

A1 is Area of input piston

A2 is area of larger piston

We are given;

R2/R1 = 9

So,R2 = 9R1

F1 = 48N

Area of input piston;

A1 = π(R1)²

Area of output piston;

A2 = π(9R1)²

Since, (F1/A1) = (F2/A2)

Thus;

F1/(π(R1)²) = F2/(π(9R1)²)

If we simplify, π(R1)² will cancel out to give;

F1 = F2/9²

Thus;

F2 = 9² x F1

Plugging in 48N for F1, we have;

F2 = 9² x 48

F2 = 81 x 48

F2 = 3888N
