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?
Physics

Westkost [7]3 years ago

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

Solar system help please!
Kobotan [32]
When one body(sun) exerts a force on a second body(planet), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the first body. Which makes the planet orbit in path C.

Hope this helps!!

What is a law in physics? state the criteria for a statement to be a law.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

A car starts from rest and travels for 5.8 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.6 m/s² in the negative direction. What is the fina
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Final velocity of the car will be -9.28 m/sec        

Explanation:

We have given that the car starts from the rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m /sec

Acceleration of the car a=1.6m/sec^2 in negative direction so acceleration will be a=-1.6m/sec^2

From first equation of motion we know that

v = u+at

So v=0+(-1.6)\times 5.8=-9.28m/sec

So final velocity will be -9.28 m/sec
