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 highest freefall jump on record is from a height of almost 38,000 m. At this height, the acceleration of gravity is slightly
lina2011 [118]

Increasing his acceleration will impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered in that as the speed increases due to the increased rate of acceleration, the rate of air resistance also increases.  

<h3>What is air resistance?</h3>

Air resistance is a force created by air. When an item moves through the air, the force operates in the opposite direction.

When a diver descends, the force of air resistance acts to counteract the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls faster and faster, the quantity of air resistance grows until it equals the magnitude of gravity's force.

A balance of forces is achieved when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance, and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver reaches what is known as terminal velocity.

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t
tia_tia [17]

1.A) 4.9 m  

AL2006 Ace

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.


After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).


Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.


Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered 4.9 meters.


ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

if the vapor's volume were to be incorrectly recorded as 125ml, how will this error affect the calculated molar mass of the unkn
diamong [38]
So base on your question that as if the vapors volume were to incorrectly recorded as 125ml, the effect of the error to calculate the molar mass is the same as the error in measuring the volume of the vapor. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
