<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.5Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Since different currents are passing through the resistors, then the resistors are most probably connected in parallel. This also means that the same voltage will pass across them.

Using Ohm's law, the voltage across a resistor in a circuit is given by;

V = I(R + r)            -----------(i)

<em>For the 1ohm resistor, the voltage across it is given by;</em>

<em>Where;</em>

I = current passing through the 1 ohm resistor = 0.6A

R = resistance of the 1 ohm resistor = 1Ω

r = internal resistance of the cell = r

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

V = 0.6(1 + r)                 -------------------(ii)

<em>For the 4.0ohm resistor, the voltage across it is given by;</em>

<em>Where;</em>

I = current passing through the 4.0 ohms resistor = 0.2A

R = resistance of the 4.0 ohms resistor = 4.0Ω

r = internal resistance of the cell = r

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

V = 0.2(4.0 + r)                 -------------------(iii)

<em>Now solve equations (ii) and (iii) simultaneously;</em>

V = 0.6(1 + r)

V = 0.2(4.0 + r)

Substitute the value of V in equation (ii) into equation (iii). Therefore, we have;

0.6(1 + r) = 0.2(4.0 + r)

<em>Solve for r</em>

0.6 + 0.6r = 0.8 + 0.2r

0.6r - 0.2r = 0.8 - 0.6

0.4r = 0.2

r = \frac{0.2}{0.4}

r = 0.5

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.5Ω

In your own words, explain the effects of time dilation.
Natalka [10]
So we want to explain the effects of time dilation. In theory of relativity time dilation is the difference of elapsed time between two events when measured by two observers who are moving relatively to each other. A clock of an observer that is standing still in an inertial frame of reference is going to measure a different time of an event than the clock of an observer that is moving with some velocity with respect to the inertial reference frame that is not moving. In a nutshell, the moving clock is ticking slower than the clock that is standing still.

Use the graph for both answers.
Natasha2012 [34]

1. A. 6.00 sec

The graph shows the velocity of an object (y-axis) versus the time (x-axis). In order to find when the magnitude of the velocity reaches 36.00 km/h, we should find the time t (x-coordinate) at which the velocity (y-coordinate) is 36.

By looking at the graph, we see that this occurs when t=6.00 s.


2. A. positive acceleration

In a velocity-time graph like this one, the slope of the curve corresponds to the acceleration of the object. In fact, acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the variation of velocity and \Delta t is the variation of time. We see that this quantity corresponds to the slope of the curve in the graph (in fact, \Delta v represents the increment of the y coordinate, while \Delta t represents the increment of the x coordinate). So, a positive slope means a positive acceleration: in this case, the slope is positive, so the acceleration is also positive.
