<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

A monkey running through the jungle goes 0.198 km straight to the East, then turns 15.8° deflection from straight East toward th
inn [45]

Answer:

|\vec r|=339.82\ m

\theta=-6.67^o

Explanation:

<u>Displacement </u>

It's a vector magnitude that measures the space traveled by a particle between an initial and a final position. The total displacement can be obtained by adding the vectors of each individual displacement. In the case of two displacements:

\vec r=\vec r_1+\vec r_2

Given a vector as its polar coordinates (r,\theta), the corresponding rectangular coordinates are computed with

x=rcos\theta

y=rsin\theta

And the vector is expressed as

\vec z==

The monkey first makes a displacement given by (0.198 km,0°). The angle is 0 because it goes to the East, the zero-reference for angles. Thus the first displacement is

\vec r_1==\ km=\ m

The second move is (145 m , -15.8°). The angle is negative because it points South of East. The second displacement is

\vec r_2==\ m

The total displacement is

\vec r=\ m+\ m

\vec r=\ m

In (magnitude,angle) form:

|\vec r|=\sqrt{337.52^2+(-39.48)^2}=339.82\ m

\boxed{|\vec r|=339.82\ m}

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{-39.48}{337.52}=-0.1169

\boxed{\theta=-6.67^o}

Use the mass and volume data to calculate the density of liquid propane to the nearest hundredth.
Black_prince [1.1K]
Density = mass/volume 
              = 4300/10000
              =    0.43 g/mL.

Therefore density of liquid propane is 0.43 g/mL.

Hope this helps!

A weather balloon is Floating at a constant height above Earth when it releases a pack hot instruments. If the pack hits the gro
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The pack has fallen 275.6 m

Explanation:

The pack is in free fall, so it is moving by uniform accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where, choosing upward as positive direction:

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s is the vertical displacement

For the pack in this problem,

u = 0

v = -73.5 m/s

Solving for s, we find how far the packet has fallen:

s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{(-73.5)^2-0^2}{2(-9.8)}=-275.6 m

And the negative sign means the direction of the displacement is downward.
