<u>Answer</u>

3 Ohms

<u>Explanation</u>

when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.

When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)

In this case the resistors are in parallel.

Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹

= (1/3)⁻¹

= 3 Ohms

<span>The formula for calculating total resistance is 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Inputting the values given in the question, this formula becomes: 1/Rt = 1/12 + 1/4, which is 0.3 recurring. Therefore the answer is A, 0.333 Ohms. </span>

2. What is the water pressure at a depth of 24 m in a lake? [Density of water, p = 1 000 kg m- and gravitational acceleration, g
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Pressure = ρgh

pressure (p) is measured in pascals (Pa)

density (ρ) is measured in kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m3)

The fore of gravitational field strength (g) is measured in N/kg or m/s 2

height of column (h) is measured in metres (m)

Answer = 235,200 Pa

Explanation:

Pressure = ρgh

Pressure = 1,000 x 9.8 x 24

Pressure = 235,200 Pa

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (
Vadim26 [7]
<span>Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.</span>

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(10)²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(100)

KE = \frac{1}{2} (60000)

KE = 30,000 J

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

y = x tanθ - 1/2 g x² / (u²cos²θ )

y = 0.25 , x = 0.5, θ = 40°

.25 = .50 tan40 - .5 x 9.8x x²/ u²cos²40

.25 = .42 - 2.0875/u²

u = 3.5 m / s.
