<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>

Nonamiya [84]
The equation for calculating the Work is very simple that is Work=Force x Displacement. We have a Force given as 209N and displacement = 10 meter.
Putting these values directly in the formula gives us Work = 209N x 10m
Work = 2090 Joule.

The weight of the bricks is not needed hear.

Answer:

How much force is required to cause an object with a mass of 850 kg to accelerate at a rate of 2 meters per second squared (m/s^2)?

Explanation:

<em>1700N </em>

<em> Mass multiplied by acceleration gives you the amount of force needed for it.</em>

A spring with a force constant of 5400 N/m and a rest length of 3.5 m is used in a catapult. When compressed to 1.0 m, it is use
BigorU [14]

Answer:

5.51 m

Explanation:

From the question,

The energy used to stretch the spring = the potential energy of the rock.

(1/2)ke²  = mgh ................. Equation 1

Where k = spring constant, e = extension/compression, m = mass of the rock, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the rock above the ground

make h the subject of the equation.

h = ke²/2mg ....................equation 2

Given: k = 5400 N/m, e = 1 m, m = 48 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 5400(1²)/(2×48×9.8)

h = 5400/940.8

h = 5.51 m.

Hence the height of the rock = 5.51 m
