<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>

What is the relationship between the strength of an
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As the number of turns in the coil increases, the strength  of the electromagnet increases.

Explanation:

When current flows through a coil the coil behaves as an electromagnet. The strength of electromagnet depend the amount of current, no of turns of coil and the core of coil.

B=μ₀ N I

μ₀ = permeability of the core

N = Number of turns of the coil

I = Current flowing through the coil

Increasing the current and number of coils increase the strength of electromagnet.

stepan [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Physics gets involved in your daily life right from you wake up in the morning. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can't see, but hear or experience. Physics studies the origin, propagation, and properties of sound

A wire with a length of 150 m and a radius of 0.15 mm carries a current with a uniform current density of 2.8 x 10^7A/m^2. The c
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The current is 2.0 A.

(A) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 150 m

Radius = 0.15 mm

Current densityJ=2.8\times10^{7}\ A/m^2

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current density

J = \dfrac{I}{A}

I=J\timesA

Where, J = current density

A = area

I = current

Put the value into the formula

I=2.8\times10^{7}\times\pi\times(0.15\times10^{-3})^2

I=1.97=2.0\ A

Hence, The current is 2.0 A.

an 11 kg tool box is floating stationary in an orbiting spacecraft when a 79 kg astronaut, initially at rest, gives the tool box
snow_tiger [21]

The astronaut final velocity is 0.06 m/s to the right

Explanation:

In absence of external forces, the total momentum of the box-astronaut system is conserved.

At the beginnig, the total momentum of the two is zero, since they are at rest:

p_i = 0

While the final momentum, after the astronaut throws the box, is:

p_f=mv+MV

where

m = 11 kg is the mass of the box

M = 79 kg is the mass of the astronaut

v = -0.45 m/s (to the left) is the velocity of the box (we take left as negative direction)

V is the final velocity of the astronaut

The total momentum is conserved, so

p_i = p_f\\0=mv+MV

And solving , we find V:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(11)(-0.45)}{79}=0.06 m/s

And the positive sign indicates that the direction is to the right.

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.84 m/s2 at the instant when a second car moving with a velocity of 25.7 m/s pas
vredina [299]

Answer:

464.69 m

Explanation:

First car

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}2.84t^2\\\Rightarrow s=1.42t^2

Second car

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=25.7t

Here, the time taken and the distance traveled will be the same

Equating the two equations

1.42t^2=25.7t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{25.7}{1.42}\\\Rightarrow t=18.09\ s

So, the first would have to move 1.42t^2=1.42\times 18.09^2=464.69\ m in order to overtake the second car.
