<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>

A spring loaded toy shoots straight upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. Determine the maximum height it reaches. Determine the ti
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Recall that

{v_y}^2-{v_{0y}}^2=2a_y(y-y_0)

At its maximum height y_{\mathrm{max}}, the toy will have 0 vertical velocity, so that

-\left(4.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)y_{\mathrm{max}}

\implies y_{\mathrm{max}}=1.0\,\mathrm m

For the toy to reach this maximum height, it takes time t such that

\dfrac{0+v_0}2t=y_{\mathrm{max}}\implies t=0.46\,\mathrm s

which means it takes twice this time, i.e. t=0.92\,\mathrm s, for the toy to reach its original position.

The velocity of the toy when it falls 1.0 m below its starting point is

{v_y}^2-\left(4.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(0-1.0\,\mathrm m)

\implies{v_y}^2=39.85\,\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

\implies v_y=-6.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where we took the negative square root because we expect the toy to be moving in the downward direction.

Which one of Newton’s Laws explains the motion of an object that is traveling with uniform circular motion?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A uniform circular motion is an example of accelerated motion.

When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion, there is a centripetal force acting towards the centre of the circular path and then a centrifugal force is also acting away from the centre of the circular path. The magnitude of the centripetal force and the centrifugal force is same but the direction is opposite to each other. So, it is explained by the Newton's third law.

Monica [59]

Given :

The mass of the balloon was 1890 kg and had a volume of 11,430 m3 .

The balloon floats at a constant height of 6.25m above the ground.

To Find :

The density of the hot air in the balloon.

Solution :

We know,

Volume × ( Density of surrounding air - Density of hot air ) = mass

Putting given values in above equation, we get :

11430\times ( 1.29 - \rho_{hot \ air } ) = 1890\\\\\rho_{hot \ air } = 1.29 - \dfrac{1890}{11430}\\\\\rho_{hot \ air } =  1.125\ kg\ m^3

Therefore, the density of hot air in the balloon is 1.125 kg m³.
