We are given a series circuit with two light bulbs. In this case, the light bulbs act as resistors in series and the total resistance is:
That is the sum of all the resistances in series in the circuit. To determine the voltage we can use Ohm's law:
Where "R" is the total resistance and "I" is the current in the circuit. Replacing we get:
Answer:
Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd
Explanation:
The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is
d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd
The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:
Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was
d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
Answer:
Explanation:
We could use the following suvat equation:
where
s is the vertical displacement of the coin
v is its final velocity, when it hits the water
t is the time
g is the acceleration of gravity
Taking upward as positive direction, in this problem we have:
s = -1.2 m
And the coin reaches the water when
t = 1.3 s
Substituting these data, we can find v:
where the negative sign means the direction is downward.
