Answer:

The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Explanation:

We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.

We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.

Using ohm's law we have

V = I*R

V= voltage

I= current

R= resistance

10 = 2.5*R

R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm

that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.

since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.

\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2}\\                 = \frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{5}\\ \\                 = \frac{1+4}{20} =\frac{1}{4}

R(net) =4ohm

Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.

we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.

We know that the voltage in parallel remains same

In 20 ohm resistance

again using ohms law

V = i1*R1

10 = i1*20

i1 = 0.5A

in 5ohm resistor

V=i2*R2

10 = I2*5

i2 =2A

and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.

Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

QUESTION 12
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The target was higher than the cannon

Explanation:

Given that a cannon ball is launched with initial speed 56 m/s, and hits a target at speed 35 m/s.

The initial velocity must be 56 m/s, while the final velocity will be 35 m/s.

When an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity, the object continues to move upwards with decreasing in magnitude of velocity till it reaches the maximum height where the final velocity will be equal to zero.

In this question, since the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, we can conclude that the target is higher.

Therefore, the target was higher than the cannon.

AysviL [449]

Answer: 3333333222135790075

Explanation:Set term u equal to initial velocity for simplicity

Set V equal to final velocity for simplicity

2

To begin this problem, one must look at the system to have multiple stages. These being before and after hitting the puck. In these first few steps, we look at BEFORE the human hits the puck

3

This collision is elastic because the puck and the human do not join together after interaction

4

Because the initial velocity of both the puck and the human are both 0, the terms on the left of the equal sign become 0

5

Solving for the final velocity of the human gives this formula. This number should be negative as the negative indicates the direction he is going (left)

The final velocity of the puck is already given in the problem

6

Because the ice is frictionless, the final velocity before hitting the puck is equal to the initial velocity after hitting the puck

Now we begin to look at the system AFTER the puck has been hit

7

Using the formula for final position allows us to solve for time it takes the puck to travel the distance given

8

9

Solve for time

10

We can now use the formula for the final position of the human to solve for the final answer

11

12nuewnfunw

Plugging in formulas from steps 5 and 9 gives the final answer

<h2>Again, this number should be negative as the negative sign denotes the direction the human is going. Because the problem does not ask for snijndij   hinu9nub hvtj c  v7 yf jhmb tfgnb nb fyhgbv </h2>

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.4Vwhen operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated at
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

0.95 A

Explanation:

P = Power of bulb = 4 W

V = Voltage = 12 V

Power is given by

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{12^2}{4}\\\Rightarrow R=36\ \Omega

The connections are in Parallel

Equivalent resistance of these two bulb

\dfrac{36}{2}=18\ \Omega

Current from the source

I=\dfrac{11.4}{18}=0.63\ A

The voltage drop is

12-11.4=0.6\ V

Voltage drop is given by

\Delta V=R_iI\\\Rightarrow R_i=\dfrac{\Delta V}{I}\\\Rightarrow R_i=\dfrac{0.6}{0.63}\\\Rightarrow R_i=0.952380952381\ A

The internal resistance is 0.95 A
