What would the overall resistance be in a series circuit if there's an unknown R, 3Ω,3Ω and a current of 2A?

Answer:

R + 6 ohms

Explanation:

The current is the same in all three resistors

i = 2 amps

The problem is that the total voltage is unknown.

R = r

R1 =3 ohms

R2 = 3 ohms

The voltage drop is E = I*R

I = 2 amps

R1 = 3 ohms

R1 = 3 ohms

E = 3*2 = 6 volts

The second 3 ohm resistor also has 6 volts across it.

The total is 12 volts so far. But we know nothing more on how to solve for R.

All you can say is that the total resistance = R + 6 ohms

Nonexist venus is much farther from the sun than mercury is. yet average temperatures on venus's surface are much higher than th
gulaghasi [49]
Hello there my friend, the venus has its atmosphere mainly composed of carbon dioxide gas which is one of the greenhouse gases. When sun light hit venus, it passes through the CO2 layer and warm up the venus surface, and the surface emits infrared radiation which can't penetrate the CO2 layer and is retained in Venus, thus Venus is heated up significantly. On the other hand Mercury dont have as much CO2 as Venus, and greenhouse effect is eliminated and heat is dissipated quicker.

Answer:

Explanation:

Wt = ρVg

Wt = ρ(πD²/4)hg

Wt = 7800(π0.0275²/4)0.94(9.81)

Wt = 42.72152359...

The Chemical make-up of Earth's atmosphere during the cretaceous period
Ira Lisetskai [31]

There are indications that the cretaceous atmosphere may have been much richer in oxygen. Today, Earth's atmosphere contains about 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% water vapor, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide, with traces of about a dozen other gases.

What causes the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane to be less than that of the lever
kondor19780726 [428]
An inclined plane has less of a mechanical advantage because it has to have more work to take so,etching up than down. I hope this makes sense.
