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

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

A pendulum has 711 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o

Anika [276]

According to law of conservation of energy,
Energy can neither be constructed nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

At the highest point of the pendulum(point b), pendulum is associated with potential energy only and no kinetic energy.
Therefore total energy at point b = potential energy = 711 J.... i

At the bottom most point(point a), pendulum is associated only with kinetic energy and no potential energy.
Therefore total energy at point a = kinetic energy ---- ii
From i and ii,
Kinetic energy = potential energy = 711 J.(Conserving energy)

Hence kinetic energy at the bottom most point is 711 J.

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is

il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

The time that the car take to catch up to truck would be :

1/2 ar^2 = vt

1/2 (3) t^2 = 15t

1.5 t^2 = 15t

t ^2 = 10s
