Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Resistance</u>

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}$

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}$

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}$

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}$

Taking the reciprocals:

$R_e=R/100$

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

(b) $F=1.344(10)^{-6}N$

(c) The force of Jupiter on the baby is slightly greater than the the force of the father on the baby.

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation, which is a classical physical law that describes the gravitational interaction between different bodies with mass:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$ (1)

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>(a) Gravitational force Father exertes on baby</h2>

Using equation (1) and taking into account the mass of the father $m_{1}=100kg$ , the mass of the baby $m_{2}=4.20kg$ and the distance between them $r=0.2m$ , the force $F_{F}$ exerted by the father is:

$F_{F}=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(100kg)(4.20kg)}{(0.2m)^2}$ (2)

$F_{F}=0.0000007N=7(10)^{-7}N$ (3)

<h2>(b) Gravitational force Jupiter exertes on baby</h2>

Using again equation (1) but this time taking into account the mass of Jupiter $m_{J}=1.898(10)^{27}kg$ , the mass of the baby $m_{2}=4.20kg$ and the distance between Jupiter and Earth (where the baby is) $r_{E}=6.29(10)^{11}m$ , the force $F_{J}$ exerted by the Jupiter is:

$F_{J}=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.898(10)^{27}kg)(4.20kg)}{(6.29(10)^{11}m)^2}$ (4)

$F_{J}=0.000001344N=1.344(10)^{-6}N$ (5)

<h2>(c) Comparison</h2>

Now, comparing both forces:

$F_{J}=0.000001344N=1.344(10)^{-6}N$ and $F_{F}=0.0000007N=7(10)^{-7}N$ we can see $F_{J}$ is greater than $F_{F}$ . However, the difference is quite small as well as the force exerted on the baby.

Why are clouds considered to be a part of the hydrosphere?

It is considered parts of the Hydrosphere because water condenses in clouds and falls as precipitation so it is a vital part of the hydrosphere.

You are moving into an apartment and take the elevator to the 6th floor. Suppose your weight is 660 N and that of your belonging

Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight

My weight+weight of belongings

660+1100=1760N.

a. Work done by the elevator to travel a total height of 15.2m

Using newton law of motion

ΣF = ma

There are only two forces acting upward, the weight and the reaction by the elevator

Also note it is moving at constant velocity then, a=0

N - W=0

Then, N=W

N=1760N

So, workdone is given as

Wordone, =force × distance

Work done=1760×15.2

W=26,752J

W=26.752KJ

b. Work done on me alone is still need to go through the same process but will remove the weight of the belonging

Therefore,

Weight now = 660N

And using the same equation of motion

ΣF = ma

Comstant velocity, a=0

N - W=0

N=W

N=660N

Then, workdone

W=F×d

W=660×15.2

W=10,032J

W=10.032KJ

The transfer of electrons occurs because

alexira [117]

As opposed to ionic bonding in which a complete transfer of electrons occurs, covalent bonding occurs when two (or more) elements share electrons. Covalent bonding occurs because the atoms in the compound have a similar tendency for electrons (generally to gain electrons).
