<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) Attached to the response as Figure 1.

(b) 35.0Ω

(c) Across 5.0Ω = 1.3V

   Across 10.0Ω = 2.6Ω

   Across 20.0Ω = 5.2Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The labelled circuit using the correct symbols (for the resistors and battery) has been attached to this response.

(b) Since the resistors are hooked up in series, their equivalent resistance R, is found by adding the individual resistances of the resistors (R₁, R₂ and R₃). i.e

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃               -------------------(i)

Where;

R₁ = 5.0 Ω

R₂ = 10.0 Ω

R₃ = 20.0 Ω

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

∴ R = 5.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω + 20.0 Ω

∴ R = 35.0 Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is ∴ R = 35.0Ω

(c) When resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them. To get the current through each resistor;

i. First, replace the resistors by their equivalent resistor as calculated above. The diagram has been attached to this response.

ii. As seen in the diagram, the current flowing through the equivalent resistor can be calculated using Ohm's law as follows;

V = I R              ------------------(ii)

Where;

V = Voltage supplied to the circuit = 9.0V

I = Current through the circuit

R = Resistance of the equivalent resistor = 35.0Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii)

9.0 = I x 35.0

I = \frac{9.0}{35.0}

I = 0.26A

This is also the current flowing through each of the resistors separately.

iii. Calculate the voltage drop across

1.<em> 5.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 5.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 5.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 5.0Ω resistor = 5.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 5.0

=> V = 1.3V

2.<em> 10.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 10.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 10.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 10.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 10.0

=> V = 2.6V

3.<em> 20.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 20.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 20.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 20.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 20.0

=> V = 5.2V

Indicate the result of each of the following unit vector cross products (unit vector hat-symbols not shown): . kxi = . jxi= -jxk
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cross product of two vectors is given by

\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |Sin\theta \widehat{n}

Where, θ be the angle between the two vectors and \widehat{n} be the unit vector along the direction of cross product of two vectors.

Here, K x i = - j

As K is the unit vector along Z axis, i is the unit vector along X axis and j be the unit vector along  axis.

The direction of cross product of two vectors is given by the right hand palm rule.

So, k x i = j

j x i = - k

- j x k = - i

i x i = 0

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?
guapka [62]
A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state.  There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.

A jogger runs 20 mi West and then 6.0 mi North. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement.
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant displacement is 21 mi and its direction is 16.7° north of west

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please see the figure for a better understanding of the problem. The total displacement vector will be the sum of both displacements:

The vector for the first displacement is:

First displacement = (20 mi, 0)

The second displacement:

Second displacement = (0, 6.0 mi)

The resultant displacement will be:

R = (20 mi, 0) + (0, 6.0 mi) = (20 mi + 0, 0 + 6.0 mi) = (20 mi, 6.0 mi)

The magnitude of this vector will be:

|R| = \sqrt{(20 mi)^{2} + (6.0 mi)^{2}} = 21 mi

The magnitude of the vector displacement is 21 mi.

To find the direction of the vector R, we have to apply trigonometry:

In a right triangle the following trigonometric rule applies:

cos θ = adjacent side to the angle/ hypotenuse

In this case:

cos θ = 20 mi / magnitude of R

θ = 16.7°

The direction of the vector is 16.7° north of west.
