Explanation:

General relativity is a theory of space and time. ... The central idea of general relativity is that space and time are two aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved when there is matter, energy, and momentum resulting in what we perceive as gravity. The links between these forces are shown in the Einstein field equations.

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a

Answer:

Turn the heater on

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.

A diagram of a closed circuit with a power source on the left labeled 120 V. There are 3 resistors in parallel, separate paths,

Zina [86]

1) The equivalent resistance is $2.73\Omega$

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

where $R_1, R_2, R_3$ are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

$R_1 = 5.0 \Omega$

$R_2 = 10.0 \Omega$

$R_3 = 15.0 \Omega$

Substituting,

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}$

So the equivalent resistance is

$R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega$

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

$V=120 V$
