Answer:

1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) 0.5 A

3) 3.6 V

Explanation:

1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.

Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3

Making Rt the subject gives;

Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)

Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;

Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

We are given;

R1 = 7.2 Ω

R2 = 8 Ω

R3 = 12 Ω

R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))

R_total = 7.2 + 4.8

R_total = 12 Ω

Formula for current is;

I = V/R

I = 6/12

I = 0.5 A

3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.

Thus, potential difference through R1 is;

V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V

How to find instantaneous velocity physics?
evablogger [386]
You should have the velocity as a function of time either given explicitly or implicitly (a graph)

v = ds/dt  (differentiating the position vector)

integrating the acceleration.

you can use impulse or work and energy principle and also newton law of motion to find acceleration then velocity


NOT SURE IF THAT WHAT YOU WANT.

What is the wavelength of a radar signal that has a frequency of 27 GHz? The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. Answer in units of m
marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

speed of light= c

wave length= L

frequency= f

c=Lf → L= c/f → L= 3 × 10⁸/ 27 × 10⁹ → L = 1/90 ≈ 0.011 m

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of projectile = 45°

speed = v₁ = 150 m/s

for second trail

speed = v₂ = ?

angle of projectile = 37°

maximum height attained formula,

H_{max}= \dfrac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{g}

now,

H_{max}= \dfrac{v_1^2 sin^2(\theta_1)}{g}

H_{max}= \dfrac{v_2^2 sin^2(\theta_2)}{g}

now, equating both the equations

\dfrac{v_2^2}{v_1^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(\theta_1)}{sin^2(\theta_2)}

\dfrac{v_2^2}{150^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(45^0)}{sin^2(37^0)}

   v₂² = 31061.79

   v₂ = 176.24 m/s

velocity of projectile would be equal to v₂ = 176.24 m/s

If a stone is dropped from a height of 400 feet, its height after t seconds is given by s = 400 − 16t2. Find its instantaneous v
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

v = -32 t

Explanation:

given,

s = 400- 16 t²

we know,

Velocity of an object is defined as the change in displacement per unit change in time.

velocity an also be return as

v = \dfrac{ds}{dt}

v = \dfrac{d}{dt}(400-16t^2)

v= 0 -2\times 16 t

v = -32 t

Hence, instantaneous velocity function given by v = -32 t

To calculate instantaneous velocity, you need to insert value of time.

ex, instantaneous velocity at t = 4 s

       v = -32 x 4 = -128 m/s.
