Answer:
(a) 4.0334Ω
(b)parallel
Explanation:
for resistors connected in parallel;

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω



R2=1/0.2479
R2=4.0334Ω
(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.
Req = R1+R2
If the object, ends up with a positive charge, then it is missing electrons. if it is missing electrons, then it must have been removed form the object during the rubbing process.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.
The altitude is,

And the velocity can be written as,


From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is



Velocity of sound at this altitude is



Then the Mach number



So front stagnation temperature



Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K
Answer:
1917723.40119 m/s
Explanation:
m = Mass of deuteron = 
k = Boltzmann constant = 
T = Temperature = 
RMS velocity is given by

The RMS velocity of the deutrons is 1917723.40119 m/s
