Answer:

R = 4Ω

Explanation:

If we have two resistors with resistances R1 and R2 in series the total resistance is R = R1 + R2

If the resistances are in parallel, the total resistance is given by:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2.

First, we have a resistor with R1 = 1.5Ω

This resistor is connected in series with a parallel part (let's find the resistance of this parallel part), in one branch we have two resistors in series with resistances:

R2 = 8Ω and R3 = 4Ω

Because these are in series, the resistance of that branch is:

R = 8Ω + 4Ω = 12Ω

In the other branch, we have a single resistor of R4 = 4Ω

The resistance of the parallel part is:

1/R = 1/12Ω + 1/4Ω = 1/12Ω + 3/12Ω = 4/12Ω = 1/3Ω

1/R = 1/3Ω

R = 3Ω

Then we have a resistor (the first one, R1 = 1.5Ω) in series with a resistor of 3Ω.

Then the total resistance is:

R = 1Ω + 3Ω = 4Ω

Which best describes the relationship between humidity and air pressure?

spayn [35]

Answer:<span>Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.

The reason is the molecules of water are H2O, whose molar mass is 18 g/mol.

These molecules displaces molecules of N2 and O2, whose molar masses are:

N2: 2*14g/mol = 28 g/mol, and
O2: 2*16g/mol = 32 g/mol.

Then molecules of 28g/mol and 32 g/mol are being replaced with molecules of 18g/mol, leading to a lower weight of the same volume of air, which results in lower pressure.

Write down the principal of lever

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

A lever is a simple machine that changes the magnitude and direction of the force applied to move an object. Minimizes the force needed to lift the object.

By means of the following image, we can see the principle of operation of a lever.

The load can be moved thanks to the force multiplied by the distance to the fulcrum.
