Answer:

(1) 2 ohms

(2) 12 Volts Across each resistor

(3) I₁ = 3 A, I₂ = 2 A, I₃ = 1 A

Explanation:

From the question,

(1) Equilvalent Resistance (Rt) for parallel connection is

1/Rt =(1/R₁)+ (1/R₂) + (1/R₃)

Where R₁ = 4 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms, R₃ = 12 ohms

1/Rt = 1/4 +1/6 +1/12

1/Rt = (3+2+1)/12

1/Rt = 6/12

1/Rt = 1/2

Rt = 2 ohms.

(2) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, They will have the same potential difference across them,

Hence the P.d across each resistor = 12 Volts.

(3) For R₁,

I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/4

I₁ = 3 A.

For R₂,

I₂ = V/R₂

I₂ = 12/6

I₂ = 2 A

For R₃,

I₃ = V/R₃

I₃ = 12/12

I₃ = 1 A

3) Principles of rectilinear proportion of light 9​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:Principle of rectilinear propagation of light

Explanation:Principle of rectilinear propagation of light

Rectilinear propagation of light refers to the propensity of light to travel along a straight line without any interference in its trajectory. ... It is because light travels along a straight line and leaves only the areas where the object interferes.

On a bet, you try to remove water from a glass by blowing across the top of a vertical straw immersed in the water. What is the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation

        P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw

The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of ​​the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0

The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m

We substitute in the equation

         P_{atm} + ρ g y₁ = P_{atm} + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

         ½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)

        v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)

Let's calculate

        v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)

       v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Kyle is flying a helicopter at 125 m/s on a heading of 325 o . If a wind is blowing at 25 m/s toward a direction of 240.0 o , wh
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter (\vec v_{H}), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind (\vec v_{W}), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind (\vec v_{H/W}), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W} (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha) (2)

Where:

\|\vec v\| - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

\alpha - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W}) (3)

\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)

If we know that \|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}, \|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ} and \alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}, then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is \vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right).
