Answer:
(a) 2.33 A
(b) 15.075 V
Explanation:
From the question,
The total resistance (Rt) = R1+R2 = 3.85+6.47
R(t) = 10.32 ohms.
Applying ohm's law,
V = IR(t)..........equation 1
Where V = Emf of the battery, I = current flowing through the circuit, R(t) = combined resistance of both resistors.
Note: Since both resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same.
Therefore,
I = V/R(t)............. Equation 2
Given: V = 24 V, R(t) = 10.32 ohms
Substitute these values into equation 2
I = 24/10.32
I = 2.33 A.
Hence the current through R1 = 2.33 A.
V2 = IR2.............. Equation 3
V2 = 2.33(6.47)
V2 = 15.075 V
Answer:
1.23 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
v = 11.1 m/s
t = 9 s
Find: a
Equation:
v = at + v₀
Plug in:
11.1 m/s = a (9 s) + 0 m/s
a = 1.23 m/s²
The runner's acceleration is 1.23 m/s².
