In a parallel connection, the equivalent resistance is the summation of the inverse of each individual resistances. It is mathematically expressed as 1/ Req = 1/10 +1/20 + 1/25 = 5.263 ohms. Also, the voltage across each resistor is equal to the input voltage, therefore I = 100 / 10 = 10 Amps. I hope this helped you.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.

Calculate the angular velocity of the neptune (orbital period of 165 earth period) in its orbit around the sun.
ludmilkaskok [199]
The correct answer is: Angular velocity =  1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

Explanation:
The angular velocity is given as:
ω = \frac{2\pi}{T} --- (1)

Where T = 165 * (365 days) * (24 hours/day) * (60 minutes/hour) * (60 seconds/minute) = 5203440000 s

Plug in the value in (1):
ω = \frac{2\pi}{5203440000} = 1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

Consider a sphere and a cylinder of equal volume made of copper. Both the sphere and the cylinder are initially at the same temp
zepelin [54]

Answer: The cylinder

Explanation:

Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.

By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.

Recall;

That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.

Where ,

h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer

A= the cross sectional area.

As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.

Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.

PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.

expain why different atoms of the same element always have the same atomic number but can have different mass numbers what are t
anzhelika [568]
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom. This value never changes because the number of protons in the nucleus always remains constant. The mass number tells you the number of protons and neutrons (or nucleons) together: protons + neutrons = mass number. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus varies, you can have different amounts of neutrons in the same type of atom. These varied types are called isotopes.

Hope this helps.

A current of 2.0A flows through a light bulb. What is the amount of charge flowing through the light bulb in 40 seconds?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Quantity of charge = 80 Coulombs

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Current = 2 A

Time = 40 seconds

To find the amount of charge flowing through the light bulb;

Mathematically, the quantity of charge passing through a conductor is given by the formula;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Quantity of charge = 2 * 40

Quantity of charge = 80 Coulombs
