Answer:

Current in circuit = 2 amp

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage of battery = 10 V

First Resistance R1 = 1 ohm

Second Resistance R2 = 4 ohm

Resistor connected in series

Find:

Current in circuit

Computation;

Resistor connected in series

So,

Total resistance R = First Resistance R1 + Second Resistance R2

Total resistance R = 1 ohm + 4 ohm

Total resistance R = 5 ohm

Current in circuit = V / R

Current in circuit = 10 / 5

Current in circuit = 2 amp

Happy Holidays!

Recall that:

Impulse = Change in Momentum = mass × change in velocity

Since both cars are identical and have the same initial velocity of 60 mph, them breaking to a stop means that they both experience the same change in velocity.

Thus, both of the cars' impulses are equal.

Answer:

wavelenght

Explanation:

The wavelength is the spatial period of a wave, analogous to the temporal period, it is the distance between two consecutive points with maximum amplitude that are repeated in space . In the waves of the sea, the wavelength is easily observed in the separation between two consecutive ridges.

Projectile A is launched horizontally at a speed of 20. Meters per second from the top of a cliff and strikes a level surface be

miv72 [106K]

consider the motion of projectile A in vertical direction :

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile A in vertical direction = 0 m/s (since the projectile was launched horizontally)

a = acceleration of the projectile = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for projectile A = 3.0 seconds

Y = vertical displacement of projectile A = height of the cliff = h = ?

using the kinematics equation along the vertical direction as

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

h = (0) (3.0) + (0.5) (9.8) (3.0)²

h = 44.1 m

The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s. The speed of light in air is approximately 3 x 108 m/s. If 10 seconds elapse

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3400 m

Explanation:

Both lightning and thunder happen at the same time but one is faster than the other. The distance traveled by a sound can be calculated from its speed such that;

speed = distance/time, hence, distance = speed x time.

<em>For a thunder with 340 m/s speed and 10 seconds away from lightning, the distance between the thunder and the lightning can be calculated as</em>;

distance = 340 m/s x 10 s = 3400 m
