Answer:

4A

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.

You have landed on an unknown planet, newtonia, and want to know what objects will weigh there. you find that when a certain too
AleksandrR [38]
Refer to the diagram shown.

Because the surface is frictionless, the resistive for, R, is zero.

Let m = the mass of the object.
Let a =  acceleration due to the applied force.
Therefore
12.7 N = (m kg)*(a m/s²)
a = 12.7/m  m/s²

The object travels  16.1 m in 2.5 s, starting from rest. Therefore
16.1 N = (1/2)*(12.7/m m/s²)*(2.5 s)² = 39.6875/m  N
m = 16.1/39.6875 = 0.4057 kg

For freefall, let g =  acceleration due to gravity.
The time to fall from 10.3 m is 2.88 s, therefore
10.3 m = (1/2)*(g m/s²)*(2.88 s)² = 4.1472g m
g = 10.3/4.1472 = 2.484 m/s²

Answer:
The gravitational acceleration on the planet is 2.5 m/s² (nearest tenth)

The magnetic north pole changes location but the geographic north pole does not true or false
a_sh-v [17]
The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole. So yes true

According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown, what would best represent the
iren2701 [21]

The  best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light

the best represent the size of visible light is Protozoa, According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown,
