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.

If a substance has a density of 2.7g/cm3 and a mass of 86.4g, what is its volume?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

32cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Density of substance  = 2.7g/cm³

   Mass of substance  = 86.4g

Unknown:

Volume of substance  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

    Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since the unknown is volume we solve for it;

   mass  = density x volume

   86.4 = 2.7 x volume

    volume  = \frac{86.4}{2.7}   = 32cm³

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

Find deacceleration An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The deceleration is  a = -0.7273 \ m/s^2  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of the car from the crossing is d = 360 \  m

   The speed is u  = 16 \  m/s

    The reaction time of the engineer is  t = 0.53 \ s

Generally the distance covered during the reaction time is  

      d_r = u * t

=>   d_r = 16 * 0.53

=>   d_r = 8.48 \ m

Generally distance of the car from the crossing after the  engineer reacts is

      D = d- d_r        

=> D = 360 - 8.48      

=> D = 352 \ m

Generally from kinematic equation

      v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here v is the final velocity of the car which is  0 m/s

So

        0^2 = 16^2 + 2 * a * 352

=>    a = -0.7273 \ m/s^2

Force F = − + ( 8.00 N i 6.00 N j ) ( ) acts on a particle with position vector r = + (3.00 m i 4.00 m j ) ( ) .
jek_recluse [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F=((-8i)+6j)\ N

Position of the particle, r=(3i+4j)\ m

(a) The toque on a particle about the origin is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=((-8i)+6j) \times (3i+4j)

Taking the cross product of above two vectors, we get the value of torque as :

\tau=(0+0-50k)\ N-m

(b) Let \theta is the angle between r and F. The angle between two vectors is given by :

cos\theta=\dfrac{r.F}{|r|.|F|}

cos\theta=\dfrac{(3i+4j).((-8i)+6j)}{(\sqrt{3^2+4^2} ).(\sqrt{8^2+6^2}) }

cos\theta=\dfrac{0}{50}

\theta=90^{\circ}

The thrust from a car is 2000 N. The air resistance and friction together total 680 N. What happens to the speed of the car?
zheka24 [161]
The car will speed up because if the air resistance and friction forces are reacting in the direction opposite to the Applied force, The Net force will still be in the direction of the car's motion and since F=ma a will cause your velocity to increase
