Answer:

51 Ω.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance of R₁ and R₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 40 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 70.8 Ω

Equivalent Resistance of R₁ and R₃ (R₁ₙ₃) =?

Since the two resistors are in parallel connection, their equivalent can be obtained as follow:

R₁ₙ₃ = R₁ × R₃ / R₁ + R₃

R₁ₙ₃ = 40 × 70.8 / 40 + 70.8

R₁ₙ₃ = 2832 / 110.8

R₁ₙ₃ = 25.6 Ω

Finally, we shall determine the equivalent resistance of the group. This can be obtained as follow:

Equivalent Resistance of R₁ and R₃ (R₁ₙ₃) = 25.6 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 25.4 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?

Rₑq = R₁ₙ₃ + R₂ (series connection)

Rₑq = 25.6 + 25.4

Rₑq = 51 Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the group is 51 Ω.

the electrostatic force between two objects is 40N. if the charge of one object is cut in half, and the distance is doubled, wha

n200080 [17]

Answer:

F1 = K Q1 Q2 / R1^2

F2 = K Q1 / 2 * Q2 / (2 R1)^2

F2 / F1 = 1/2 / 4 = 1/8

The new force is 5N (1/2 due to charge and 1/4 due to distance)

A skier of mass 103 kg comes down a slopeof constant angle 32◦with the horizontal.What is the force on the skier parallel tothe

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

534.9 N

Explanation:

The skier weight is his mass times gravitational acceleration g

W = mg = 103 * 9.8 = 1009.4 N

This weight can be divided into 2 components, one perpendicular and the other parallel to the 32-degree slope. The parallel component would equal to

$Wsin(32^0) = 1009.4sin(32^0) = 534.9 N$

Refraction:

Refraction is caused by any wave crossing the boundary out of one substance and into another one. The two different substances may be no more than two parcels of air at different temperatures.

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.

labwork [276]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

$W=K_f -K_i$

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

$K_i = 66,120 J$ is the initial kinetic energy of the car

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

$K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J$

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s$
