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.

A 110 kg tackler moving at 2.5m/s meets head on (and holds on to) an 82 kg halfback moving at 5.0m/s. what will be their mutual

Leona [35]

Answer:

0.7 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using conservation of momentum.

Before the collision, the momentum of the first tackler is:

$p_1 = m_1 v_1 =(110 kg)(2.5 m/s)=275 kg m/s$

while the momentum of the second tackler is

$p_2 = m_2 v_2 =(82 kg)(-5.0 m/s)=-410 kg m/s$

Note that we used a negative sign because the direction of the second tackler is opposite to that of the first tackler.

Therefore, the total momentum before the collision is

$p_i = p_1 +p_2 =275 kg m/s -410 kg m/s=-135 kg m/s$

Since the total momentum is conserved, this is also equal to the final total momentum :

$p_f = -135 kg m/s$

Which is also equal to

$p_f = (m_1 +m_2 )v_f$

since the two tacklers continue their motion together with final velocity vf. Re-arranging the previous equation, we can find the the new velocity of the two tacklers:

$v_f = \frac{p_f}{m_1 +m_2}=\frac{-135 kg m/s}{110 kg + 82 kg}=-0.7 m/s$

and the negative sign means the direction is the one of the second tackler.
