A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

the vessel. Can the vessel outrun the torpedo if both continue in a straight line due north?
A) Yes, the Navy vessel is faster

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

C) Maybe, since both travel at the same speed

D) Maybe, based on the temperature of the water

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

Four wires are made of the same highly resistive material, cut to the same length, and connected in series. Wire 1 has resistanc
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Explanation:

The 4 wires are connected in series: this means that the same current flow through them, and the voltage of the battery, V0, is equal to the sum of the voltages on each individual resistor:

V_0=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4

Also, the equivalent resistance of the series circuit is

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

The voltage V2 across wire 2 is given by Ohm's law:

V_2 = R_2 I (1)

where I is the total current in the circuit, which is given by:

I=\frac{V_0}{R_{eq}}=\frac{V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Substituting this into eq. (1), we find an expression for V2:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}
