Answer:
1 second
Explanation:
The impulse exerted on the boy is equal to its change of momentum:
where
F = 500 N is the push on the boy
is the contact time
m = 25 kg is the mass of the boy
is the change in velocity of the boy
Solving the formula for the contact time, we find
Answer:
1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) 0.5 A
3) 3.6 V
Explanation:
1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.
Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3
Making Rt the subject gives;
Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)
Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;
Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
We are given;
R1 = 7.2 Ω
R2 = 8 Ω
R3 = 12 Ω
R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))
R_total = 7.2 + 4.8
R_total = 12 Ω
Formula for current is;
I = V/R
I = 6/12
I = 0.5 A
3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.
Thus, potential difference through R1 is;
V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V
A geologist is studying rock layers in an old river bed, and he finds a fossil of a fish and a horsetail rush in the same rock layer. According to the law of faunal and floral succession, the geologist can assume that the rock containing the fossils may date back as far as the <span>Devonian period</span>.
<span> Space satellites, laser beams, mirrors</span> are used to calculate the distance a continent has moved in a year.
Therefore, your correct answer would be "all of the above".
