Which statement correctly describes the current in a circuit that is made up of any two resistors connected in series with a bat
jeyben [28]
The correct answer is
<span>C. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the same.

In fact, when resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same in each resistor. This is also equal to the current flowing in the circuit, so it is the same as the current flowing through the battery.</span>

A Jamaican Bobsled team hits the brakes on their sled so that decelerates at a uniform rate of 0.43 m/s^2. How long does it take
ankoles [38]

Answer:

20.05 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

v² = u² + 2as

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance

a = negative acceleration = - 0.43

s = distance = 86.5

v = 0

0 - 2(0.43)(86.5) = u²

74.39 = v²

U = sqrt(74.39)

U = 8.6249

From ;

t = Time in seconds

t = (v - u) / a

t = (0 - 8.6249) / - 0.43

t = 20.057
