Answer: 3

Explanation: If you know the total current and the voltage across the whole circuit, you can find the total resistance using Ohm's Law: R = V / I. For example, a parallel circuit has a voltage of 9 volts and total current of 3 amps. The total resistance RT = 9 volts / 3 amps = 3 Ω.

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances. Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor.

Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.

The earth rotates once per day about its axis. where would you have to stand in order to have the smallest tangential speed?

Yuliya22 [10]

<span>The earth as a whole rotates with a fixed angular velocity. Therefore, you need to be at the rotation axis to have the smallest tangential speed. This would be at the north or south pole.</span>

A heavy ball with a weight of 100 NN is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.4-mm-long rope. The ball is pulled to one

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

175.3 N

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a uniform circular motion, therefore the net force on it must be equal to the centripetal force.

There are two forces acting on the ball at the lowest point of motion:

- The tension in the string, T , upward

- The weight of the ball, $mg$ , downward

The net force (centripetal force) has the same direction as the tension (upward, towards the centre of the circular path), so we can write:

$T-mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the right is the expression for the centripetal force, and where:

T is the tension in the string

$mg=100 N$ is the weight of the ball

$m=\frac{mg}{g}=\frac{100}{9.8}=10.2 kg$ is the mass of the ball

v = 5.7 m/s is the speed of the ball at the lowest point

r = 4.4 m is the length of the rope, so the radius of the circle

Solving for T, we find the tension in the string:

$T=mg+m\frac{v^2}{r}=(100)+(10.2)\frac{5.7^2}{4.4}=175.3 N$

Why is acceleration not constant near the speed of light

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

because when an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass starts to increase exponentially, and would be infinite at the speed of light. It would therefore require MORE than an infinite amount of energy to accelerate even a single electron to the speed of light

Imagine that Kevin can instantly transport himself between Planet X and Planet Y. Which statement could be said about Kevin in t

Over [174]

What are the choices ?

Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation. A few of them might be . . .

-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.

-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.

   -- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).

   -- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.

   -- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)

-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
   if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.
