Answer:

1 Ampere.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

Next, we shall determine the equivalent resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 20 ohm

Resistor (R₂) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

R = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

R = (20 × 20) / (20 + 20)

R = 400 / 40

R = 10 ohm

Finally, we shall determine the total current in the circuit. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Equivalent Resistance (R) = 10 ohm

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 10

Divide both side by 10

I = 10 / 10

I = 1 Ampere

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 1 Ampere.

1. Describe what conversation of momentum means.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

1. The conversation of momentum is when a person or object has momentum and transfers it to another person or object.

Explanation:

2. Like if someone is on a swing and kicks someone in front of him. He stops and the kid in front of him falls over because the momentum was transferred.

A 3.0 kg box is suspended by a series of ropes as shown below. The tension force in the horizontal rope is -40 N. What is the te

Nitella [24]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:

The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.

The horizontal component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0

F₂ = 40N

The vertical component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0

F₂ = mg

If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:

F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N

Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:

F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N

A 5000 kg open train car is rolling on frictionless rails at 22 m/s when it starts pouring rain. A few minutes later, the car’s

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

500 kg

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of a open train car, M = 5000 kg

Speed of open train car, V = 22 m/s

A few minutes later, the car’s speed is 20 m/s

We need to find the mass of water collected in the car. It is based on the conservation of momentum as follows :

initial momentum = final momentum

Let m is final mass

MV=mv

$m=\dfrac{MV}{v}\\\\m=\dfrac{5000\times 22}{20}\\\\=5500\ kg$

Water collected = After mass of train - before mass of train

= 5500 - 5000

= 500 kg

So, 500 kg of water has collected in the car.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) 0.660 g/ml

B) 1.297 ml

C) 0.272 g

Explanation:

Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes. This is where density $D$ appears as a physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass $m$ of a body or substance and the volume $V$ it occupies:
