Answer:

Req = 50 Ω

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance is basically the sum of all the resistances in a circuit.

The sum of these resistances will depend whether these resistance are in series or parallel.

If the resistances are on series, the expression to use is:

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + .......Rₙ (1)

If the resistances are on parallel then the expression to use is:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ........1/Rₙ (2)

Now, according to the picture, we have R₁ and R₄ in series, so here we have to use (1):

R₁₄ = 10 + 30 = 40 Ω

R₂ and R₃ are in parallel so we use (2):

1/R₂₃ = 1/20 + 1/20 = 2/20 = 1/10

R₂₃ = 10 Ω

Finally, R₁₄ and R₂₃ are in series (Because of the sum of the resistance in each side, they are now forming one resistance in each side), therefore, we use (1) again to get the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit:

Req = 10 + 40

Hope this helps

Acceleration question plz help

andrezito [222]

For #5 It's helpful to draw a free body diagram so you know which way the forces are acting on the block.

the weight mg is acting downwards, and you need to find the vertical and horizontal components of mg using sin and cosine. so do 15x9.8xsin40 which is the force. Assuming no friction, this is the only force acting on the block, as the forces on the vertical plane cancel out i.e the normal force and weight of the block.

after, just do F=ma And since you know F and m, solve for a.

Europe saw a rise in the middle class during the 17th and 18th centuries. Which members of the middle class gained power and wea

Rom4ik [11]

I am absolutely sure that the members of the middle class which gained power and wealth during this time are land owners. I consider the first option to be the correct one because during the 17th and 18th centuries land sphere incredicly expanded and spreaded all over the Europe. Hope it will help!

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum

ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.
