Answer:

The value of R₂ is equal to 24.75 ohms.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors, R₁ and R₂, are connected in parallel.

The equivalent resistance is 14.5 ohms

We need to find the value of R₂.

When two resistors are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{14.5}=\dfrac{1}{35}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_2}=\dfrac{1}{14.5}-\dfrac{1}{35}\\\\\dfrac{1}{R_2}=0.04039\\\\R_2=\dfrac{1}{0.04039}\\\\R_2=24.75\ \Omega$

So, the value of R₂ is equal to 24.75 ohms.

A motorcycle is traveling along a highway at 26 m/s. How far does the motorcycle travel in 15 s?

leva [86]

26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$
