Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Parallel Connection of Resistances</u>

If resistances R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

It's known the 10 parts or resistance R/10 were connected in parallel, thus the electric resistance is:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+...+\frac{1}{R/10}

Note the sum consists of 10 equal terms. Operating on each term:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}

The sum of 10 identical fractions yields 10 times each fraction:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}

Solving for Re needs to take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation:

R_e=R/100

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

An empty graduated cylinder weighs 55.26 g. When filled with 48.1 mL of an unknown liquid, it weighs 92.39 g. The density of the

<h2>Density of the unknown liquid is 771.93 kg/m³</h2>

Explanation:

An empty graduated cylinder weighs 55.26 g

Weight of empty cylinder = 55.26 g = 0.05526 kg

Volume of liquid filled = 48.1 mL = 48.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Weight of cylinder plus liquid = 92.39 g = 0.09239 kg

Weight of liquid = 0.09239 - 0.05526

Weight of liquid = 0.03713 kg

We have

        Mass = Volume x Density

        0.03713 = 48.1 x 10⁻⁶ x Density

        Density = 771.93 kg/m³

Density of the unknown liquid is 771.93 kg/m³

A mover loads a 100 kg box into the back of a moving truck by
NeX [460]

Answer:

2.7

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of box = 100 Kg

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

Mechanical advantage of a ramp is simply defined as the ratio of the length of the ramp to the height of the ramp. Mathematically, it is given by:

Mechanical Advantage = Lenght / height

MA= L/H

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage of the ramp as follow:

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

MA = 4/1.5

MA = 2.7

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.7
