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

Two or more velocities add by ____?<br><br> Plz help
VladimirAG [237]
By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The lifetime of the particle is  \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The average rest energy is E =  91.19 \ GeV =  91.19GeV  *    \frac{1.60 *10^{-10} J }{1GeV} = 1.46 *10^{-8}J

    The intrinsic width is  \Delta E  =2.5eV  = 2.5GeV   *  \frac{1.60 *10^{-10}J  }{1GeV}  =  4*10^{-10} J

The lifetime is mathematically represented as

     \Delta  t  =  \frac{h}{\Delta E}

Where h is the Planck's constant with a value of  1.055*10^{-34} \ J\cdot s  

substituting values

    \Delta  t  =  \frac{1.055*10^{-34}}{4 *10^{-10}}

     \Delta  t  =  2.6*10^{-25} \ s

g An object with mass m=2 kg is completely submerged, and tethered, to the bottom of a large body of water. If the density of th
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 20 N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, M = 2 kg

Density of water, \rho_{w} = 1000\ kg/m^{3}

Density of the object, \rho_{ob} = 500\kg/m^{3}

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10\ m/s^{2}

Now,

From the fig.1:

'N' represents the Bouyant force and T represents tension in the rope.

Suppose, the volume of the block be V:

V = \frac{M}{\rho_{ob}}              (1)

Also, we know that Bouyant force is given by:

N = \rho_{w}Vg

Using eqn (1):

N = \rho_{w}\frac{M}{\rho_{ob}}g

N = 1000\frac{2}{500}\times 10 = 40\ N

From the fig.1:

N = Mg + T

40 = 2(10) + T

T = 40 - 20 = 20 N

N = \rho_{w}Vg
