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

Frame S' passes frame S in the usual way (positive directions). An object also moves in the positive direction. Which is true? T
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is "The object's speed relative to S can be greater than or less than its speed relative to S', depending on the actual values."

Explanation:

The S' frame and the object are moving in a positive direction. The object is moving with respect to the S frame so the S frame the rest frame

take the velocity of the object with respect to the rest frame as v and the velocity of the S' frame with respect S frame as v2

relative velocity of the object to the S' frame would be

Vrel = v2- v

This means the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is less than the Vrel  of the object with respect to the S frame

However is the S' velocity is greater than that of the object then the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is greater than the Vrel of the object with respect to the S frame.

This would mean the second option is the answer, the relative speed of the object depends on the actual values.

w strong are you? Could you turn a moving car with just your own strength? No way! If a normal driver inputs about 50 N of force
malfutka [58]

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the measure of its amplified force gain.

The mechanical advantage  is defined as the force amplified by a machine to the force required to generate such output.

Mathematically\ mechanical\ advantage\ MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

F_{o} \ and\ F_{i} are the amplified force and applied force. We may also consider them as output and input force.          


In the given question, the force given to the steering wheel is 50 N.

The output force produced by the steering wheel is 3750 N.

Hence the mechanical advantage will be-

                               MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

                                       =\frac{3750\ N}{50\ N}

                                       =75      [ans]

Why do we feel the force of gravity from the Earth but we don’t feel the force of gravity from the moon?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the moon is less than on Earth because the strength of gravity is determined by an object's mass. The bigger the object, the bigger the gravitational force. Gravity is pretty much everywhere. We just feel it in different ways depending on our state of motion.
