Answer:

1. Rₑq = 4 Ω

2. R₂ = 6 Ω

3. Vₜ = 12 V, V₁ = 12 V, V₂ = 12 V

4. Iₜ = 3 A, I₁ = 1 A, I₂ = 2 A

Explanation:

1. Determination of the equivalent resistance

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 3 A

Resistance (Rₑq) =?

V= IRₑq

12 = 3 × Rₑq

Divide both side by 3

Rₑq = 12 / 3

Rₑq = 4 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance (Rₑq) = 4 Ω

2. Determination of R₂.

Equivalent resistance (Rₑq) = 4 Ω

Resistance 1 (R₁) = 12 Ω

Resistance 2 (R₂)

Since the resistor are in parallel arrangement, the value of R₂ can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = R₁ × R₂ / R₁ + R₂

4 = 12 × R₂ / 12 + R₂

Cross multiply

4(12 + R₂) = 12R₂

48 + 4R₂ = 12R₂

Collect like terms

48 = 12R₂ – 4R₂

48 = 8R₂

Divide both side by 8

R₂ = 48 / 8

R₂ = 6 Ω

3. Determination of the total voltage (Vₜ), V₁ and V₂.

From the question given above, the total voltage is 12 V

Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, the same voltage will go through them.

Thus,

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = 12 V

4. Determination of the total current (Iₜ), I₁ and I₂

From the question given above, the total current (Iₜ) is 3 A

Next, we shall determine I₁. Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, different current will pass through each resistor respective.

Vₜ = V₁ = 12 V

R₁ = 12 Ω

I₁ =?

V₁ = I₁R₁

12 = I₁ ×12

Divide both side by 12

I₁ = 12 / 12

I₁ = 1 A

Next, we shall determine I₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Iₜ = 3 A

I₁ = 1 A

I₂ =?

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂

3 = 1 + I₂

Collect like terms

I₂ = 3 – 1

I₂ = 2 A

A tub of water is placed in a small room and heat is removed from the room. What will most likely occur if enough heat is remove
NARA [144]

Answer:

(A)The water will freeze.

Explanation:

Heat is the energy that when transferred causes change in temperature. If heat is added to a body by some process the bodies temperature increases and if heat is removed from a body by some process the temperature reduces.

In this case if enough heat is removed from the room the internal movement of the water particles will slow down causing the water to form crystal lattice thus forming ice. So, the water will freeze.

A fishing boat accidentally spills 3.0 barrels of diesel oil into the ocean. each barrel contains 42 gallons. if the oil film on
9966 [12]

Number of barrels are 3.0. Each barrel contains 42 gallons of oil. Thus, total volume of oil will be 42×3=126 gallons.

Converting gallons into m^{3}

1 gallon=0.00378 m^{3}

Thus, 126 gallons=0.4769 m^{3}

Thickness of oil film is 2.5\times 10^{2} nm, converting it into meters as follows:

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Thus,

2.5\times 10^{2} nm=1.5\times 10^{-7}m

Now, volume V of oil is related to area A and thickness T as follows:

V=A×T

rearranging,

A=\frac{V}{T}=\frac{0.4769 m^{3}}{2\times 10^{-7}m}=2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}

Thus, square meters of oil will be 2.38\times 10^{6}m^{2}
