Answer:

<em>The current is 1 A</em>

Explanation:

<u>Current in a Series Connection </u>

When two or more elements are connected in series, all of them have the same current, and the sum of their individual voltages is the total voltage applied to the circuit.

According to Ohm's law:

V=R.I

Where V is the voltage, R is the resistance and I is the current of a circuit.

We have a voltage of V=1.5 V + 1.5 V = 3 V and a resistance of R=3 ohms.

We can calculate the current by solving for I:

$\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{3}{3}=1\ A$

The current is 1 A

Which of these cultures did NOT make major contributions to astronomy?

Svetlanka [38]

I can't particularly place what Icelandic contributed.

But every other culture contributed majorly.

So I would go for option b.

You set out to design a car that uses the energy stored in a flywheel consisting of a uniform 101-kg cylinder of radius r that h

Ket [755]

Ok, assuming "mj" in the question is Megajoules MJ) you need a total amount of rotational kinetic energy in the fly wheel at the beginning of the trip that equals
(2.4e6 J/km)x(300 km)=7.2e8 J
The expression for rotational kinetic energy is

E = (1/2)Iω²

where I is the moment of inertia of the fly wheel and ω is the angular velocity.
So this comes down to finding the value of I that gives the required energy. We know the mass is 101kg. The formula for a solid cylinder's moment of inertia is

I = (1/2)mR²

We want (1/2)Iω² = 7.2e8 J and we know ω is limited to 470 revs/sec. However, ω must be in radians per second so multiply it by 2π to get
ω = 2953.1 rad/s
Now let's use this to solve the energy equation, E = (1/2)Iω², for I:
I = 2(7.2e8 J)/(2953.1 rad/s)² = 165.12 kg·m²

Now find the radius R,

165.12 kg·m² = (1/2)(101)R²,
√(2·165/101) = 1.807m

R = 1.807m

Complete Question

A football coach walks 18 meters westward, then 12 meters eastward, then 28 meters westward, and finally 14 meters eastward.

From this motion what is the distance covered

What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement

Answer:

$D = 72 \ m$

Magnitude

$d = - 20 \ m$

Direction

West

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance covered westward is $d_w_1 = 18 \ m /tex] The first distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e1 = 12 \ m /tex] The second distance covered westward is [tex]d_w_2 = 28 \ m /tex] The second distance covered eastward is [tex]d_e2 = 14 \ m /tex] Generally the distance covered is mathematically represented as [tex]D = d_w1 + d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2$

=> $D = 18 + 28 + 12 + 14$

=> $D = 72 \ m$

For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative

The magnitude of the displacement is

$d = -d_w1 -d_w2 + d_e1 + d_e2$

=> $d = -18-28 + 12 + 14$

=> $d = - 20 \ m$

The direction is west

reviews the approach taken in problems such as this one. A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 0.916 km due east, 0

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Displacement: 2.230 km Average velocity: 1.274 $\frac{km}{h}$

Explanation:

Let's represent displacement by the letter S and the displacement in direction 49.7° as A. Displaement is a vector, so we need to decompose all the bird's displacement into their X-Y compoments. Let's go one by one:

0.916 km due east is an horizontal direction and cane be seen as direction towards the negative side of X-axis.

0.928 km due south is a vertical direction and can be seen as a direction towards the negative side of Y-axis.
3.52 km in a direction of 49.7° has components on X and Y axes. It is necessary to break it down using trigonometry,

First of all. We need to sum all the X components and all the Y componets.

∑ $Sx = Ax -0.916$ ⇒ ∑ $Sx = [tex]3.52cos(49.7) - 0.916$
