Scalar quantity are physical quantities that have just magnitude, not direction.
- It is always positive.
- Examples: Speed, distance
Answer:
Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω
Explanation:
R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...
Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .
If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .
(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14 series combination of R1 & R4
R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25
The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel
R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788 this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3
R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler
