Answer:
3.26mph
Explanation:
To calculate speed, use the formula distance/time. In this case, just divide 14.7 by 4.5.
The sun. lol. It is closer to Earth, therefore bigger to us, and not just a small point of light.
Two resistors in series are often called a 'voltage divider', because the
total voltage divides in proportion to the resistances.
The total resistance in the string across the battery is (11 + 6) = 17 ohms.
-- The full battery voltage appears across 17 ohms.
-- The voltage across the 11-ohms is (11/17) of the battery, and
-- the voltage across the 6-ohms is (6/17) of the battery.
(6/17) x (B) = 9 volts
Multiply each side by (17/6) : B = (9 volts) x (17/6) =<em> 25.5 volts </em>.
By the way, in case you care or are asked . . .
-- The current in the whole series loop is B/R = 25.5 / 17 = 1.5 Amperes
-- The power drawn from the battery is B²/R = (25.5)²/17 = 38.25 watts
-- The power dissipated by the 6-ohm resistor is V²/R = 9²/6 = 13.5 watts
-- The power dissipated by the 11-ohm resistor is I²R = (1.5)² (11) = 24.75W
-- (Check: 13.5W + 24.75W = 38.25W yay! )
-- If they're just composition units hanging out in the air, then both resistors
are getting quite warm.
