Answer:
4 Ohms
Explanation
(This is seriously not as hard as it looks :)
You only need two types of calculations:
- replace two resistances, say, R1 and R2, connected in a series by a single one R. In this case the new R is a sum of the two:
- replace two resistances that are connected in parallel. In that case:
I am attaching a drawing showing the process of stepwise replacement of two resistances at a time (am using rectangles to represent a resistance). The left-most image shows the starting point, just a little bit "warped" to see it better. The two resistances (6 Ohm next to each other) are in parallel and are replaced by a single resistance (3 Ohm, see formula above) in the top middle image. Next, the two resistances (9 and 3 Ohm) are nicely in series, so they can be replaced by their sum, which is what happened going to the top right image. Finally we have two resistances in parallel and they can be replaced by a single, final, resistance as shown in the bottom right image. That (4 Ohms) is the <em>equivalent resistance</em> of the original circuit.
Using these two transformations you will be able to solve step by step any problem like this, no matter how complex.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
If we are talking about the kinetic energy of the cylinder of oxygen:
The kinetic energy possessed by any object is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its speed
In this case, we have one cylinder carried by a car and one standing on a platform: this means that the speed of the cylinder carried by the car will be different from zero (and so also its kinetic energy will be different from zer), while the speed of the cylinder standing on the platform will be zero (and so its kinetic energy also zero). Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car will be larger than that standing on a platform.
Instead, if we are talking about the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the molecules of oxygen inside the cylinder:
The kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas:
where k is called Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, we see that K does not depend on whether the gas is in motion or not, but only on its temperature - therefore, in this case there is no difference between the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car and that standing on the platform (assuming they are at the same temperature)
