A 100 Ohm, 200 Ohm, and 400 Ohm resistors are in parallel with each other. What is the equivalent

Answer:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/1 + 1/2 + 1/4 = 1 + .5 + .25 = 1.75

1/1.75 = .572

multiplying this by 100 gives us

R = 57.2 ohms

The smallest resistor (100 ohms) will draw the most current

(One can also use R = R1 R2 R3 / (R1 R2 + R1 R3 + R2 R3)

Hi there!

We can use the following equation to solve for equivalent resistance:


\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_n}

We can plug in the givens and solve.

\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{100} + \frac{1}{200} + \frac{1}{400} \\\\\frac{1}{R_T} = 0.175\\\\R_T = \frac{1}{0.175} = \boxed{57.143 \Omega}

The resistor that would draw the most current is the 100 Ohm resistor because current chooses the path of LEAST RESISTANCE. This can also be proved mathematically with the following:

For resistors in parallel, the POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE (VOLTAGE) is the same.

Since I = V/R, a smaller 'R' means a larger 'I'. Thus, the smallest resistor would have the greatest current through it.

how much work does tension do on the laptop as it moves 2.0 mm ? express your answer with the appropriate units.
8090 [49]

The work done by tension force of 14N applied on the laptop by a rope as it moves 2.0 mm up the slope is 0.028 J

W = F d cos θ

W = Work done

F = Force

d = Displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement vector

F = 14 N

d = 2 mm = 0.002 m

θ = 0

W = 14 * 0.002 * 1

W = 0.028 J

Work done is the change in energy of an object. So if an object moves a certain distance, work is done on the object. If the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other there is no work done on the object.

Therefore, the work done by tension on the laptop is 0.028 J

alculate the kinetic energies of (a) a 2.00×103-kg automobile moving at 100.0 km/h; (b) an 80.0-kg runner sprinting at 10.0 m/s;
zzz [600]

Answer:

(a) 7.72×10⁵ J

(b) 4000 J

(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

(a)

For a moving automobile,

Ek = 1/2mv².

Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)

Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J

(b)

For a sprinting runner,

Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)

Ek = 40(100)

Ek = 4000 J

(c)

For a moving electron,

Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²

Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Choose all of the true statements regarding the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current. Current is measured in am
AveGali [126]

-- <u><em>Current is measured in amps.</em></u>  (You can use any symbol you want to represent current, but the most common one is " I ", not "Δ".)

-- <u><em>The relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is mathematically defined by Ohm's Law. </em></u>

-- <u><em>Current is the flow of electrons through a circuit.</em></u>

-- (Ohm's Law is NOT mathematically represented by the equation V=I/R.)  <u><em>It should be V = I · R</em></u> .  

(When solving for Resistance in a circuit and both voltage and current are known values, the equation I =V*R is not true, and not the way to solve it.)  <u><em>If the resistance is what you're looking for, then the equation to use is  </em></u><u><em>R = V / I</em></u><u><em> .  </em></u>

<em>-- </em><u><em>If the voltage in a circuit is increased, the current will also increase.</em></u>

2. Why is natural selection a mechanism for biological change?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Natural selection is a simple mechanism that causes populations of living things to change over time.  Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.
