Hello!

Recall for resistors in parallel:
\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_n}

We can begin by calculating the total resistance:
\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{10} +  \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10}}\\\\\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{3}{10}\\\\R_t = \frac{10}{3} = \boxed{3.333 \Omega}

Now, we can calculate the current using Ohm's Law:
V = iR\\\\i = \frac{V}{R}

V = Voltage of battery (V)
i = Current (A)

R = Resistance (Ω)

Plug in the given voltage and the total resistance we solved for.

i = \frac{15}{3.33} = \boxed{4.5 A}

Four ways to increase magnitude of current in dynamo​
8090 [49]

Answer:

hmm

Explanation:

By increasing the number of turns in the coil, strength of magnetic field, speed of rotation of the coil in the magnetic field and by decreasing the distance between the coil and the magnet the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. can be increased in generator/dynamo.

The propeller of a WW2 fighter plane is 2.35 m in diameter
Studentka2010 [4]
A) 1 rev = 2π rad. Using this ratio, you can find the rad/s: 1160 rev/min x 2π rad/rev x 1 min/60 s = 121.5 rad/s

b) You can find linear speed from angular speed using this equation (note the radius is half the diameter given in the question): v = ωr = 121.5 rad/s x 1.175 m = 142.8 m/s

c) You can find centripetal acceleration using this equation: a = v^2/r = (142.8 m/s)^2 / 1.175 m = 17 355 m/s^2

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th
Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3
