Three identical resistors have an equivalent resistance 15.6 ohm when they are connected in series. What is the resistance for each resistor

5.2 Ω.

Explanation:

What is the resistance for each resistor

Since the resistors are connected in series and each have resistance R, and their equivalent resistance is R' = 15.6 Ω.

Since they are connected in series, R' = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Since R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R

R' = R + R + R = 3R

R' = 3R

R = R'/3

R =  15.6 Ω/3

R =  5.2 Ω

So, the resistance of each resistor is 5.2 Ω.

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
