Which of the following relationships must be true according to the laws of series and parallel connections? (Select only relationships that must be true according to the laws of series and parallel connections, not those that are true in this problem only because of the particular resistances given.)

Iam on that question know can you tell me the answer i am realy strruglingasap

To compare speeds speeds of wagons we will use second newton's law. it states: f = m * ahere we can see that force depends on the acceleration. if we know acceleration for both wagons we can compare them to make conclusion of speeds of wagons.we have: m1 = 10lbm2 = 20lbf1 = 2*f2also: m2 = 2*m1for bill we have equation: f1 = m1 * a1for tom we have equation: f2 = m2 * a2after inserting identities we have: 2*f2 =m1 * a1f2 = 2*m1 * a2in order to make conclusions about speeds we will solve these equations for a and find their ratio: a1 = 2f2 / m1a2 = f2 / 2m1a1 / a2 = (2f2/m1) / (f2/2m1)a1 / a2 = (2f2*2m1) / (m1*f2)a1 / a2 = (4f2m1) / (m1f2)a1 / a2 = 4this ratio is bigger than 1 and this means that a1 is greater than a2. a1 is 4 times greater than a2. speed of bill's wagon is 4 times greater than speed of tom's wagon.
