There is a 0.40-a current in resistor x when it is connected to a 2.0-v battery. a 0.25-a current is in a second resistor, y, when it is connected to a 4-v battery. there is a 0.50-a current in a third resistor, z, when it is connected to a 5.0-v battery. find the resistor that has the maximum resistance and the resistor that has the least resistance.

F500 j of energy were added to 1 kg of each of these samples, which would experience the least temperature increase?

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Why is the energy that results from a roller coaster's position at the top of a hill referred to as potential energy?
