Calculate the total resistance across AB; between A and B are two parallel branches, one branch with a 3 Ohm and a 5 Ohm resistor, the other branch with a 4 Ohm resistor.

1/Rt=1/R1+1/R2 R1=3+5=8 R2=4 Rt=1/(1/8+1/4)=8/3 Ohms = 2.67 Ohms (2 D.P.)

A train is travelling at 50m/s. How long does it take the train to reach 60m/s if it accelerates at a constant rate of 0.5m/s^2? How many kilometres does it travel in this time?

The initial velocity, u, is 50 ms -1 The final velocity, v, is 60 ms -1 The acceleration, a, is 0.5ms -2 The question is asking us to find the time, t. The equation of motion linking u, v, a, and t is v = u ...

What does the half life of radioactive substance mean?

All radio active decay is random. In any radioactive substance each specific nucleus has a chance of decaying at one specific point in time. However we can't predict when this is going to happen. Instead we ...
