what is the total resistance of 2 resistors each with resistance 2 ohms in parallel?

1/R t = 1/R 1 + 1/R 2 The equation for resistors in parrallel. If R 1 and R 2 are both 2 ohms then 1/R t = 1/2 +1/2 = 1 so R t = 1 ohm. Note: Don't forget the units at the end.

How, given the threshold frequency and the kinectic enery of a photon, do you determine the frequency of the phton?

You can use E= hf o + KE and E=hf (Einstien's equations) to work how the frequency of a photon, where f o is the threshold frequency and h is Planck's constant.

Find the x coordinate of the minimum point of the curve y = e3x - 6e2x + 32.

To find the minimum point of this curve you need to differentiate y and set it equal to zero before solving for x. If the questions does not say otherwise give your answer to 3 s.f. dy/dx = 3e^3x -12e^2x = 0...

Solve: 3x + 4 = x + 12

In this algebraic problem, we are faced with two unknowns (x's) on both sides of the equation. Remember that what we do to one side, we must also do to the other side. So to tackle this, we will first focus ...

A ball is thrown up with an initial velocity of 8 m/s and initial height of 1.5m above the ground. Calculate the maximum height the ball reaches and the time it takes to get there.

Travelling upwards u = 8m/s v = 0 m/s a = -9.8m/s S = ? t = ? v = u + at v 2 = u 2 + 2a(S - 1.5) 0 = 8 -9.8t 0 = 64 + 2*(-9.8)*(S - 1.5) 9.8t = 8 19.6*(S - 1.5) = 64 t = 0.816s (3.sf) S - 1.5 = 3.265m S = 4....
