Two resistors are connected in parallel. If R1 and R2 represent the resistance in Ohms (Ω) of each resistor, then the total resistance R is given by 1R=1R1+1R2. Suppose that in fact, these two resistors are actually potentiometers (resistors with variable resistance) and R1 is increasing at a rate of 0.4Ω/min and R2 is increasing at a rate of 0.6Ω/min. At what rate is R changing when R1=117Ω and R2=112Ω?

1/Re= 1/R1 + 1/R2

Explanation:

the answer is b, have negligible mass

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
