    Power of a car, time distance speed mass

    a = \frac{v}{t} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \frac{m}{s^{2}} s = vt = 100 m F = ma = 1000*4 = 4000 N A = Fs = 4000*100 = 400000 J P = Fv = 4000*20 = 80 000 W P = \frac{A}{t} = \frac{400000}{5} = 80 000 W seems pretty straightforward to me

    4 resistors in series and parallel

    The parallel resistor formula I took from the same lesson of the same book. Very weird. Anyway, thanks guys :)

    4 resistors in series and parallel

    Homework Statement I have 4 resistors R1=R2=R3=R4=40\Omega I need to find the Equivalent Resistance when they are connected in series and when they are connected in parallel. The problem is my answer for the parallel differs from the answer given in the book. Homework Equations Series...
