    Engineering Finding the parallel impedance in a circuit

    Homework Statement I need to find the total impedance in a circuit that has: j60 ohms, 30 ohms, -j60 ohms and 20 ohms in parallel Homework Equations Ztotal=1/(Z1+ Z2+ Zn) The Attempt at a Solution I've tried doing this, but what I think is the -j60 and the j60 should cancel...

    Resistance for a lightbulb circuit

    So I've made a circuit that lights up a light bulb whenever it's dark. I did this using a photoresistor and it is working. However, I have a relay switch with a 9V battery and a 7.2V lightbulb. When it was supposed to turn on, it lasted a couple of minutes and the battery is now dead. Should I...

    Centrifuge for astronaut training (tangential and normal acceleration)

    ok, so what I have is the astronaut can continue for 9.4395 seconds, the angular velocity of the astronaut is 4.0118 rad/s^2, the normal acceleration would be 3.6125t^2 and tangencial acceleration is 8.5 rad/s^2. Does that seem about right? Thank you!

    Centrifuge for astronaut training (tangential and normal acceleration)

    I've only used g to get 98.1, and the time is always in seconds. Do you think the answer I got is wrong?

    Centrifuge for astronaut training (tangential and normal acceleration)

    Ok, I think I got it, sqrt(72.25 + 13.05t^4) has to equal 10g(98.1). I tried to find the value of t and got 5.201s, isn't that too small for this exercise?

    Centrifuge for astronaut training (tangential and normal acceleration)

    ok, then the angular velocity is the function 0.425t. But I still don't know how to relate that with the acceleration...
