    Calculation on Romer's theory of the speed of light

    Homework Statement c=2.998 × 108 m/s t= 20.5 min (1230s) x= ? Homework Equations my guess would be the standard velocity equation, v= x/t (x=vt) but it appears i am wrong, is there another formula that includes velocity and time? The Attempt at a Solution v=x/t x=vt x= (2.998...

    Parallel and Series circuits w/ multiple batteries

    This makes PERFECT sense! Thank you so much! I was thinking the same thing but I got confused and I forgot the square the V so instead of 4.5 I ended up with 9.

    Parallel and Series circuits w/ multiple batteries

    So what you're saying is to do 675 - 5.8*.36 - 5.8*1.15 = the potential difference? How is there a loop for the electricity to flow? It is right but I do not understand how it works.

    Parallel and Series circuits w/ multiple batteries

    I first calculated the equivelent resistance: (1/(2+2) + 1/2)-1 = 4/3 4/3 + 2 = 10/3 Req= 10/3 With the total resistance I found the whole circuit's current: V=IR I=V/R I= 15 * 3/10= 4.5 next, I found the allocated towards the parallel circuit so I subtracted the voltage dropped...

    Parallel and Series circuits w/ multiple batteries

    I found the Vx= 189 and I subtracted [5.8(1.15+.36)] because of voltage drops and I got 180.242.

    Parallel and Series circuits w/ multiple batteries

    I have tried drawing it and I only need to figure out how much Power is consumed by the B bulb. My design is an attachment below (each resistor A,B,C, and D are 2 Ohms) And I keep getting PB = 18 which is not correct Did I set up my circuit right?

    Parallel and Series circuits w/ multiple batteries

    Hello, this is my first time posting on this forum and I have seeked help on this forum before on previous assignments for my physics class. There are four problems that I do not understand clearly or do not understand how the image is portrayed in a blueprint format Problem 1 Homework...
