AI Thread Summary

i1 and i9 are identified as being in series with the current source, supporting the reasoning for answers a and c. For answer b, an unbroken series connection leads to the application of V = I * R. The user expresses uncertainty about the correctness of their answers due to a lack of verification methods. The responses provided confirm the user's reasoning is accurate. Understanding series connections is crucial for calculating equivalent resistances effectively.

Homework Statement: A) What is the current flowing through Resistor 1?
B) What is the voltage drop across Resistor 2?
C) What is the current flowing through Resistor 9?
D) What is the equivalent resistance for Resistors 5, 7, and 8?

Relevant Equations: V = I*R, Series Connections add.

It seems as though i1 and i9 are in series with the current source. That's my reasoning for the answers a and c.
For b, it appears as though there's still an unbroken series connection which just leaves V = I * R.

I put question marks because I don't know if they're right or not; there's no way for me to check.

Thanks for your time.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
