Two resistors have resistances R1 and R2. When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.6-V battery, the current from the battery is 2.07 A. When the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery, the total current from the battery is 8.98 A. Determine R1 and R2. (Enter your answers from smallest to largest.)

When R1 = 2.193, R2 = 3.894

When R1 = 3.894, R2 = 2.193

Explanation:

We are told that when R1 and R2 are connected in series, the voltage is 12.6 V and the current is 2.07 A.

Formula for resistance is;

R = V/I

R = 12.6/2.07

R = 6.087 ohms

Since R1 and R2 are connected in series.

Thus; R1 + R2 = 6.087 ohms

R1 = 6.087 - R2

We are also told that when they are connected in parallel, the current is 8.98 A.

Thus, R = 12/8.98

R = 1.403 ohms

Thus;

(1/R1) + (1/R2) = 1/1.403

Let's put 6.087 - R2 for R1;

(1/(6.087 - R2)) + (1/R2) = 1/1.403

Multiply through by 1.403R2(6.087 - R2) to get;

1.403R2 + 1.403(6.087 - R2) = R2(6.087 - R2)

Expanding gives;

1.403R2 + 8.54 - 1.403R2 = 6.087R2 - (R2)²

(R2)² - 6.087R2 + 8.54 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

R2 = 2.193 ohms or 3.894 ohms

Thus,

R1 = 6.087 - 2.193 or R1 = 6.087 - 3.894

R1 = 3.894 or 2.193

When R1 = 2.193, R2 = 3.894

When R1 = 3.894, R2 = 2.193

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
