what is the total resistance of 2 resistors each with resistance 2 ohms in parallel?

1/Rt= 1/R1 + 1/R2 The equation for resistors in parrallel. If R1 and R2 are both 2 ohms then 1/Rt = 1/2 +1/2 = 1 so Rt = 1 ohm....

How, given the threshold frequency and the kinectic enery of a photon, do you determine the frequency of the phton?

You can use E= hfo + KE and E=hf (Einstien's equations) to work how the frequency of a photon, where fo is the threshold frequency and h is Planck's constant.

A ball is thrown up with an initial velocity of 8 m/s and initial height of 1.5m above the ground. Calculate the maximum height the ball reaches and the time it takes to get there.

Travelling upwards

u = 8m/s     v = 0 m/s      a  = -9.8m/s       S = ?        t = ?

v = u + at                                      v= u2 + 2a(S - 1.5)

A person weighs 620N on Earth. The gravitational constant on Mars is 3.8m/s^2. How much does this person weigh on Mars?

If the person weighs 620N on Earth, their mass is 620/9.8=63.3kg on Earth. Therefore applying F=ma they must weigh 63.3*3.8=240N on Mars.

Discuss the difference between sharpness and contrast in x-ray imaging

Sharpness describes how well the edges of structures in an x-ray image are defined, while contrast describes the difference in degree of blackening of adjacent structures.
