What is the gpe of the ball at position a (20-m high)

(a) You short-circuit a 20 volt battery by connecting a short wire from one end of the battery to the other end. If the current

erica [24]

(a) $1.11 \Omega$

When the battery is short-cut, the only resistance in the circuit is the internal resistance of the battery. Therefore, we can apply Ohm's law:

$r=\frac{V}{I}$

where

V = 20 V is the voltage across the internal resistance of the battery

I = 18 A is the current flowing through it

Solving the equation,

$r=\frac{20 V}{18 A}=1.11\Omega$

(b) 360 W

The power generated by the battery is given by the equation

$P=VI$

where

V = 20 V is the voltage of the battery

I = 18 A is the current

Substituting into the formula,

$P=(20 V)(18 A)=360 W$

(c) 360 J

The energy dissipated by the internal resistance is given by

$E=Pt$

where

P = 360 W is the power generated

t = 1 s is the time

Solving the equation, we find

$E=(360 W)(1 s)=360 J$

(d) 1.65 A

The battery is now connected to a $R=11 \Omega$ resistor. This means that the internal resistance of the battery is now connected in series with the other resistor R: so, the total resistance of the circuit is

$R_T = r+R=1.11 \Omega +11 \Omega = 12.11 \Omega$

And so, the current flowing through the circuit is

$I=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{20 V}{12.11\Omega}=1.65 A$

(e) 29.9 W

The power dissipated in the external resistor is given by

$P=I^2 R$

where

I = 1.65 A is the current

$R=11 \Omega$ is the resistance

Solving the equation, we find

$P=(1.65 A)^2(11 \Omega)=29.9 W$

(f) 18.17 V

The terminals of the voltmeter are placed at the two end of the battery. The battery provides an emf of 20 V, however due to the internal resistance, some of this voltage is dropped across the internal resistance. Therefore, the actual potential difference that will be read by the voltmeter will be:

$V=\epsilon - Ir =20 V -(1.65 A)(1.11 \Omega)=18.17 V$

When a car accelerates from a standing start, the crash test dummy appears to be pressed backward into the seat cushion. Which o

Setler [38]

Answer:

Option: D. Gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving.

Explanation:

When a car accelerates from a standing start, the crash test dummy appears to be pressed backward into the seat cushion because the gravity is pulling the crash test dummy in the direction the car is moving.

Basically when the car is starting, the person inside is in static position and the car is going to move. So it is putting a force on the person to move on the same speed. But as the person is sitting static hence gravity is pulling him behind from moving. Hence, The dummy appears to be pressed backward.

What is the least value of an ammeter Is it 1. 0.1 2. 0.10 3. 0.2 4. 0.5

givi [52]

The least value varies depends on ammeter range. In the given question, ammeter range is not mentioned. So, the least value of an ammeter is 0.1 or 0.5 (depends on ammeter range).

Explanation:

The least value of an ammeter is the measure of the smallest number which can be observed in ammeter. So the least value will be varying depending upon its range. If we consider the range of ammeter is 30 A and the scale readings are 10 numbers, then the least value will be 30/10 = 3 A per scale.

So the least value is determined as $\frac{Range of ammeter}{No.of scales}$

So among the given options 0.1 is most suitable for an ammeter with range of 3 A with 30 divisions.

Which group was guaranteed voting rights by the Fifteenth Amendment?

castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.

lord [1]

Answer:To ensure significant dialogue which will guarantee that the needed Products meets specifications

It will help to develop a better Operational model for the users.

Explanation: The design phase is one of the most critical phase in product development,it is in this phase that the product structure, contents and specifications are put into action. It is necessary that the end users have a significant time to dialogue with the project or product development team to guarantee that the end product meets specifications.

It is also necessary to spent adequate time in order to make the product user friendly (easy to operate and maintain).
