What is the equivalent resistance?​

Physics
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C 3.33 Ω

Explanation:

From the equation given    1 / Rtot = 1/10 + 1/5 =  3/10

 then Rtot = 10/3 = 3.33 Ω

As an aside:

When there are only two resistors in parallel, the equivalent R is

=    R1*R2 / (R1 + R2) =  10*5 / (10+5) = 50 / 15 = 3.33 Ω

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

U=\frac{1}{3}K

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}

And using (1), we find

U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2

Substituting U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 into the last equation, we find the value of x:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

B) x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

K=\frac{1}{10}E

Since we have

K=E-U

we can write

E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E

And so we find:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A

A dipole of moment 0.5 e·nm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 8 times 104 N/C. What is the magnitude of
Over [174]

Answer:

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to
Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.
