What is the equivalent resistance of the

Physics
1 answer:
BigorU [14]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Approximately 111\; {\rm \Omega}.

Explanation:

It is given that R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega} and R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega} are connected in a circuit in parallel.

Assume that this circuit is powered with a direct current power supply of voltage V.

Since R_{1} and R_{2} are connected in parallel, the voltage across the two resistors would both be V. Thus, the current going through the two resistors would be (V / R_{1}) and (V / R_{2}), respectively.

Also because the two resistors are connected in parallel, the total current in this circuit would be the sum of the current in each resistor: I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2}).

In other words, if the voltage across this circuit is V, the total current in this circuit would be I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2}). The (equivalent) resistance R of this circuit would be:

\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{V}{I} \\ &= \frac{V}{(V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})}\end{aligned}.

Given that R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega} and R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}:

\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/(200\: {\rm \Omega})) + (1/(250\; {\rm \Omega}))} \\ &\approx 111\; {\rm \Omega}\end{aligned}.

A 4 kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on the roof of a building that is 30 meters tall. What is its kinetic energy?
klasskru [66]

ans: B

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

= \frac{1}{2} (4)(5^{2} )

= 50J

ps. the height will only affect its potential energy, not kinetic.

Why do objects not cool to absolute zero by emitting all their thermal energy
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Because the object should shrink its volume to zero, which is impossible

Explanation:

Let's talk about gases for simplicity. Ideal gases are governed by the ideal gas equation:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

From the formula, we see that T and V are directly proportional: therefore, in order for a gas to have an absolute temperature of zero, it must also have a volume of zero, which is impossible.

Q 28.7: A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 T. What is the maximum Hall
Zinaida [17]

Answer:the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip= 0.00168 V.

Explanation:

The Hall Voltage is calculated using

Vh= B x v x  w

Where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, 5.6 T

v is the speed/  velocity of the strip, = 25 cm/s  to m/s becomes 25/100=0.25m/s

and w is the width of the strip=  1.2 mm to meters becomes 1.2 mm /1000= 0.0012m

 Solving

Vh= 5.6T x 0.25m/s x 0.0012m

=0.00168T.m²/s

=0.00168Wb/s

=0.00168V

Therefore, the  maximum Hall voltage across the strip=0.00168V
