Question :

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains three 10.0 Ω resistors connected in series to a 6.0 V battery?

Options given :

A. 0.600 Ω
Β. 60.0 Ω
C. 16.0 Ω
D. 30.0 Ω

Solution :

As we know that,

When a circuit is connected in series resistance is calculated by :

Rs = R1 + R2 + R3 .... Rn

Here,

R is resistance

As a circuit contains three resistors. So R1 , R2 and R3 would be :

R1 = 10 Ω
R2 = 10 Ω
R3 = 10 Ω

Now,

>> Rs = 10 + 10 + 10

>> Rs = 30 Ω

Therefore,

Option D is correct.

When a 70 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? Assume, for simplicity, that the stool

allochka39001 [22]

The diameter of one leg of the stool is missing and it's 2cm.

Answer:

(ΔL/L) = 0.00729%

Explanation:

If the Weight of the man is W, the weight will be distributed equally on the 3 legs and so the reactions for each leg will be W/3 or F/3.

Now, Youngs modulus(Y) of douglas fir wood is about 1.3 x 10^(10) N/m^2. Gotten from youngs modulus of common materials.

Now, weight of man is 70kg.

Now diameter of one leg is 2cm.so radius of one leg = 2/2 = 1cm = 1 x 10^(-2)m

Area for one leg is; π( 1 x 10^(-2)m)^2 = 3.14 x 10^(-4)m

Now as stated earlier, the force on one leg is; F/3.

Now F = mg = 70 x 9.81 = 686.7N

So, force on one leg = 686.7/3 = 228. 9N

Now we know youngs modulus(Y) = Stress/Strain.

Stress = F/A while Strain = ΔL/L

Therefore Y = (F/A) / (ΔL/L)

And therefore, (ΔL/L) = F/(AY)

So (ΔL/L) = 228.9/(3.14 x 10^(-4))x(1.3 x 10^(10)) = 7. 29 x 10^(-5)

When expressed in percentage, it becomes 0.00729%

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment

Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.

Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable,

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) V = 195.70 m/s

b) f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) T = 3311.25 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength, λ = 646 Km = 646000 m

Distance traveled = 3410 Km = 3410000 m

Time = 4.84 h = 4.84 × 3600 s = 17424 seconds

a) The speed (V) of the wave is given as

V = distance / time

V = 3410000 m/ 17424 seconds

V = 195.70 m/s

b) The frequency (f) of the wave is given as:

f = V / λ

f= 195.70 / 646000

f=3.02 × 10⁻⁴ Hz

c) The time period (T) is given as:

T = 1/ f

T = 1/ (3.02 × 10⁻⁴) Hz

T = 3311.25 seconds
