Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of five 2 V cells, a 5 ohm resistor, a 10 ohm resistor, a 15 ohm r

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Current = 0.33 A

Explanation:

For diagram refer the attachment.

It is given that five cells of 2V are connected in series, so total voltage of the battery:

$\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf V = 2 \times 5 = 10 V$

Three resistor of 5 $\Omega$ , 10 $\Omega$ , 15 $\Omega$ are connected in Series, so the net resistance:

$\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R_{n} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}$

$\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R = 5 + 10 + 15$

${ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{R = 30 \: \Omega}}}}$

According to ohm's law:

$\dashrightarrow \sf\: \: V = IR$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{V}{R}$

On substituting resultant voltage (V) as 10 V and resultant resistant, as 30 ${\pmb{\sf{\Omega}}}$ we get:

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{10V}{30\Omega}$

${ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{I = 0.33 A}}}}$

$\therefore$ The electric current passing through the above circuit when the key is closed will be <u>0.33 A</u>

What is the acceleration of a 600,000 kg freight train, if each of itsthree engines can provide 100,000 n of force?

sergey [27]

The acceleration of a 600,000 kg freight train, if each of its three engines can provide 100,000N of force is 0.167m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a freight train can be calculated using the following formula:

Force = mass × acceleration

According to this question, a 600,000kg freight train can produce 100,000N of force. The acceleration is as follows:

100,000 = 600,000 × a

100,000 = 600,000a

a = 0.167m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of a 600,000 kg freight train, if each of its three engines can provide 100,000N of force is 0.167m/s².

What's the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 and velocity of 200m/s?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}$

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

$v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}$

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

$f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }$

$f=20 \ s^{-1}$

1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

$f= 20 \ Hz$

The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>
