Answer:

the branch currents are as follows:

top left: I2 = 0.625 A

middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

right: I3 = 1.875 A

Explanation:

You can write the KVL equations:

Top left loop:

I2(4) +(I2 +I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Bottom left loop:

(I1-I2)(4) +(I1-I2-I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Right loop:

(I2+I3)(2) +(I2+I3-I1)(2) = 5

In matrix form, the equations are ...

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6&2\\7&-6&-2\\-2&4&4\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}10\\10\\5\end{array}\right]$

These equations have the solution ...

$\left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}2.500\\0.625\\1.875\end{array}\right]$

This means the branch currents are as follows:

top left: I2 = 0.625 A

middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

right: I3 = 1.875 A

This can be worked almost in your head by using the superposition theorem. When the 5V source is shorted, the 10V source is supplying (I1) to a circuit that is the 4 Ω and 2 Ω resistors in parallel with their counterparts, and that 2+1 Ω combination in series with 1 Ω for a total of a 4Ω load on the 10 V source. That is, I1 due to the 10V source is 2.5 A, and it is nominally split in half through the upper and lower branches of the circuit. There is no current flowing through the (shorted) 5 V source branch.

When the 10V source is shorted, the 5V source is supplying a 4 +4 Ω branch in parallel with a 2 +2 Ω branch, a total load of 8/3 Ω. This makes the current from that source (I3) be 5/(8/3) = 15/8 = 1.875 A. There is zero current from this source through the 1 Ω resistor.

Nominally, the current from the 5V source splits 2/3 through the 2 Ω branch and 1/3 through the 4 Ω branch.

Using superposition, I2 = I1/2 -I3/3 = (2.5 A/2) -(1/3)(15/8 A) = 0.625 A. This is the same answer as above, without any matrix math.

(I1, I2, I3) = (2.5 A, 0.625 A, 1.875 A)

It helps to be familiar with the formulas for resistors in series and parallel.

A satellite in the shape of a solid sphere of mass 1,900 kg and radius 4.6 m is spinning about an axis through its center of mas

algol [13]

Answer:

6.3 rev/s

Explanation:

The new rotation rate of the satellite can be found by conservation of the angular momentum (L):

$L_{i} = L_{f}$

$I_{i}*\omega_{i} = I_{f}*\omega_{f}$

The initial moment of inertia of the satellite (a solid sphere) is given by:

$I_{i} = \frac{2}{5}m_{s}r^{2}$

Where $m_{s}$ : is the satellite mass and r: is the satellite's radium

$I_{i} = \frac{2}{5}m_{s}r^{2} = \frac{2}{5}1900 kg*(4.6 m)^{2} = 1.61 \cdot 10^{4} kg*m^{2}$

Now, the final moment of inertia is given by the satellite and the antennas (rod):

$I_{f} = I_{i} + 2*I_{a} = 1.61 \cdot 10^{4} kg*m^{2} + 2*\frac{1}{3}m_{a}l^{2}$

Where $m_{a}$ : is the antenna's mass and l: is the lenght of the antenna

$I_{f} = 1.61 \cdot 10^{4} kg*m^{2} + 2*\frac{1}{3}150.0 kg*(6.6 m)^{2} = 2.05 \cdot 10^{4} kg*m^{2}$

So, the new rotation rate of the satellite is:

$I_{i}*\omega_{i} = I_{f}*\omega_{f}$

$\omega_{f} = \frac{I_{i}*\omega_{i}}{I_{f}} = \frac{1.61 \cdot 10^{4} kg*m^{2}*8.0 \frac{rev}{s}}{2.05 \cdot 10^{4} kg*m^{2}} = 6.3 rev/s$

Therefore, the new rotation rate of the satellite is 6.3 rev/s.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

D. Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose

electrons.

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Based on the octet rule which states that atoms of chemical elements gain, lose or share electrons so as to have eight (8) electrons in their valence shell. Therefore, atoms of chemical elements bond in order to attain the electronic configuration of a noble gas i.e a full valence shell which comprises of eight (8) electrons.

This ultimately implies that, atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons because they're noble gas.
