Answer:

Normal force, F = 127 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the television, m = 13 kg

It is sitting on the shelf. We have to find the normal force acting on it. The forces acting on it are normal force and its weight. So, the normal force is given by :

F = mg

g = acceleration due to gravity

$N=13\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

F = 127.4 Newton

F = 127 N

Hence, the normal force acting on the television is 127 N

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω , V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance

$R_{eq}$ = ∑ $R_{i}$

* For resistance in parallel

1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

R_B = Rb + R4

R_B = 2 + 18

R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

R_C5 = Rc + R5

R_C5 = 3 + 12

R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

R_total = R_A + R_BC

R_total = 6 + 8.57

R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

10 = V_a + V_BC

10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (14.57)

i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

V_BC = i R_BC

V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

Branch C

V_BC = i R_C5

i = V_BC / R_C5

i = 5.8819 / 15

i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

V_C = i R_C

V_C = 0.39213 3

V_C = 1.176 V

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.

Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 x 10^-6 /C) that is 0.3 met

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.000225 m

Explanation:

Coefficient of linear expansion = $\alpha_L=3\times 10^{-6} /C$

Length = 0.3 meters

ΔT = Change in temperature = 250 °C

Linear expansion

$\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha_L\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\alpha_L\Delta T\times L\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=3\times 10^{-6}\times 0.3\times 250=0.000225\ m$
