Explain how a battery in a circuit is similar to a water pump.

Physics
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
5 0
<span>A battery creates a potential difference, or voltage, which is really just storing electrical potential energy just as a pump would by moving water up against gravity, thereby storing gravitational potential energy. To complete the analogy, as current flows through the circuit, this potential energy is released and can be used by the components in the circuit. This is the same as water falling back down and turning some wheel or turbine and converting its gravitational potential energy into mechanical energy.</span>

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.
mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

       Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

       Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)  We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

   Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

   v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

 Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

  v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

 Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

A particle is moving along the x-axis so that its position at any time t is greater than and equal to 0 is given by x(t)=2te^-t?
erastovalidia [21]
For speed you can differentiate the equation, for acceleration you can again differentiate the equation .
at t=0 the particle is slowing down , when you get equation for velocity put t=0 then only -1 is left
