Given that in a parallel circuit:

R1 = 12 ohms

R2= 15 ohms

I = 12 A

I2 = 4 A

V=?

R=?

R3 =?

P=?

Since,

V= IR

or,

V2 = I2 * R2

V2= 4* 15

V2 = 60V

Since in a parallel circuit voltage remain same in all component of the circuit and is equal to the source voltage.

Therefore,

V= V1 = V2 = V3 = 60V

Since,

V= IR

R= V/I

R= 60/12

R= 5 ohm

That is total resistance is equal to 5 ohms.

Since for parallel circuit,

1/R= 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

1/5= 1/12+ 1/15 + 1/R3

1/R3= 1/5- 1/12- 1/15

1/R3= 1/20

R3= 20 ohms

Since,

V=IR

I= V/R

I1= V1/ R1

I1= 60/12

I1= 5 A

I3= V3/R3

I3= 60/20

I3= 3A

Since,

P=VI

P= 60*12

P= 720 watt

P1= V1* I1

P1= 60* 5

P1= 300 watt

P2= V2* I2

P2= 60* 4

P2= 240watt

P3= V3*I3

P3= 60*3

P3= 180 watt

Hence we have,

R1= 12 ohms , R2= 15 ohms, R3= 20 ohms, R= 5 ohms

I1= 5A, I2= 4A, I3= 3A, I= 12 A

V1= V2= V3= V= 60V

P1= 300 watt, P2= 240 watt, P3 = 180 watt, P= 720 watt

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant)of 39.5 N/m so that it will

nordsb [41]

Answer:

m = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

The force constant of the spring, k = 39.5 N/m

The frequency of oscillation, f = 1 Hz

The frequency of oscillation is given by the formula as formula as follows :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}} \\\\f^2=\dfrac{k}{4m\pi^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2 f^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{39.5}{4\pi^2 \times (1)^2}\\\\m=1\ kg$

So, the mass that is attached to the spring is 1 kg.

Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. True or false

Butoxors [25]

<span>nuclear fusion is observed in stars coming from the combination of two hydrogens to form an atom of helium. Fusion means combination of two or more elements. helium is known to fuel energy which in this case, the great sun which is more than a million Kelvin in temperature already today. hence the answer is true.</span>

A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?

Leokris [45]

Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.

A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant 7 Nt/m. What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion? What is th

Scorpion4ik [409]

1. 0.42 Hz

The frequency of a simple harmonic motion for a spring is given by:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k = 7 N/m is the spring constant

m = 1 kg is the mass attached to the spring

Substituting these numbers into the formula, we find

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}}=0.42 Hz$

2. 2.38 s

The period of the harmonic motion is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f = 0.42 Hz is the frequency. Substituting into the formula, we find

$T=\frac{1}{0.42 Hz}=2.38 s$

3. 0.4 m

The amplitude in a simple harmonic motion corresponds to the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system. In this case, the mass is initially displaced by 0.4 m: this means that during its oscillation later, the displacement cannot be larger than this value (otherwise energy conservation would be violated). Therefore, this represents the maximum displacement of the mass-spring system, so it corresponds to the amplitude.

4. 0.19 m

We can solve this part of the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact:

- When the mass is released from equilibrium position, the compression/stretching of the spring is zero: $x=0$ , so the elastic potential energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy of the system is just equal to the kinetic energy of the mass:

$E=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = 1 kg and v = 0.5 m/s is the initial velocity of the mass

- When the spring reaches the maximum compression/stretching (x=A=amplitude), the velocity of the system is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero, and all the mechanical energy is just elastic potential energy:

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

Since the total energy must be conserved, we have:

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}v=\sqrt{\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}}(0.5 m/s)=0.19 m$

5. Amplitude of the motion: 0.44 m

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

- $E_i = \frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$ is the initial mechanical energy of the system, with $x_0=0.4 m$ being the initial displacement of the mass and $v_0=0.5 m/s$ being the initial velocity

$- E_f = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$ is the mechanical energy of the system when x=A (maximum displacement)

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find A, the amplitude:

$\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{x_0^2+\frac{m}{k}v_0^2}=\sqrt{(0.4 m)^2+\frac{1 kg}{7 N/m}(0.5 m/s)^2}=0.44 m$

6. Maximum velocity: 1.17 m/s

We can use again the law of conservation of energy.

$- E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$ is the mechanical energy of the system when x=0, which is when the system has maximum velocity, $v_{max}$

Equalizing the two expressions, we can solve to find $v_{max}$ , the maximum velocity:

$\frac{1}{2}kx_0^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x_0^2+v_0^2}=\sqrt{\frac{7 N/m}{1 kg}(0.4 m)^2+(0.5 m/s)^2}=1.17 m/s m$
