The current in some DC circuits decays according to the function I=I0e−t/τ, where I is the current at some point in time, I0 is

almond37 [142]

Answer: 1.95

Explanation:

You should start off from the decay formula and solve for τ:

$I = I_{0}e^{\frac{t}{\tau\\ } }$

$\frac{I}{I_{0}} = e^{\frac{-t}{\tau} }$

Apply inverse logarithmic function:

$ln(\frac{0.2 A}{1.2 A} ) = \frac{-t}{\tau}$

The final form will be:

$\tau=\frac{-3.5s}{ln(\frac{0.2A}{1.2A} )}$

Inputing values for I, IO, and t:

$\tau=\frac{-3.5S}{ln(\frac{0.2 A}{1.2 A} )} = 1.95$

A circuit consists of a series combination of 6.50 −kΩ and 4.50 −kΩ resistors connected across a 50.0-V battery having negligibl

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Part A: 16.1 V

Part B: 20.5 V

Part C: 21.5%

Explanation:

The voltmeter is in parallel with the 4.5-kΩ resistor and the combination is in series with the 6.5-kΩ resistor. The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is given as

$\dfrac{1}{R_E}=\dfrac{1}{4.50}+\dfrac{1}{10.0}$

$R_E=\dfrac{4.50\times10.0}{4.50+10.0} = 3.10$

Part A

The voltmeter reading is the potential difference across the parallel combination. This is found by using the voltage-divider rule.

$V_1 = \dfrac{3.10}{3.10+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{3.10}{9.60}\times50.0 = 16.1 \text{ V}$

Part B

Without the voltmeter, the potential difference across the 4.5-kΩ resistor is found using the same rule as above:

$V_2 = \dfrac{4.50}{4.50+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{4.50}{11.0}\times50.0 = 20.5 \text{ V}$

Part C

The error in % is given by

$\dfrac{20.5-16.1}{20.5}\times100\% = \dfrac{4.4}{20.5}\times100\% = 21.5\%$

what causes places near the equator to receive more direct sunlight than the poles? the poles are farther away from the sun than

Andru [333]

This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.

Which statement is correct?

NISA [10]

Answer:

1st statement is true

Explanation:

Here statement 1 is correct

Let think about it, if you push down the bar then you are lifting your weight off the pedals.

Obviously, this question does not take into account of racing bikes with straps on pedals, where you would push on one side and pull on the other to match your legs are doing, with straps your other leg can pull pedals upward.
