Answer:

Series circuit

Explanation:

The type of circuit can be divided into series and parallel. In the series circuit, there is only one loop/path. If the path is cut or stopped, the current of the circuit will be stopped completely. A parallel circuit has more than one loops. This means the circuit has alternative paths that it can travel in case that one path is blocked or cut. This alternative path makes the parallel circuit have a lower resistance compared to the series.

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.362 μm and density 0.888 g/cm3 is suspended in chamber C when a downward-point

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The charge on the oil drop is 3e

Explanation:

F = qE

Where;

F is the applied force in Newton

E is the electric field potential N/C

q is charge in C

Given;

Radius, r = 1.362 μm = 1.362 X 10⁻⁶ m

density, ρ = 0.888 g/cm³ = 0.888 X 10³ kg/m³

Electric field potential = 1.92 ✕ 10⁵ N/C

F =mg

mass of the oil drop = density, ρ X volume of the oil drop

volume of the oil drop (spherical) = (4/3)πr³ = 1.3333π(1.362 X 10⁻⁶)³

⇒ volume of the oil drop = 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ m³

mass of the oil drop = 0.888 X 10³ (kg/m³) X 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ (m³)

⇒ mass of the oil drop = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg

⇒ F =mg = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg X 9.8 = 9.21 X10⁻¹⁴ N

F = qE

q = F/E

q = (9.21 X10⁻¹⁴)/(1.92 ✕ 10⁵) = 4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

In terms of e

1e = 1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C

= (4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C) = 3e

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 3e

a certain projetor uses a concave mirror for projecting an object's image on a screen .it produces on image that is 4 times bigg

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

$M = \frac{q}{p}$

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

$4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m$

Now using thin lens formula:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\$

When a hammer thrower releases her ball, she is aiming to maximize the distance from the starting ring. Assume she releases the

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The angular velocity is 15.37 rad/s

Solution:

As per the question:

$\theta = 54.6^{\circ}$

Horizontal distance, x = 30.1 m

Distance of the ball from the rotation axis is its radius, R = 1.15 m

Now,

To calculate the angular velocity:

Linear velocity, v = $\sqrt{\frac{gx}{sin2\theta}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{294.98}{sin109.2^{\circ}}} = 17.67\ m/s$

Now,

The angular velocity can be calculated as:

$v = \omega R$

Thus

$\omega = \frac{v}{R} = \frac{17.67}{1.15} = 15.37\ rad/s$

Sheila eats an energy bar right before she goes on a run. What energy changes will occur in sheila as she runs after eating?

LiRa [457]

The energy bar eaten by Sheila has chemical energy locked up inside it. This chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy in form of potential and kinetic energy and this in turn is converted to heat energy as the run progresses. Thus, the energy changes are: chemical energy to mechanical energy [kinetic and potential] and finally to heat energy.

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).

Explanation:

First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.

The equation for the position of the car is:

x = v · t

Where

x = position at time t

v = velocity

t = time

x = v · t

27 m = 17 m/s · t

27 m / 17 m/s = t

t = 1.6 s

Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:

The position of the bolt will be:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Where

y = height of the bolt at time t

y0 = initial height of the bolt

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²

y0 = 13 m
