In a direct current (DC) electrical circuit, the voltage (V in volts) is an expression of the available energy per unit charge which drives the electric current (I in amperes) around a closed circuit. Increasing the resistance (R in ohms) will proportionately decrease the current which may be driven through the circuit by the voltage.

Each quantity and each operational relationship in a battery-operated DC circuit has a direct analog in the water circuit. The nature of the analogies can help develop an understanding of the quantities in basic electric ciruits. In the water circuit, the pressure P drives the water around the closed loop of pipe at a certain volume flow rate F. If the resistance to flow R is increased, then the volume flow rate decreases proportionately. You may click any component or any relationship to explore the the details of the analogy with a DC electric circuit.

A car is driving away from a crosswalk. The formula d = t 2 + 2 t expresses the car's distance from the crosswalk in feet, d , i
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

2) V = 9 ft/s

3) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

4) V = 5.9 ft/s

Explanation:

In order to know if the car is traveling at constant speed we need to derive the given formula. That way we get speed as a function of time:

V(t) = 2*t + 2   Since the speed depends on time, the speed is not constant at any time.

For the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=2 and t=5:

d(2) = 8 ft     and      d(5) = 35 ft

V_{2-5}=\frac{d(5)-d(2)}{5-2}=9 ft/s

Again, for the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=1.8 and t=2.1:

d(1.8) = 6.84 ft     and      d(2.1) = 8.61 ft

V_{1.8-2.1}=\frac{d(2.1)-d(1.8)}{2.1-1.8}=5.9 ft/s

The pupil of a cat's eye narrows to a slit width of 0.5 mm in daylight. What is the angular resolution of the cat's eye in dayli
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C. 10⁻³ rads

Explanation:

Here, we shall use Rayleigh's Criterion to find out the angular resolution of Cat's eye during day light. Rayleigh's Criterion is written as follows:

θ = λ/a

where,

θ = angular resolution of Cat's eye = ?

λ = wavelength = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

a = slit width of eye = 0.5 mm = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

θ = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m/5 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Therefore,

θ = 0.001

θ = Sin⁻¹(0.001)

θ = 0.001 rad = 1 x 10⁻³ rad

Hence, the correct answer is:

<u>C. 10⁻³ rads</u>

A block of gelatin is 120mm by 120mm by 40mm whrn unstressed. A force of 49N is applied tangentially to the upper surface causin
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The shearing stress is 10208.3333 Pa

The shearing strain is 0.25

The shear modulus is 40833.3332 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Block of gelatin of 120 mm x 120 mm by 40 mm

F = force = 49 N

Displacement = 10 mm

Questions: Find the shear modulus, Sm = ?, shearing stress, Ss = ?, shearing strain​, SS = ?

The shearing stress is defined as the force applied to the block over the projected area, first, it is necessary to calculate the area:

A = 40*120 = 4800 mm² = 0.0048 m²

The shearing stress:

Ss=\frac{F}{A} =\frac{49}{0.0048} =10208.3333Pa

The shearing strain is defined as the tangent of the displacement that the block over its length:

SS=tan\theta =\frac{Displacement}{L}  =\frac{10}{40} =0.25

Finally, the shear modulus is the division of the shearing stress over the shearing strain:

Sm=\frac{10208.3333}{0.25} =40833.3332Pa
