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.

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, $d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }$ ..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, $\lambda$ = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

$A_{m}$ = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

$sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}$

$sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}$

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

$d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m$

During the time interval from 0.0 to 10.0 s, the position vector of a car on a road is given by x(t) = a + bt + ct2, with a = 17

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The car’s velocity as a function of time is b + 2ct and the car’s average velocity during this interval is 0.9 m/s.

<h3>Average velocity of the car</h3>

The average velocity of the car is calculated as follows;

x(t) = a + bt + ct2

v = dx/dt

v(t) = b + 2ct

v(0) = -10.1 m/s + 2(1.1)(0) = -10.1 m/s

v(10) = -10.1 + 2(1.1)(10) = 11.9 m/s

<h3>Average velocity</h3>

V = ¹/₂[v(0) + v(10)]

V = ¹/₂ (-10.1 + 11.9 )

V = 0.9 m/s

Thus, the car’s velocity as a function of time is b + 2ct and the car’s average velocity during this interval is 0.9 m/s.
