What is the difference between parallel and series

1 answer:

5 0

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. ... In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

A 3047.8 kg truck has lost its brakes coming down a mountain. Fortunately, there is a ramp of thick gravel inclined at 9.5 degre

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The work done by the gravel to stop the truck is 520.44 kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the truck = 3047.8 kg

The ramp has an angle of 9.5 °

Velocity of the truck = 20.68 m/s

distance = 26.6 meters

Step 2: Calculate initial kinetic energy

sin 9.5° = 0.165

h = ℓ*sin 9.5° = 26.6*0.165= 4.39 m

Ek = 1/2m*Vo² = 1/2*3047.8*20.68² = 651714.7 Joule = 651.7 kJ = initial kinetic energy

Step 3: Calculate potential energy

Epot = U = m*g*h = 3047.8*9.81*4.39 = 131256.25 Joule = 131.26 kJ

Step 4: What work is done by the truck on the gravel?

Frictional energy Ef = 651.7 kJ - 131.26 kJ = 520.44 kJ

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3

kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, $a=25.4\ m/s^2$

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

$v=u+at$

$v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s$

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

$v^2=u^2+2ax_o$

$x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m$

Let $x_o$ is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)$

Now $a=-g$ and v and u will interchange

$u^2=2g(x-x_o)$

$x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

$x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}$

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be

Novosadov [1.4K]

It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
= kg * ms⁻²
= kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2

A car speeding down the highway honks its horn, which has a frequency 392 Hz, but a resting bystander hears the frequency 440 Hz

Natali [406]

Answer:

37.42 m/s

Explanation:

We know that apparent frequency, $\bar f$ is given by

$\bar f=f\frac {V}{V-V_s}$ where f is the given frequency in this case 392, V is the speed of sound in air which is given as 343 and $V_s$ is the speed of car which is unknown, \bar f is given as 440 Hz

$440=392\times \frac {343}{343-V_s}\\343-V_s=392\times \frac {343}{440}=305.5818182\\V_s=343-305.5818182=37.41818182\approx 37.42 m/s$
