e other two, how does the power dissipated by one of the original resistorschange? Using that fact, why do you think houses use parallel circuits?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let assume the first connect have resistor R1 and R2

Then, this are connected in parallel

But, parallel connection of resistor have the same voltage.

So the power dissipated in each resistor is given as

P1=V²/R1

P2= V²/R2

If another resistor is added in parallel nothing change by the way each resistor dissipate power

Then, power dissipated in R3 is

P=V²/R3

Why we use parallel circuit at home

Parallel circuits are used in homes because the loads can be operated independently of each other.

Each load gets the full voltage of the circuit.

Explanation:

Resistors in parallel :

When resistors are connected in parallel, same voltage appears across each resistor in the circuit. The current is divided between resistors in a parallel circuit depending upon its resistance. If resistance is low then high current flows through it and vice versa.

Let us assume the three resistors are R₁, R₂, and R₃  

The power dissipated across each resistor is given by

P₁ = V²/R₁

P₂ = V²/R₂

P₃ = V²/R₃

Why parallel connection in house wiring?

We use parallel connection in house wiring so that each device gets same line voltage (120V, 220V, 240V etc ) and the devices are independently connected or disconnected from the circuit without affecting any other device.

This is not possible in case of series circuit, where each device would get reduced voltage due overall higher resistance.

As the number of devices increases the voltage across each device also increases.

If one device malfunctions then other devices in the series circuit would be compromised hence poor reliability.

29. What is the average velocity of an object that moves
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Average Velocity = - 1.22 cm/s = - 0.0122 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by the object to the total time taken by the object to cover the distance. Therefore, the average velocity of an object can be found by the following formula:

Average Velocity = Total Distance Covered/Total Time Taken

Average Velocity = (Final Position - Initial Position)/Total Time Taken

Average Velocity = (3.7 cm - 6.5 cm)/(2.3 s)

Average Velocity = (- 2.8 cm)/(2.3 s)

<u>Average Velocity = - 1.22 cm/s = - 0.0122 m/s</u>

here, the negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity or the movement of the object is leftwards or towards the origin approaching from right.

During a certain comet’s orbit around the Sun, its closest distance to the Sun is 0.6 AU, and its farthest distance from the Sun
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

At the closest point

Explanation:

We can simply answer this question by applying Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion.

It states that:

"A line connecting the center of the Sun to any other object orbiting around it (e.g. a comet) sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals"

In this problem, we have a comet orbiting around the Sun:

- Its closest distance  from the Sun is 0.6 AU

- Its farthest distance from the Sun is 35 AU

In order for Kepler's 2nd law to be valid, the line connecting the center of the Sun to the comet must move slower when the comet is farther away (because the area swept out is proportional to the product of the distance and of the velocity: A\propto vr, therefore if r is larger, then v (velocity) must be lower).

On the other hand, when the the comet is closer to the Sun the line must move faster (A\propto vr, if r is smaller, v must be higher). Therefore, the comet's orbital velocity will be the largest at the closest distance to the Sun, 0.6 A.

Find the magnitude and direction for 101m,60.0,85.0m
Crank

Answer:

magnitude = 161.3m, ∅ = 32.9°

Explanation:

Vector addition always works the same. Add two vectors by adding their respective components.

vector A: \left[\begin{array}{c}85.0&0.0\end{array}\right]

vector B:101.0\left[\begin{array}{c} cos60.0&sin 60.0\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}50.5&87.5\end{array}\right]

Adding vector A and B: \left[\begin{array}{c}85.0&0.0\end{array}\right] +\left[\begin{array}{c}50.5&87.5\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}135.5&87.5\end{array}\right]

The magnitude of any vector \left[\begin{array}{c}a&b\end{array}\right] is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

magnitude = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

In the case of the vector A+B:

magnitude = \sqrt{135.5^2+87.5^2}

The angle ∅ of the vector can by found by using trigonometric functions:

For instance, the angle ∅ for a vector \left[\begin{array}{c}a&b\end{array}\right] is given by the equation:

tan\phi= \frac{b}{a}

The direction ∅ can be found by solving the trigonometric function.

In the example of vector A+B:

tan\phi = \frac{87.5}{135.5}

Solving for ∅:

\phi = tan^{-1} (\frac{87.5}{135.5})=32.9

A block of mass m = 2.20 kg slides down a 30.0° incline which is 3.60 m high. At the bottom, it strikes a block of mass M = 6.80
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

(a) The speed of the lighter block is v_{2x} = 3.7~m/s.

    The speed of the heavier block is v_{3x} = 3.55~m/s.

(b) The smaller block goes up to 0.69 m.

Explanation:

We will divide this question into three parts: Part A is for the smaller mass from the top of the incline to the collision. Part B is the collision. And Part C is for the smaller mass from the bottom to the highest point it can achieve.

In order to solve this question, I will assume that the smaller mass is initially at rest.

Part A:

We will use conservation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2\\0 + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2  + 0\\(2.2)(9.8)(3.6) = \frac{1}{2}(2.2)v_1^2\\v_1 = 8.4 ~m/s

This is the speed of the smaller mass just before the collision. The velocity of the mass is directed 30° above horizontal, since the mass is sliding down the incline.

Part B:

Momentum is a vector identity, so the x- and y-components of momentum are to be investigated separately. Since the collision occurs at the horizontal surface, only the x-component of momentum is conserved.

P_1 = P_2\\mv_{1x} = mv_{2x} + Mv_{3x}\\(2.2)(8.4\cos(30^\circ)) = (2.2)v_{2x} + (6.8)v_{3x}\\16 = 2.2v_{2x} + 6.8v_{3x}

During the collision kinetic energy is also conserved. Since kinetic energy is a scalar quantity, we don't have to separate its components.

K_{initial} = K_{final}\\\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2 + \frac{1}{2}Mv_{3x}^2\\(2.2)(8.4)^2 = (2.2)v_{2}^2 + (6.8)v_{3x}^2\\155.23 = 2.2v_{2}^2 + 6.8v_{3x}^2

The following relation will be used when combining the two equations:

v_{2x} = v_2\cos{30^\circ}

The following equation is useful for combining the two equations:

v_{3x} = \frac{2m}{(m+M)}v_{1x} = \frac{2(2.2)}{(2.2 + 6.8)}(8.4\cos(30^\circ)) = 3.55~m/s

Therefore from the first equation,

16 = 2.2v_{2x} + 6.8v_{3x} = 2.2v_{2x} + 6.8(3.55) \\v_{2x} = -3.7~m/s

Part C:

We will again use the conservation of energy to find the highest point that the mass can go:

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2\\\frac{1}{2}mv_{2x}^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH\\\frac{1}{2}(2.2)(-3.7)^2 = (2.2)(9.8)H\\H = 0.69 ~m

Early investigators (including Thomas Young) measured the thickness of wool fibers using diffraction. One early instrument used
umka21 [38]

Answer:

w= 1.867\times10^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

fibers diameter d= 18 μm

distance of the screen D= 30 cm

wavelength λ= 560 nm

we know that fringe width

w=\frac{2\lambda D}{d}

putting values we get

w=\frac{2\times560\times10^{-9}\times0.3}{18\times10^{-6}

w= 1.867\times10^{-2}
