<h2>All waves must ____ have to travel through </h2>

Explanation:

Wave

It is the periodic disturbance in a medium.

Types of Wave

There are two types of wave in general depending upon their propagation through a substance.

• Mechanical

• Electromagnetic

Mechanical Wave

It is the kind of wave which needs medium to travel. For example: Sound Wave

That means sound can be heard only whenever there is presence of certain substance like water, glass, air etc .It can’t be heard in vacuum no matter how loud is the sound.

Electromagnetic Wave

Is that which can travel through medium as well as through vacuum. For example: Light

But unlike sound, light can be seen through a substance or in vacuum. That is the reason it is referred as electromagnetic wave.

A 5.0 Ω resistor is hooked up in series with a 10.0 Ω resistor followed by a 20.0 Ω resistor. The circuit is powered by a 9.0 V

yan [13]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) Attached to the response as Figure 1.

(b) 35.0Ω

Across 10.0Ω = 2.6Ω

Across 20.0Ω = 5.2Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The labelled circuit using the correct symbols (for the resistors and battery) has been attached to this response.

(b) Since the resistors are hooked up in series, their equivalent resistance R, is found by adding the individual resistances of the resistors (R₁, R₂ and R₃). i.e

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ -------------------(i)

Where;

R₁ = 5.0 Ω

R₂ = 10.0 Ω

R₃ = 20.0 Ω

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

∴ R = 5.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω + 20.0 Ω

∴ R = 35.0 Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is ∴ R = 35.0Ω

(c) When resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them. To get the current through each resistor;

i. First, replace the resistors by their equivalent resistor as calculated above. The diagram has been attached to this response.

ii. As seen in the diagram, the current flowing through the equivalent resistor can be calculated using Ohm's law as follows;

V = I R ------------------(ii)

Where;

V = Voltage supplied to the circuit = 9.0V

I = Current through the circuit

R = Resistance of the equivalent resistor = 35.0Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii)

9.0 = I x 35.0

I = $\frac{9.0}{35.0}$

I = 0.26A

This is also the current flowing through each of the resistors separately.

iii. Calculate the voltage drop across

1.<em> 5.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 5.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 5.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 5.0Ω resistor = 5.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 5.0

=> V = 1.3V

2.<em> 10.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 10.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 10.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 10.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 10.0

=> V = 2.6V

3.<em> 20.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 20.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 20.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 20.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 20.0

=> V = 5.2V

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c

amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She th

aliina [53]

Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

$u_y = u sin \theta$

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

$\theta=33.5^{\circ}$ is the angle

Substituting,

$u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s$

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

$y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

$g = -9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

$0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2$

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

$u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s$

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

$d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m$

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction

Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.
