Answer:

<u><em>Sample Response</em></u>: Stu's answer was incorrect. According to Ohm's law, R = V/I. This is the equation that should be used to obtain the correct answer, which is 8 ohms.

Answer:

The answer is not correct.

Explanation:

Stu's answer is not correct, the equation to use is known as the law of ohm. In which the voltage is defined as the product of the current by the resistance, then we will see this equation.

V = I*R\\where:\\I = current [amp]\\R = resistance [ohm]\\V = voltage [volts]\\

In order to find resistance, this term is found multiplying the current on the right side of the equation, therefore the current will be divided on the left side of the equation.

R=\frac{V}{I} \\replacing:\\R=\frac{4}{0.5} \\R=8[ohms]

That is the reason that the result found by Stu is not correct.

A player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the h
dybincka [34]

Given,

A player kicks a soccer hits at an angle of 30° at a speed of 26 m/s

We can resolute the trajectory of soccer into horizontal and vertical components.(Please see the attached file)

We can have,

Horizontal velocity component of ball= 26cos(30°)  = 26×(√3÷2) = 22.51 m/s

And vertical velocity component of ball = 26sin(26°) = 26×(1÷2) = 13 m/s

Learning Task 1: Define or describe the following words relat are not familiar with the word, you may ask assistance from y your
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1.) TABLE = The table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23 cm (9.1 in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30 cm (11.8 in), or about 77%.

2.) TENNIS = Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court.

3.) PING-PONG = Table tennis, also known as ping-pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the ping-pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. ... Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.

4.) NET = This is stretched across the centter of the table by a cord attached to a post at either end. It measures 6ft long and the ball must pass over it for a rally to continue.

5.) BALL = The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The ball, which may be coloured white, yellow, or orange, weighs about 0.09 ounce (2.7 grams) and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches (4 cm).

6.) RACKET = A table tennis racket is made up of two distinct parts - a wooden blade which incorporates the handle together with table tennis rubbers affixed to each side of the blade using water-based glue.

Find the value of currents through each branch
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

Explanation:

You can write the KVL equations:

Top left loop:

  I2(4) +(I2 +I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Bottom left loop:

  (I1-I2)(4) +(I1-I2-I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Right loop:

  (I2+I3)(2) +(I2+I3-I1)(2) = 5

In matrix form, the equations are ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6&2\\7&-6&-2\\-2&4&4\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}10\\10\\5\end{array}\right]

These equations have the solution ...

  \left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}2.500\\0.625\\1.875\end{array}\right]

This means the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

_____

This can be worked almost in your head by using the superposition theorem. When the 5V source is shorted, the 10V source is supplying (I1) to a circuit that is the 4 Ω and 2 Ω resistors in parallel with their counterparts, and that 2+1 Ω combination in series with 1 Ω for a total of a 4Ω load on the 10 V source. That is, I1 due to the 10V source is 2.5 A, and it is nominally split in half through the upper and lower branches of the circuit. There is no current flowing through the (shorted) 5 V source branch.

When the 10V source is shorted, the 5V source is supplying a 4 +4 Ω branch in parallel with a 2 +2 Ω branch, a total load of 8/3 Ω. This makes the current from that source (I3) be 5/(8/3) = 15/8 = 1.875 A. There is zero current from this source through the 1 Ω resistor.

Nominally, the current from the 5V source splits 2/3 through the 2 Ω branch and 1/3 through the 4 Ω branch.

Using superposition, I2 = I1/2 -I3/3 = (2.5 A/2) -(1/3)(15/8 A) = 0.625 A. This is the same answer as above, without any matrix math.

  (I1, I2, I3) = (2.5 A, 0.625 A, 1.875 A)

__

It helps to be familiar with the formulas for resistors in series and parallel.

A 234.0 g piece of lead is heated to 86.0oC and then dropped into a calorimeter containing 611.0 g of water that initally is at
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:24.70 ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given

mass of lead piece m_l=234 gm\approx 0.234 kg

mass of water in calorimeter m_w=611 gm\approx 0.611 kg

Initial temperature of water T_w=24^{\circ}C

Initial temperature of lead piece T_l=24^{\circ}C

we know heat capacity of lead and water are 125.604 J/kg-k and 4.184 kJ/kg-k respectively

Let us take T ^{\circ}C be the final temperature of the system

Conserving energy

heat lost by lead=heat gained by water

m_lc_l(T_l-T)=m_wc_w(T-T_w)

0.234\times 125.604(86-T)=0.611\times 4.184\times 1000(T-24)

86-T=\frac{0.611\times 4.184\times 1000}{29.391}(T-24)

86-T=86.97T-2087.49

T=\frac{2173.491}{87.97}=24.70^{\circ}C

In order to model the motion of an extinct ape, scientists measure its hand and arm bones. From shoulder to wrist, the arm bones
wel

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

Let the shoulder be the origin.

The center of mass of the arm bones is 0.60 m/2 = 0.30 m and the center of mass of the hand bones is 0.10 m/2 = 0.05 m since they are modeled as straight rods with uniform density and the center of mass of a rod is x = L/2 where L is the length of the rod.

The center of mass y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂) where m₁ = mass of arm bones = 4.0 kg, y₁ = distance center of mass of arm bones  from shoulder = 0.30 m, m₂ = mass of hand bones = 1.0 kg and y₂ = distance of center of mass hand bones from shoulder = x₁ + distance of center of hand bones from wrist = 0.60 m + 0.05 m = 0.65 m

Substituting these into the equation for the center of mass, we have

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂)/(m₁ + m₂)

y = (4.0 kg × 0.30 m + 1.0 kg × 0.65 m)/(4.0 kg + 1.0 kg)

y = (1.20 kgm + 0.65 kgm)/5.0 kg

y = 1.85 kgm/5.0 kg

y =  0.37 m

The distance of the center of mass from the shoulder is thus y = 0.37 m
