Stu wanted to calculate the resistance of a light bulb connected to a 4.0-V battery, with a resulting current of 0.5 A. He used

the formula R = VI and obtained an answer of 2 . Was Stu’s answer correct? How do you know?

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.

Which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.

A roller coaster has a "hump" and a "loop" for riders to enjoy (see picture). The top of the hump has a radius of curvature of 1

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_n = 306 N$

Part b)

$v = 12.1 m/s$

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Explanation:

Part a)

By force equation on the rider at the position of the hump we can say

$mg - F_n = ma_c$

now we will have

$mg - F_n = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$F_n = mg - \frac{mv^2}{R}$

now we have

$F_n = 100(9.81) - \frac{100(9^2)}{12}$

$F_n = 981 - 675$

$F_n = 306 N$

Part b)

At the top of the loop if the minimum speed is required so that it remains in contact so we will have

$F_n + mg = ma_c$

$F_n = 0$ at minimum speed

$mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$v = \sqrt{Rg}$

$v = \sqrt{15 \times 9.81}$

$v = 12.1 m/s$

So this speed is independent of the mass of the rider

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, $m_1=3\ kg$

Speed of the first ball, $v_1=20\ m/s$ (upward)

Mass of the other ball, $m_2=2\ kg$

Speed of the other ball, $v_2=-12\ m/s$ (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$V=\dfrac{3\times 20+2\times (-12)}{3+2}$

V = 7.2 m/s

Let h is the height reached by the combined balls of putty rise above the collision point. Using the conservation of energy as :

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2$

$h=\dfrac{V^2}{2g}$

$h=\dfrac{7.2^2}{2\times 9.8}$

h = 2.64 meters

So, the height reached by the combined mass is 2.64 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
