Answer:

Current in each branch will be 2.5 A

Explanation:

We have given that a circuit has three branch each has a resistance of 37.5 ohm

We have also given that a total current of 7.5 A is flows through the circuit

As we know that in parallel circuit total current is the sum of current flowing through each branch

As the resistances of each branch is same so current will also be same

As there is 3 branches in circuit so current in each branch will be \frac{7.5}{3}=2.5A

A cylindrically shaped piece of collagen (a substance found in the body in connective tissue) is being stretched by a force that
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part(a): The value of the spring constant is 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}.

Part(b): The work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen is 1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J.

Explanation:

Part(a):

If 'k' be the force constant and if due the application of a force 'F' on the collagen '\Delta l' be it's increase in length, then from Hook's law

F = k~\Delta l....................................................................(I)

Also, Young's modulus of a material is given by

Y = \dfrac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}...............................................................(II)

where 'A' is the area of the material and 'l' is the length.

Comparing equation (I) and (II) we can write

&& Y = \dfrac{l~k}{A}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~A}{l}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~(\pi~r^{2})}{l}

Here, we have to consider only the circular surface of the collagen as force is applied only perpendicular to this surface.

Substituting the given values in equation (III), we have

k = \dfrac{3.10 \times 10^{6}~N~m^{-2} \times \pi \times (0.00093)^{2}~m^{2}}{.027~m} = 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}

Part(b):

We know the amount of work done (W) on the collagen is stored as a potential energy (U) within it. Now, the amount of work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen can be written as

W = \dfrac{1}{2}k~x^{2} = \dfrac{(\dfrac{F}{k})^{2}k}{2} = \dfrac{F^{2}}{2~k}...................................(IV)

Substituting all the values, we can write

W = \dfrac{(3.06 \times 10^{-2})^{2}~N^{2}}{2 \times 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}} = 1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J

Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.7 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m awa
polet [3.4K]

Answer: 557nm

Explanation:

Visible light has been known to have its wavelengths in the range between 400 to 700 nanometres (nm), or 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 m. This wavelength is between infrared and ultraviolet. Infrared has longer wavelengths and while on the other hand ultraviolet has shorter wavelengths. The wavelength of visible light has a frequency of approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz).

tanΦ= 0.0039/4 = 9.75*10^-4

Φ= tan^-1 (9.75*10^-4)

Φ= 0.056

λ= (5.7*10^-4) * sin 0.056

λ= 5.57*10^-7m

λ= 557nm

For an investigation, a teacher dropped a metal bolt into a container of maple syrup and asked students to remove the bolt witho
Aneli [31]

<em>Choice-C</em> is the right one.

-- The bolt didn't react to the magnet, and just laid there.  That tells you that the bolt was made of a non-magnetic material.

-- The bolt didn't float. It went straight to the bottom.  That tells you that it's more dense than the fluid around it.
