We are asked to solve and determine the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device. In order for us to have a better understanding of the problem, we can refer to the attached picture which contains electric circuit diagram. Since it the problem we are already given with an electromotive source or the voltage supply and since the two resistance is in parallel, it would clearly mean that the voltage drop in each resistance is just the same. The resistance 1 uses the 40 volts at the same time the resistance 2 uses 40 volts also. Solving further for the current, we can apply Ohm's law which V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance.

Such as the solution in obtaining current is shown below:
I = V / R, substitute values we have it
I = 40 volts / 1208 ohms
I = 0.0331 Amperes

Therefore, the current flowing in the first device is 0.033 Amperes or 33 milliAmperes.

When the distance between two stars decreases by one-third, the force between them
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

the force will increase by a factor 2.25

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the two stars is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two stars

r is the distance between the stars

If the distance is decreased by one-third, it means that the new distance is 2/3 of the previous distance

r'=\frac{2}{3}r

So the new force will be

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(\frac{2}{3}r)^2}=\frac{9}{4} G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}=2.25 F

So, the force will be 2.25 times the previous value.

A current is established in a gas discharge tube when a sufficiently high potential difference is applied across the two electro
pishuonlain [190]

Explanation:

It is given that the number of electrons passing through the cross-sectional area in 1 s is 3.4 \times 10^{18}. Also, we know that charge on an electron is -1.60 \times 10^{-19} C, then negative charge crossing to the left per second is  as follows.

         I- = 3.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times -1.6 x 10^{-19} C/electrons

         I- = 0.544 A

As it is given that the number of protons crossing per second is 1.4 \times 10^{18}, as the charge on the proton is +1.60 \times 10^{-19} C, then positive charge crossing to the right per second is calculated as follows.

          I+ = 1.4 \times 10^{18} electrons \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} electrons/C

            I+ = 0.224 A

          I = l I+ l + l I- l

So,    I = 0.544 + 0.224

            = 0.768 A

Thus, we can conclude that the current in given hydrogen discharge tube is 0.768 A.

A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length L=14.0 m, and mass mp=17.5 kg. The daredevil grip
Artemon [7]

Answer:

F = 32.28 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation

          Σ τ = 0

In the initial configuration it is in equilibrium, for which all the torque and forces are compensated. By the time the payment lands on the bar, we assume that the counter-clockwise turns are positive.

          W_bird  L / 2 - F_left 0.595 - F_right 0.595 = 0

we assume that the magnitude of the forces applied by the hands is the same

          F_left = F_right = F

          W_bird L / 2 - 2 F 0.595 = 0

          F = \frac{m_{bird} \ g L} { 4 \ 0.595}

   

we calculate

         F = 0.560 9.8 14.0 /2.38

         F = 32.28 N

A 2.0-ohm resistor is connected in a series with a 20.0 -V battery and a three-branch parallel network with branches whose resis
Dima020 [189]

4.3A.

The easiest way to solve this problem is find the equivalent resistance for parallel resistor 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 in the three-branch parallel network with branches whose resistance are 8Ω.

1/Req = 1/8 Ω + 1/8 Ω + 1/8 Ω

1/Req = 3/8 Ω

Req = 8/3 Ω = 2.667Ω

Req = 2.7Ω

So, the equivalent circuit will be the 20.0V battery in series with a resistor  2.0Ω and the equivalent resistor 2.7Ω.

Using Ohm's Law to find the current provide by the 20.0V voltage source:

V = I*R ------> I = V/R

I = 20.0V/(2.0Ω + 2.7Ω)

I = 20.0V/4.7Ω

I = 4.3A
