Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T = ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

A 0.810 kg ball falls 2.5m. How much work does the force of gravity do on the ball?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

W = 19.845 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as W = Fdcos $\theta$ , where F is the force exerted and d is the distance. Because the direction the ball is falling is the same direction as the force itself, $\theta$ = 0 deg, and since cos(0) = 1, this equation is equivalent to W = Fd. In this case, the force exerted is the weight force, which is equivalent to m * g. Substituting you get:

W = mgd = 0.810 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.5m

W = 19.845 J

A solar cooker, really a concave mirror pointed at the Sun, focuses the Sun's rays 13.8 cm in front of the mirror. Part A What i

shepuryov [24]

From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

$f = \frac{R}{2}$

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

$R = 2f$

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

A Jeep accelerated at 2.2 m/s2 until after 18 seconds its displacement was 660 meters. Assuming the Jeep traveled in a straight

pogonyaev

Ok so we know:
The time (t) is 18seconds
The acceleration (a) is 2.2m/s2
The displacement (r) is 660

Using the equation
$r = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$
With 'u' being the initial velocity we want, we get:
$660 = 18u + 356.4$
So:
$18u = 303.6$
So:
$u = 16.8666$
So the original/initial velocity was 16.8666 or 16.87 m/s

Hope this helped
