A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

1)the car's engine power is 44000W. Explain this number in a physical sense
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1) It expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) P = 20 W

3) h = 18 km

Explanation:

1) Power is the rate of transfer of energy.

⇒ Power = \frac{Energy(or workdone)}{Time}

i.e P = \frac{E}{t}

Thus a car's engine power is 44000W implies that the engine of the car can propel the car at this rate. This expresses the rate (top speed) at which it can move with time.

2) m = 400g = 0.4 kg

    t = 20 s

h = 100m

g = 10 m/s^{2}

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

  = \frac{0.4*10*100}{20}

  = \frac{400}{20}

P = 20 W

3) u = 600 m/s

   g = 10 m/s^{2}

From the third equation of free fall,

V^{2} = U^{2} - 2gh

V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, h is the height.

0 = (600)^{2} - 2 x 10 x h

0 = 360000 - 20h

20h = 360000

h = \frac{360000}{20}

  = 18000

h = 18 km

The maximum height of the bullet would be 18 km.

Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy<br> True or False
Simora [160]

The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.
