We repeat the experiment from the video, but this time we connect the wires in parallel rather than in series. Which wire will n

Answer:

Explanation:

The wire which is connected in series will dissipate the most heat.

The reason behind this fact is that, for the wire connected in series, there is only one path for the flow of electrons that's why electron face more opposition and thus more heat dissipation. However, in parallel connecting wires, alternate paths are available for the flow of electrons. That's why the electrons do not face that much opposition as in series case as the path and the flow is divided.

You can understand this concept by the example of traffic on the roads. If there is a single road, then you have to face the more opposition and you will have the less passage to drive through. However if there are parallel roads, then the traffic will got more space to move. It will become easier for them and opposition will be reduced. Hope you understand it :)

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}

k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}

t=20.7\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.

A 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

Wha is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5.5 × 10-2 hertz

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

= 0.055 per second          (1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 X 10^{-2} hertz.

Hopes this helps, love <3
