Answer:

1. will blow because the total current in this circuit is 14 A which is greater than 12 A.

Explanation:

According to Kirchoff current law (KCL) which states that the total current flowing in a circuit is equal to the sum of the individual branch current.

If the supply current is greater than the sum of the individual branch current, then the load will collapse or blow off.

In the question given, the total current of the fuse is 12A

Sum of branch currents = current in branch 1 + current in branch 2

= 8A+6A

= 14A

As we can see that the supply current is lower than the sum of the branch current, this will cause the fuse to blow because some of the branch current will be sent back on the fuse and thereby causing the fuse to blow.

A bus accelerates to 60 m/s to the east in 10 s. What is the buses acceleration? 2. A car traveling at 10.0 m/s to the west acce

Answers:

1) $a=6\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

2) $t=8s$

Explanation:

1) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of Velocity $V$ in time $t$ :

$a=\frac{V}{t}$ (1)

A body also has acceleration when it changes its direction.

In this case we have a bus with a velocity of 60m/s to the east, that accelerates in a time 10s. So, we have to find the bus's acceleration:

$a=\frac{60m/s}{10s}$ (2)

$a=6m/s^{2}$ (3) This is the bus's accelerration

2) Now we have a car that accelerates $2m/s^{2}$ to the west in order to reach a speed of $16m/s$ in the same direction, and we have to find the time $t$ it takes to the car to reach that velocity.

Therefore we have to find $t$ from (1):

$t=\frac{V}{a}$ (4)

$t=\frac{16m/s}{2m/s^{2}}$ (5)

Finally:

$t=8s$ (6)

It is known that the kinetics of recrystallization for some alloy obeys the Avrami equation, andthat the value of n in the expon

trapecia [35]

Answer: $8.76\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

n=5

0.3 fraction recrystallize after 100 min

According to Avrami equation

$y=1-e^{-kt^n}$

where y=fraction Transformed

k=constant

t=time

$0.3=1-e^{-k(100)^5}$

$e^{-k(100)^5} =0.7$

Taking log both sides

$-k\cdot (10^{10}=\ln 0.7$

$k=3.566\times 10^{-11}$

At this Point we want to compute $t_{0.5}\ i.e.\ y=0.5$

$0.5=1-e^{-kt^n}$

$0.5=e^{-kt^n}$

$0.5=e^{-3.566\times 10^{-11}\cdot (t)^5}$

taking log both sides

$\ln 0.5=-3.566\times 10^{-11}\cdot (t)^5$

$t^5=1.943\times 10^{10}$

$t=114.2 min$

Rate of Re crystallization at this temperature

$t^{-1}=8.76\times 10^{-3} min^{-1}$

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro

Zielflug [23.3K]

<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

What type of motion does the galaxy go through

Mariana [72]

Well, it depends. Your latitude on Earth--that is, how close you are to the equator--and the time of year make a difference. I'll explain why. Your motion is made up of four pieces: the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the motion of the Earth around the Sun, the Sun's orbit about the center of the galaxy, and the motion of the whole galaxy.
