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.

During 9.97 seconds a motorcyclist changes his velocity from v1,x = -36.5 m/s and v1,y = 10.9 m/s to v2,x =-21.9 m/s and v2,y =

svetoff [14.1K]

Average acceleration is defined as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

here

$v_f = final\: speed$

$v_i = initial\: speed$

$t = time$

now for x direction we can say

$a_x = \frac{v_{2x} - v_{1x}}{t}$

$a_x = \frac{-21.9 + 36.5}{9.97}$

$a_x = 1.46 m/s^2$

Similarly for Y direction

$a_y = \frac{v_{2y} - v_{1y}}{t}$

$a_y = \frac{27.5 - 10.9}{9.97}$

$a_y = 1.66 m/s^2$

so above is the acceleration in x and y directions

A German Shepherd takes 4 hours to cover a distance, if it travels at a speed of 36mph. What should be its speed to cover the sa

agasfer [191]

Answer:

v₂ = 48 mph

Explanation:

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

A German Shepherd takes 4 hours to cover a distance, if it travels at a speed of 36mph.

We need to find the speed to cover the same distance in 3 hours.

$\dfrac{v_1}{v_2}=\dfrac{t_2}{t_1}\\\\v_2=\dfrac{v_1t_1}{t_2}\\\\v_2=\dfrac{36\times 4}{3}\\\\v_2=48\ mph$

So, the new speed is 48 mph.

Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 N⋅m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0 kg⋅m2 . Assu

Step2247 [10]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Work and Kinetic Energy. Work from the rotational movement is described as

$W=\tau \Delta\theta$

In the case of rotational kinetic energy we know that

$KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

PART A) $\theta$ is given in revolutions and needs to be in radians therefore

$\theta = 12rev(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\theta = 24\pi rad$

Replacing in the work equation we have to

$W=\tau \Delta\theta$

$W= (25)(24\pi)$

$W = 1884.95J$

PART B) From the torque and moment of inertia it is possible to calculate the angular acceleration and the final speed, with which the kinetic energy can be determined.

$\tau = I \alpha$
