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.

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is $v = 350 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is d = 4.00 m

The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is I = 5.00 m

The change in the distance of the speaker is by $k = 60 cm = 0.6 \ m$

The frequency of both speakers is $f = 700 \ Hz$

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

$L_1 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = 5.39 \ m$

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is

$L_2 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}$

$L_2 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}$

$L_2 = 5.64 \ m$

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

$pD = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \lambda}{2}$

Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \frac{v}{f}}{2}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

Here n is the order of the maxima with value of n = 1 this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=> $5.64 - 5.39 = \frac{1 * v}{2*700}$

=> $v = 350 \ m/s$

rewona [7]

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W = R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n = 34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W = (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ

GrogVix [38]

Answer: In a battery, voltage determines how strongly electrons are pushed through a circuit, much like pressure determines how strongly water is pushed through a hose. Most AAA, AA, C, and D batteries are around 1.5 volts. Imagine the batteries shown in the diagram are rated at 1.5 volts and 500 milliamp-hours.

Explanation: Today "AA" is frequently used as a size designation, irrespective of the battery's electrochemical system. The main numbers used for the most common NiMH and NiCad battery
