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.

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 1.45-g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

charge will be equal to 2.03\times 10^{-5}C  

Explanation:

We have given mass of the particle m = 1.45 gram = 0.00145 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Electric field E = 700 N/C

Electric force will be equal to F=qE, here q is charge and E is electric field

For particle to be stationary this force must be equal to force due to gravity , that is mg force

So qE = mg

q=\frac{mg}{E}=\frac{0.00145\times 9.8}{700}=2.03\times 10^{-5}C

So charge will be equal to 2.03\times 10^{-5}C

Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?
gregori [183]
Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before.  When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels for 2.3 hours at that speed while on the freeway. What's th
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

Explanation:

The school bus travels on the freeway at constant speed. According to the statement, we need to calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle by means of the following formula:

x = v\cdot t (1)

Where:

x - Traveled distance, in miles.

v - Speed, in miles per hour.

t - Time, in hours.

If we know that v = 65\,\frac{mi}{h} and t = 2.3\,h, then the distance travelled by the school bus is:

x = v\cdot t

x =  \left(65\,\frac{mi}{h} \right)\cdot (2.3\,h)

x = 149.5\,mi

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

A bus is moving at a speed of 150km/hr. Begins to slow at a constant rate of 3.0m/s each second. Find how far it goes before sto
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Distance = 13.9 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum speed = 150 km/hr to meters per seconds = 150 * 1000/3600 = 41.67 m/s

Decelerating speed = 3m/s

To find the distance travelled with this speed;

Distance = maximum speed/decelerating speed

Distance = 41.67/3

Distance = 13.9 meters

Therefore, the bus would travel a distance of 13.9 meters before stopping.

The drum of a washing machine spins at 200 rpm the drum had a radius of 0.5m what will the centripetal force experienced by a to
miskamm [114]

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.

The given parameters;

  • angular speed of the washing machine, ω = 200 rpm
  • radius of the machine' drum, r = 0.5 m
  • mass of the towel, m = 0.25 kg

The centripetal force experienced by the towel spinning along the walls of the drum is calculated as follows;

Fc = mrω²

where;

<em>Fc is the centripetal force</em>

<em>ω is angular speed in rad/s</em>

The angular speed in rad/s is calculate as;

\omega = \frac{200 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 \ s} \\\\\omega = 20.95 \ rad/s

The centripetal force experienced by the towel is calculated as;

F_c = mr\omega ^2\\\\F_c = 0.25 \times 0.5 \times (20.95)^2\\\\F_c = 54.9 \ N \ \approx 55 \ N

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the towel is 55 N.
