A parallel circuit has multiple paths from the energy source to the resistors (e.x., lightbulbs). If one bulb was to burn out, the rest would stay on, unlike a series circuit. If one bulb was to burn out, the circuit is no longer fully connected because there is only one path from the energy source to the resistors. But, despite these differences, they are similar in the way that they do have paths from the energy source to the resistors.

Explanation:

A system of resistors can be arranged in two ways i.e. series combination and parallel combination.

In series combination of resistors, the current flowing across each and every resistor is same while the potential difference divides. The equivalent resistance in series combination is given by :

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+.......+R_n

In parallel combination of resistors, the potential difference across each and every resistor is same while the current divides. The equivalent resistance is parallel combination is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+.........+\dfrac{1}{R_n}

A 0.83-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling. A second block is attached to the first one
vodomira [7]

Answer:

1.66 kg

Explanation:

Given that a 0.83-kg block is hung from and stretches a spring that is attached to the ceiling.

From Hook's law

F = Ke

But F = mg

Substitute mg for force in the Hook's law

Mg = ke

0.83 × 9.8 = ke

Make K the subject of formula

8.134 = Ke

K = 8.134 /e

Given that a second block is attached to the first one, and the amount that the spring stretches from its unstretched length triples.

That is

(0.83 + M) × 9.8 = K (3e)

Substitutes K into the above equation

(0.83 + M) × 9.8 = 8.134 / e (3e)

The e will cancel out

(0.83 + M) × 9.8 = 24.402

0.83 + M = 24.402/9.8

0.83 + M = 2.49

M = 2.49 - 0.83

M = 1.66 kg

Therefore, the mass of the second block is 1.66kg

If a cup of coffee has temperature 95∘C95∘C in a room where the temperature is 20∘C,20∘C, then, according to Newton's Law of Coo
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

T = 76.39°C

Explanation:

given,

coffee cup temperature = 95°C

Room temperature= 20°C

expression

T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}

temperature at t = 0

T( 0 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-0}{50}}

T(0) = 95°C

temperature after half hour of cooling

T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}

t = 30 minutes

T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}}

T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 \times 0.5488

T(30) = 61.16° C

average of first half hour will be equal to

T = \dfrac{1}{30-0}\int_0^30(20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}})\ dt

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - \dfrac{75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}}{\dfrac{1}{50}})]_0^30

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - 3750e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}]_0^30

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20\times 30 - 3750 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}} + 3750]

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[600 - 2058.04 + 3750]

T = 76.39°C

How many turns should a 10-cm long solenoid have if it is to generate a 1.5 x 10-3 t magnetic field on 1.0 a of current?
stepan [7]

We can answer this problem using Ampere’s Law:

<span>Bh = μoNI </span>

Where:

B = Magnetic Field

h = coil length

<span>μo = permeability =4π*10^-7 T·m/A </span>

N = number of turns

I = current

It is given that B=0.0015T, I=1.0A, h=10 cm = 0.1m<span>

Use Ampere's law to find # turns: 
Which can be rewritten as: 
<span>N = Bh/μoI </span>
N = (0.0015)(0.1)/(4π*10^-7)(1.0) 
N = 119.4 

</span>

<span>Answer: 119.4 turns</span>

d) To calculate air pressure, the volume occupied by air is assumed constant. Why is this incorrect? Explain how the vapor press
Aleks [24]

Answer:

the volume occupied by air is not constant because as we add ethanol in it it will keep decreasing.

vapor pressure calculated and clausius-Claperon plot are affected because volume and vapor pressure are directly proportional.

Explanation:

by charle's law volume and temperature are directly proportional and vapor pressure is directly proportional to temperature thus volume and vapor pressure are also directly proportional by  this relation
