When a steady current flows through a resistor, the resistor heats up. We say that "electrical energy is dissipated" by the resi

stor, that is, converted into heat. But if energy is dissipated, where did it come from? Did it come from the voltage source through the wires?

Answer:

The dissipated energy in a resistor comes from the potential electric energy of a current source. This is known as the Joule effect. In fact, this energy is carried by the wires until the resistor.

How did the magnet’s density measurement using the Archimedes’ Principle compare to the density measurement using the calculated
guapka [62]

Answer:

The two methods will yield different results as one is subject to experimental errors that us the Archimedes method of measurement, the the density measurement method will be more accurate

Explanation:

This is because the density method using the calculated volume will huve room for less errors that's occur in practical method i.e Archimedes method due to human error

Consider a uniform horizontal wooden board that acts as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has a mass of 300 kg and a length of 10
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F = 2123.33N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the torque applied by the left support, you take into account that the system is at equilibrium. Then, the resultant of the implied torques are zero.

\Sigma \tau=0

Next, you calculate the resultant of the torques around the right support, by taking into account that the torques are generated by the center of mass of the wooden, the person and the left support. Furthermore, you take into account that torques in a clockwise direction are negative and in counterclockwise are positive.

Then, you obtain the following formula:

-\tau_l+\tau_p+\tau_{cm}=0          (1)

τl: torque produced by the left support

τp: torque produced by the person

τcm: torque produced by the center of mass of the wooden

The torque is given by:

\tau=Fd           (2)

F: force applied

d: distance to the pivot of the torque, in this case, distance to the right support.

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1) and take into account that the force applied by the person and the center of mass of the wood are the their weight:

-Fd_1+W_pd_2+W_{cm}d_3=0\\\\d_1=6.0m\\\\d_2=2.0m\\\\d_3=3.0m\\\\W_p=(200kg)(9.8m/s^2)=1960N\\\\W_{cm}=(300kg)(9.8m/s^2)=2940N

Where d1, d2 and d3 are distance to the right support.

You solve the equation for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

F=\frac{W_pd_2+W_d_3}{d_1}=\frac{(1960N)(2.0m)+(2940N)(3.0m)}{6.0m}\\\\F=2123.33N

The force applied by the left support is 2123.33 N

A typical wall outlet voltage is 120 volts in the United States. Personal MP3 players require much smaller voltages, typically 2
butalik [34]

Answer:        

Number of turns in secondary will be 7

Explanation:

We have given primary voltage V_p=120volt

Number of turns in the primary is N_p=3575

Secondary voltage is given V_s=235mV=0.235volt

We have to find the number of turns in secondary

We know that \frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}

So \frac{3575}{N_s}=\frac{120}{0.235}

N_s=6.60

As the number of turns can not be in decimal so number of turns will be 7

A uniform 2.50m ladder of mass 7.30kg is leaning against a vertical wall while making an angle of 51.0degree with the floor. A w
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

19.95 J

Explanation:

The center of mass of the ladder is initially at a height of:

h_1=\frac{L}{2}sin\theta

The center of mass of the ladder ends at a height of:

h_2= \frac{L}{2}sin90 =L/2

So, the work done is equal to the change in potential energy which is:

W = PE = mg(h_2-h_1)

now h_2-h_1= 1-sin\theta

therefore

W = [mgL/2]×[1 - sin(theta)]

W = [(7.30)(9.81)(2.50)/2]×[1-sin(51°)]

solving this we get

W = 19.95 J
