Answer:

A series circuit

Explanation:

Resistors can be connected in two different configurations:

- Series: all resistors are connected along the same path. In this case, the current flowing through each resistor is the same, while the potential difference across each resistor is different. The total resistance of the circuit for resistor in series is given by

$R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ...$

- Parallel: each resistor is connected to the same batter through a different branch. In this case, the potential difference across each resistor is the same, while the current flowing through each resistor is different. The total resistance of the circuit for resistors in parallel is given by

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...$

In this problem, we have resistors all connected in the same path, so they are connected in a series configuration.

This is what is known as a series circuit. People advise to not use these and use the much more useful parallel circuits, which have resistors on separate paths.
I hope this helps!

A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

$K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}$

K.E= kinetic energy = $0.991\times 10^{-19}J$

m= mass of an electron = $9.109\times 10^{-31}kg$

v= velocity of object = ?

Putting in the values in the equation:

$0.991\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{1\times 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg\times v^2}{2}$

$v=466462m/s$

The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that

$F_x=cx-3x^2$

K.E at x=0 m=20 J

K.E at x=3 m=11 J

We have to find the value of c.

By work energy theorem

Work done=Change in kinetic energy

W= $\int_{0}^{3} Fdx=\int_{0}^{3}(cx-3x^2)dx$

$W=[\frac{cx^2}{2}-x^3]^{3}_{0}$

$W=\frac{9c}{2}-27$

$\Delta K=11-20=-9 J$

$-9=\frac{9c}{2}-27$

$-9+27=\frac{9c}{2}$

$18=\frac{9c}{2}$

$c=\frac{2}{9}\times 18=4$

Explain how attaching the key to a piece of wood could prevent the key from sinking

Free_Kalibri [48]

It could prevent the key from sinking because the wood would float.

It floats because it weighs less than amount of water it would have to push out of the glass if it sank. Wood, cork, and ice are all less dense than water, and they float; rocks are more dense, so they sink. A key would also be more dense causing it to sink.

Hope this helps,

Davinia.
