An airplane flies 1760 km in 2 hours 45 minutes. What is its average speed in kilometers per hour?

Extend your thinking: household appliances are usually connected in a parallel circuit. why do you think it might be a problem i

alexandr1967 [171]

The equivalent resistance of several devices connected in parallel is given by
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+...+ \frac{1}{R_n}$
where $R_i$ are the resistances of the various devices. We can see that every time we add a new device in parallel, the term $\frac{1}{R_{eq}}$ increases, therefore the equivalent resistance of the circuit $R_{eq}$ decreases.

But Ohm's law:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}$
tells us that if the equivalent resistance decreases, the total current in the circuit increases. The power dissipated through the circuit (and so, the heat produced) depends on the square of the current:
$P=I^2 R$
therefore if there are too many devices connected in parallel, this can be a problem because there could be too much power dissipated (and too much heat) through the circuit.

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m$

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m$

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the scientific revolution??

Basile [38]

The scientific revolution is a concept which explains how the developments of science (biology, chemistry, physics and etc.) changed the way we (society) think about nature. I hope this helps! :)

In which wavelength region(s) would we need to carry out observations in order to study the accretion disk around a white dwarf

Inga [223]

In “Ultraviolet light” and “X-ray” light wavelength regions are needed to carry out observations to study the “accretion disk” around “a white dwarf” in a “binary system”.

Explanation:

Occurrence of an accretion disk is due to presence of diffuse material around a white dwarf in orbital motion. White dwarf is constituted from electron-degenerate matter therefore also called as degenerate dwarf in binary system. Frictional forces and gravitational forces are responsible to compress and high “temperature” of the material, results with emission of “electromagnetic radiation”. “Accretion disks” of white dwarf radiate in the UV-rays and X-rays wavelength region of spectrum.
