Janelle wants to buy some strings of decorative lights for her home. She is trying to decide between two strings of lights that

are wired differently.
How should Janelle’s lights be wired, and why?

If she has a choice and the wiring details are stated on the packaging,
then Janelle should look for lights that are wired in parallel within the
string, and she should avoid lights that are wired in series within the string. 

If a single light in a parallel string fails, then only that one goes out. 
The rest of the lights in the string continue to shimmer and glimmer.

If a single light in a series string fails, then ALL of the lights in that string
go out, and it's a substantial engineering challenge to determine which light
actually failed.

Sample Response: Janelle should buy lights that are wired in parallel. The main advantage of lights wired in parallel is that if one bulb goes out, the rest of the bulbs will remain lit.

A block is on a frictionless table, on earth. The block accelerates at 7.5 m/s when a 70 N horizontal force is applied to it. Th
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The weight of the block on the moon is 15 kg.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the block, a = 7.5 m/s²

Force applied to the box, F = 70 N

The mass of the block will be, m=\dfrac{F}{a}

m=\dfrac{70\ N}{7.5\ m/s^2}

m = 9.34 kg

The block and table are set up on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s². The mass of the object remains the same. It weight W is given by :

W=m\times g

W=9.34\ kg\times 1.62\ m/s^2

W = 15.13 N

or

W = 15 N

So, the weight of the block on the moon is 15 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A man supports himself and the uniform horizontal beam pulling the rope with a force T.The weights of men and the beam are 883 N
artcher [175]

Answer:

T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension T in the rope and the forces exerted by the pin at A is shown below:

vertical forces sum = Ay + Tsin20 + T - 245 - 883 = 0

Now  

horizontal forces sum = Ax - Tcos70

Now Moment about B

-Ay × 4.8 + 245 × 2.4 + 883 × 1.8=0

Ay=453.6N

Now substitute in sum of vertical forces T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

What amount of energy is needed for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J

Explanation:

We need to find the energy for an electron to jump from n = 1 to n = 4.

The energy in transition from 1 state to another is given by :

E=\dfrac{-2.18\times 10^{-18}}{n^2}\ J

The difference in energy for n = 1 to n = 4 is:

E=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times (\dfrac{1}{4^2}-1)\\\\E=2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J

So, the required energy is equal to 2.04\times 10^{-18}\ J.

A certain runner averages 4.1 m/s over a 10
Ghella [55]

Answer: 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

Explanation:

1 k = 1000m

race = 10000m

runner time = 10000 / 4.1

runner time = 2439.0243902439024 seconds

runner time = 2439.0243902439024/60 = 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.
