The main activity that is involved in studying of physics is the study of natural laws. The study of physics has to do with many aspects of the universe. Physics majorly looks into the natural laws that operate in the universe and describe how they affect matter in relation to time.

Find the equivalent resistance, current, and voltage across each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across a 20

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and the current through each resistor when the specified resistors are connected across a 20-V battery. Part (a) uses two resistors with resistance values that can be set with the animation sliders, and you can use the animation to verify your calculation. In part (b), three resistors are specified. (a) Two resistors are connected in series across a 20-V battery. Let R1 = 1 Ω and R2 = 2 Ω. Rea = (b) Add a third resistor to the circuit in series. Let R1 = 1 Ω, R2 = 2 Ω, and R3 = 3 Ω"

Using ohms law formula to solve the problem

E = IRt

E is the supply voltage

I is the total current

Rt is the total equivalent resistant.

a) Given two resistances

R1 = 1ohms and R2 = 2ohms

If the resistors are Connected in series across a 20V supply voltage,

-Equivalent resistance = R1+R2

= 1ohms + 2ohms

= 3ohms

- In a series connected circuit, same current flows through the resistors.

Using the formula E = IRt

I = E/Rt

I = 20/3

I = 6.67A

The current in both resistors is 6.67A

- Different voltage flows across a series connected circuit.

Using the formula V = IR

V is the voltage across each resistor

I is the current in each resistor

For 1ohms resistor,

V = 6.67×1

V = 6.67Volts

For 2ohms resistor

V = 6.67×2

V = 13.34Volts

b) If the resistors are three

R1 = 1ohms, R2 = 2ohms R3 = 3ohms

- Total equivalent resistance = 1+2+3

= 6ohms

- Current in each resistor I = E/Rt

I = 20/6

I = 3.33A

Since the same current flows through the resistors, the current across each of them is 3.33A

- Voltage across them is calculated as shown:

V = IR

For 1ohm resistor

V = 3.33×1

V = 3.33volts

For 2ohms resistor

V = 3.33×2

V = 6.66volts

For 3ohms resistor

V = 3.33×3

V = 9.99volts

An object 5.Ocm in the length is placed at a distance of 20cm in front of convex mirror

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Position = $\frac{60}{7}\ cm$ behind the mirror

Nature = Virtual and Erect

Size = $\frac{15}{7}\ cm$ : Diminished

Explanation:

Sign convention-Distance measured to the left of pole is negative and to the right of pole is positive.

Object distance = u = -20 cm

Focal length = f = Radius of curvature/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm

We have to use mirror formula to find image distance.

$\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}\\ \frac{1}{-20}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{7}{60}\\v=\frac{60}{7}\ cm$

Since the image distance is positive, it is formed behind the mirror or a virtual image is formed.

Magnification = $=\frac{h_{image}}{h_{object}}=$ $-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{60}{7\times20}=\frac{3}{7}$

Height of the object = 5 cm

Height of the image = $5\times\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{7}\ cm$

Since the height of the image is positive and less than the size of object,it is erect and diminished.

A rope of length L has circular cross-sectional area A and density rho = m/V , where m is the mass of the rope and V = A · L is

hram777 [196]

Answer: µ = ρ¹ * A¹

Where x=1 and y=1

Explanation: According to the question, the mass per unit length (µ) is related to the density (ρ) and area A are related by the formulae below

µ = ρ * A

The dimension for each of these quantities is given below

Since µ is mass per unit length, unit is Kg/m and the dimension is ML^-1

ρ is density with unit kg/m³ and the dimension is ML^3

A is area with unit m², thus the dimension is M^2

Note that using dimensional analysis means we will be using the 3 fundamental quantities (mass, length and time) in our analysis.

Their dimensions below

Mass = M

Length = L

Time = T

Since the mass per unit length is related to density and area, we have a mathematical equation to provide a solution as shown below

µ = ρ^x * A^y.

By getting the power of x and y we will be able to get the formula that relates the quantities.

This is done by slotting in the dimensions of the respective quantities.

ML^-1 = (ML^-3)^x * (L²) ^y

By using law of indices on the right hand side of the equation, we have that

ML^-1 = (M^x * L^-3x) * (L^2y)

Also applying law of indices on the right hand side, we have that

ML^-1 = (M^x) * (L^-3x +2y)

The next step is to relate equal variables on both sides

For the M variable

M¹ = M^x which results to

x = 1

For the L variable

L^-1 = L^-3x+2y which results to

-1 = - 3x +2y

But x = 1

We have that

-1 = - 3(1) +2y

-1 = - 3 + 2y

-1 +3= 2y

2 = 2y

y = 1

Thus x=1 and y=1 and the formulae that relates the quantities is

µ = ρ¹ * A¹
