A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 1.9 A. The current is reduced to 1.5 A when an additional 3.1 Ω resistor

is added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? Answer in units of Ω.

Answer:

11.625 Ohm

Explanation:

Let V be the Voltage charge of the loop, as this is constant we know that before the resistor addition the current I is:

V/R1 = 1.9 or V = 1.9R1

After the resistor addition to series R = R1 + 3.1

I = V/R = V/(R1 + 3.1) = 1.5

We can substitute V = 1.9R1

1.9R1 = 1.5R1 + 1.5*3.1

0.4R1 = 4.65

R1 = 4.65/0.4 = 11.625 Ohm

A 0.495 kg bird pushes itself upward with a 7.28 N force. Including its weight, what is the total force acting on the bird? (Uni

Effectus [21]

Answer:

8 Newton

Explanation:

Weight = force

then, given,

weight= 0.495 kg

force= 7.28 N

Now,

the total force acting on the bird = (Weight + force)N

=(0.495 + 7.28)N

=8N

hence, the total force acting on the bird is 8 N.

An ice cube of mass 50.0 gg can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degreedegree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a

kompoz [17]

<em>We have assumed the distance to be 0.1 meters (not millimeters) since the question has issues when expressing the units</em>

Answer:

$d=0.60\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Energy Conversion</u>

We need to understand and apply the concepts of energy conversion to solve this problem. Three types of energy are manifested in the motion of the ice cube of mass m.

When it's above the ground level at a height h, it has potential gravitational energy, given by

$U=mgh$

If the cube is moving at speed v, it has kinetic energy, given by

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Finally, when it compresses the spring, it has elastic energy:

$\displaystyle E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Where x is the distance of compression and k is the spring constant

When the ice cube is released, it has potential gravitational energy which magnitude we cannot calculate since we don't have the height. Then it goes down the slope and acquires speed and kinetic energy until it stops when compressing the spring a distance x. In that very moment, the total energy is stored in its elastic form:

$\displaystyle E=\frac{1}{2}25\cdot 0.1^2=0.125\ J$

When the ice cube travels up powered by that energy, it has both kinetic and potential energies, and it stops up in the ramp and starts reversing direction when it runs out of speed, thus the total potential energy is

$mgh=0.125\ J$

Solving for h, knowing m=50 g=0.05 Kg

$\displaystyle h=\frac{0.125}{mg}=\frac{0.125}{0.05\cdot 9.8}=0.26\ m$

The height and the distance traveled in the slope d are related by

$h=d.sin25^o$

Thus

$\displaystyle d=\frac{h}{sin25^o}=\frac{0.26}{sin25^o}=0.60\ m$

$\boxed {d=0.60\ m}$

An electron collides elastically with a stationary hydrogen atom. The mass of the hydrogen atom is 1837 times that of the electr

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

$\frac{K_{h}}{K_{i}} = = 2.17 \times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of hydrogen atom and electron so we will say momentum is conserved

so we will have

$m_1 v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

here we know that

$m_1 = m$

$m_2 = 1837m$

now we have

$m v = mv_{1f} + 1837v_{2f}$

$v_{1f} + 1837v_{2f} = v$

also we know that

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v$

now we will have

$1838v_{2f} = 2v$

$v_{2f} = \frac{v}{919}$

now we need to find the ratio of kinetic energy of hydrogen atom with initial kinetic energy

so it is given as

$\frac{K_{h}}{K_{i}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}(1837m)(\frac{v}{919})^2}{\frac{1}{2}mv^2}$

$\frac{K_{h}}{K_{i}} =\frac{1837}{919^2}$

$\frac{K_{h}}{K_{i}} = = 2.17 \times 10^{-3}$

What is the explanation for this

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Opposite to the net force

Explanation:

The frictional force is a constant force that resists the motion of a body.

There are two classifications of frictional force

1) Static friction

2) Kinetic friction

When a force acts on two surfaces that prevent the sliding between them is the static frictional force.

When a force acts on a moving surface that opposes the motion of the surface is called the kinetic friction.

<em>The kinetic frictional force acts in the direction opposite to the motion and the net force. </em>

The static and kinetic frictions are dimensionally the same quantity only the coefficient of the friction is higher for static friction.
