Answer:

YES

Explanation:

If we connect batteries in series then the output voltage is the sum of the individual voltage of each battery i.e if you connect three 12 volts batteries in series then their output voltage will be 12+12+12=36 volts, but the current rating of the batteries in series will be same of the individual battery rating in 'mah'.

But when we connect the batteries in parallel their voltage is not added but their current rating in mah is addition of their individual rating.

So, If you want 24 volts from three 12 volts battery then you can connect two of them in series and the other one in parallel with them this will give 24 volts and the current will be addition of the two series batteries and the third which is in parallel with them. You can use this configuration if current value is not a big factor.

A thick steel slab ( 7800 kg/m3 , c 480 J/kg K, k 50 W/m K) is initially at 300 C and is cooled by water jets impinging on one o

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

1791 secs ≈ 29.85 minutes

Explanation:

( Initial temperature of slab ) T1 = 300° C

temperature of water ( Ts ) = 25°C

T2 ( final temp of slab ) = 50°C

distance between slab and water jet = 25 mm

Determine how long it will take to reach T2

First calculate the thermal diffusivity

∝ = 50 / ( 7800 * 480 ) = 1.34 * 10^-5 m^2/s

next express Temp as a function of time

T( 25 mm , t ) = 50°C

next calculate the time required for the slab to reach 50°C at a distance of 25mm

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

FOR SUBSTANCE A:

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

FOR SUBSTANCE B:

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

C = 1.16 J/g

A person is planning a bungee jump from a 40 meter high bridge. Under the bridge is a river with crocodiles, so the person does

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

a. l = 19.7m, b. 18.55m, c. Impact Force = 3889.84 N

Explanation:

The total energy of the system when the person is at top of the bridge is

Potential energy = mgh, Kinetic energy = 0

The total energy of the system when the person reaches just above the surface

Potential energy = 0, Kinetic energy = 0, Spring energy = ½ K X2, where k is the spring constant and X is the deflection

Applying conservation of energy

mgh = 0 + 0 + ½ K X²

80 x 9.81 x 40 = ½ (3600/l) X²

31392 = ½ (3600/l) X²

We can also conclude that

l+ X + 1.75 = 40

l + X = 38.25

a. Substitute the value of x from above into the energy conversion expression

31392 = ½ (3600/l)(38.25 - l)²

31392 x 2/3600 = (38.25 + l² – 2l(38.25))/l

17.44l = l2 – 76.5l + 38.25²

l² – 76.5l – 17.44l +1463.0625 = 0

Solving for l we get

L = 19.7

Hence, length of the rope is 19.7m

b. The deflection is calculated by using the relation between l and X

L + X = 38.25

X = 38.25 – 19.7 = 18.55m

c. The impact force is calculated using the impact force formula which relates the impact force with the deflection

F = KX

F = (3600/l) . X

F = (3600/19.7) . (18.55) = 3889.84 N

Thus, the impact force is 3889.84 N
