If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.

1 answer:

7 0

V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.

stepladder [879]

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Unbalanced forces change the motion of an object. If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object, it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.

The origin of an x axis is placed at the center of a nonconducting solid sphere of radius R that carries a charge +qsphere distr

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$q=49Q/64$

and

$x =16R/15$

Explanation:

See attached figure.

$E_{Q}=$ E due to sphere

$E_{q}=$ E due to particule

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$ (1)

according to the law of gauss and superposition Law:

$E_{Q}=E_{1}+E_{2}=E_{2}$ ; electric field due to the small sphere with r1=R/4

$E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=$

$q_{2}=density*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q/(4/3*pi*R^{3})*4/3*pi*r_{1}^{3}=Q*r_{1}^{3}/R^{3}$

then: $E_{Q}=kq_{2}/(r_{1}^{2})=k*Q*r_{1}^{3}/(R^{3}*r_{1}^{2}) = kQ/(4*R^{2})$ (2)

on the other hand, for the particule:

$E_{q}=kq/(r_{p}^{2})$

$r_{p}=2R-R/4=7R/4$ ⇒ $E_{q}=16kq/(49R^{2})$ (3)

We replace (2) y (3) in (1):

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(4*R^{2}) - 49kq/(16R^{2})$

$q=49Q/64$

--------------------

if R<x<2R AND $E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0$

$E_{total}=E_{Q}-E_{q}=0=kQ/(x^{2}) - kq/(2R-x^{2})$

remember that $q=49Q/64$

then:

$Q(2R-x^{2})=49/64*x^{2}$

solving:

$x_{1} =16R/15$

$x_{2} =16R$

but: R<x<2R

so : $x =16R/15$

"There are two types of error that can occur when making measurements: systematic and random error. How you correct the error de

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Systematic error can be corrected using calibration of the measurement instrument, while random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements.

Explanation:

Random errors lead to fluctuations around the true value as a result of difficulty taking measurements, whereas systematic errors lead to predictable and consistent departures from the true value due to problems with the calibration of your equipment.

Systematic error can be corrected, by calibration of the measurement instrument. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard value.

Random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements or by Increasing sample size.
