Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?

Physics

andrezito [222]3 years ago
3 0

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.  

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.  

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Using the equation for the period of a physical pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of leg about perpendicular axis at one point =  mL²/3 where m = mass of man = 67 kg and L = height of man = 1.83 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of leg from center of gravity of man = L/2 (center of gravity of a cylinder)

So, T = 2π√(I/mgh)

T = 2π√(mL²/3 /mgL/2)

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

T = 2π√(2 × 1.83 m/(3 × 9.8 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(3.66 m/(29.4 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(0.1245 s² ))

T = 2π(0.353 s)

T = 2.22 s

T ≅ 2.2 s

So, the period of the man's leg is 2.2 s

The total resistance of a 15-ohm, an 65-ohm and a 35-ohm resistor connected in parallel ​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

I think its 9.0397 Ohms

Explanation:

take the reciprocal of all the resistances: 1/15, 1/65, 1/35

then add them: = 151/1365

then reciprocal the answer: =1365/151

And chuck it on a calculator: =9.04 Ohms

I think this is right but I'm not entirely sure. Tell me if I'm right by the way!

A speedboat moving at 28 m/s approaches a no-wake buoy marker 91 m ahead. The pilot slows the boat with a constant acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

7.5 m/s

Explanation:

We can find its velocity when it reaches the buoy by applying one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled

From the question:

u = 28 m/s

a = -4 m/s^2

s = 91 m

Therefore:

v^2 = 28^2 + 2 * (-4) * 91\\\\v^2 = 784 + -728 = 56\\\\v = \sqrt{56}\\ \\v = 7.5 m/s

The velocity of the boat when it reaches the buoy is 7.5 m/s.
