-- The net effective resistance of three 1200-ohm resistors in
parallel is (1200/3) = 400 ohms. That's what the battery sees.

-- Power = (voltage)² / (resistance)

   = (12²) / (400)

   = 144 / 400

   = 0.36 watt .

There's no such thing as "power in the circuit".

0.36 watt is the power dissipated by the resistors.
It's the rate at which the battery must supply energy,
and the rate at which the resistors blow it off in the form
of heat, for as long as the battery lasts.

What is the magnitude of the velocity of a 25 kg mass that is moving with a momentum of 100 kg*m/s?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

v= 4 m/s

Explanation:

Momenutm is, by definition, the product of mass and velocity.

$p = mv$

Let's replace what we know and solve for whatever's left

$100 kg\cdot m/s = 25kg \cdot v \rightarrow v= 4 m/s$

Three equal charge 1.8*10^-8 each are located at the corner of an equilateral triangle ABC side 10cm.calculate the electric pote

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of $1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C$ each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment $\rm AB$ would be approximately $8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V$ .

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: $10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m$ .

Distance between the midpoint of $\rm AB$ and each of the three charges:

$d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)$ .

Let $k$ denote Coulomb's constant ( $k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}$ .)

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm B$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}$ .

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of $\rm AB$ due to all these three charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma

ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.V$

Where:

$m=45 kg$ is the mass of the skater

$V$ is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: $p_{1}=m.V_{1}$

Final momentum: $p_{2}=m.V_{2}$

Where:

$V_{1}=3 m/s$

$V_{1}=5 m/s$

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

$p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}$

$p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})$

$p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)$

Finally:

$p=90 kgm/s$
