Total resistance=R1+ R2= 6Ω
Voltage=12v
Current =\frac{voltage}{resistance}
Current= 2A
In a series circuit, equal current passes through every resistance.

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a
mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U=Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

W=-150 kJ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

\Delta U=+60 kJ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

An atom gains an additional electron. What is the overall charge of the ion that is formed?
jeka57 [31]

<em>An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge. Consider how a positive ion can form from an atom. The left side of the illustration below represents a sodium (Na) atom</em>

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has
charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum

Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency
Harman [31]

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.

What is the passenger's apparent weight at t=1.0s?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

For the complete question provided in explanation, if the elevator moves upward, then the apparent weight will be 1035 N. While for downward motion the apparent weight will be 435 N.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question contains a velocity graph provided in the attachment. This is the velocity graph for an elevator having a passenger of 75 kg.

From the slope of graph it is clear that acceleration at t = 1 sec is given as:

Acceleration = a = (4-0)m/s / (1-0)s = 4 m/s^2

Now, there are two cases:

1- Elevator moving up

2- Elevator moving down

For upward motion:

Apparent Weight =  m(g + a)

Apparent Weight = (75 kg)(9.8 + 4)m/s^2

<u>Apparent Weight = 1035 N</u>

For downward motion:

Apparent Weight =  m(g - a)

Apparent Weight = (75 kg)(9.8 - 4)m/s^2

<u>Apparent Weight = 435 N</u>
