4) You have a 10 ohm resistor connected in series with an ammeter. The voltage applied to the whole circuit is 1.2 volts. At the
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.6 Ω

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram below,

Since the resistance and the ammeter are connected in series,

(i) The same amount of current flows through them.

(ii) The sum of their individual individual voltage is equal to the total voltage of the circuit.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR................ Equation 1

Where V = Voltage across the ammeter, I = current flowing through the ammeter, R = resistance of the ammeter.

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I............... Equation 2

Given: V = 1.2-0.9 = 0.3 V, I = 0.5 A.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 0.3/0.5

R = 0.6 Ω

Find the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 in the figure. Let q= +2.4 μC and d= 33cm.
kobusy [5.1K]

With the use of electric force formula, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x 10^{11} N and 66 degrees

ELECTRIC FORCE (F)

F = \frac{KQq}{d^{2} }

Where K = 9 x 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}

The distance between q_{1} and q_{3} can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem.

d = \sqrt{33^{2} + 33^{2}  }

d = 46.7 cm = 0.467 m

For force F_{1}, substitute all the parameters into the formula above

F_{1} = (9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 1)/0.467^{2}

F_{1} = 2.7 x 10^{10}/0.218

F_{1} = 1.24 x 10^{11} N

For force F_{4}, substitute all the parameters into the formula above

F_{4} = (9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 4)/0.33^{2}

F_{4} = 1.08 x 10^{11}/0.1089

F_{4} = 9.92 x 10^{11} N

For force F_{2}, substitute all the parameters into the formula above

F_{2} = (9 x 10^{9} x 3 x 2)/0.33^{2}

F_{2} = 5.4 x 10^{10}/0.1089

F_{2} = 4.96 x 10^{11} N

Summation of forces on Y component will be

F_{y} = F_{4} - F_{1} Sin 45

F_{y} = 9.92 x 10^{11} - 1.24 x 10^{11} Sin 45

F_{y} = 9.04 x 10^{11} N

Summation of forces on X component will be

F_{x} = F_{2} - F_{1} Cos 45

F_{x} = 4.96 x 10^{11} - 1.24 x 10^{11} Sin 45

F_{x} = 4.08 x 10^{11} N

Net Force = \sqrt{F_{x} ^{2} + F_{y} ^{2}  } }

Net force = \sqrt{(4.08*10^{11}) ^{2} + (9.04*10^{11}) ^{2}  }

Net force = 9.9 x 10^{11} N

The direction will be

Tan ∅ = F_{y}/F_{x}

Tan ∅ = 9.04 x 10^{11} / 4.08 x 10^{11}

Tan ∅ = 2.216

∅ = Tan^{-1}(2.216)

∅ = 65.7 degrees

Therefore, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x 10^{11} N and 66 degrees approximately.

A car rounds a flat curve and experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the curve and perpendicular to the d
Usimov [2.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a car is rounding a flat curve, it experiences a centripetal force that pulls it towards the center of the circle it is rotating in.

Now,

The centripetal force can be balanced by the centrifugal force caused due to the acceleration of the body at the high speed which counters the centripetal force and in turn <u>prevents the car from slipping down the curve.</u>

So,

If the car doesn't hit the gas then the <em><u>car will fall down from the curve</u></em> as the Centripetal force will exceed the Centrifugal force of the car.

However, if the car doesn't hit the brake then the <em><u>car will maintain it's position on the flat curve</u></em> track as the centrifugal force will counter the effect of centripetal force directed towards the center.
