Describe an application where a parallel circuit might work better than a series circuit

Physics
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
7 0
In rooms where there are multiple lights, a parallel circuit is better.

In a series circuit, if one light broke, all of the lights would turn off, as the circuit would be broken.

However, in parallel, if one bulb broke, the circuit could still be complete through the other bulbs, so they will stay on.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed v₁= 60 mph

Speed v₂ = 225 mph

Speed v₃ = 235 mph

(a). We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v^2+\rho gh

there, no vertical movement

So, on neglect of height term

P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2

Where, P= atmospheric pressure

\rho = air density

v = speed

Put the value in the equation

P_{1}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(60\times1.4667)^2)

P_{1}=2126.0\ lb/ft^2

P_{1}=\dfrac{2126.0}{144}

P_{1}= 14.76\ psi

(b). Speed v₂ = 225 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

P_{2}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2

Put the value in the equation

P_{2}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(225\times1.4667)^2)

P_{2}=2246.17\ lb/ft^2

P_{2}=\dfrac{2246.17}{144}

P_{2}= 15.59\ psi

(c).  Speed v₃ = 235 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

P_{3}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2

Put the value in the equation

P_{3}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(235\times1.4667)^2)

P_{3}=2257.93\ lb/ft^2

P_{3}=\dfrac{2257.93}{144}

P_{3}= 15.68\ psi

According to bernoulli's equation,

If the car increases the velocity the the pressure on the surface of the driver's hand increases.

The pressure from P₁ to P₃ are all near the value of one atmosphere.

So, the pressure difference of one atmosphere is not enough to break the driver's hand.

Hence, (a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

Andrea's near point is 20.0 cm and her far point is 2.0 m. Her contact lenses are designed so that she can see objects that are
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

the closest distance that she can see an object clearly when she wears her contacts is 22.2 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

near point = 20 cm

far point = 2 m = 200 cm

Now, for an object that is infinitely far away, the image is at is its far point.

so using the following expression, we can determine the focal length

1/f = 1/i + 1/o

where f is the focal length, i is the image distance and o is the object distance.

here, far point i = 2 m = 200 cm  and v is ∞

so we substitute

1/f = 1/(-200 cm)  +  1/∞

f = -200 cm

Also, for object at its closest point, the image appear at near point,

so

1/f = 1/i + 1/o

we make o the subject of formula

o = ( i × f ) / ( i - f )

given that near point i = 20 cm

we substitute

o = ( -20 × -200 ) / ( -20 - (-200) )

o = 4000 / 180

o = 22.2 cm

Therefore, the closest distance that she can see an object clearly when she wears her contacts is 22.2 cm

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.
