Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach  243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}

Sum of infinite GP = \frac{a}{1-r}

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

The circuit you should use to find the open-circuit voltage is
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Incomplete questions check attachment for circuit diagram.

Explanation:

We are going to use superposition

So, we will first open circuit the current source and find the voltage Voc.

So, check attachment for open circuit diagram.

From the diagram

We notice that R3 is in series with R4, so its equivalent is given below

Req(3-4) = R3 + R4

R(34) = 20+40 = 60 kΩ

Notice that R2 is parallel to the equivalent of R3 and R4, then, the equivalent of all this three resistor is

Req(2-3-4) = R2•R(34)/(R2+R(34))

R(234) = (100×60)/(100+60)

R(234) = 37.5 kΩ

We notice that R1 and R(234) are in series, then, we can apply voltage divider rule to find voltage in R(234)

Therefore

V(234) = R(234) / [R1 + R(234)] × V

V(234) = 37.5/(25+37.5) × 100

V(234) = 37.5/62.5 × 100

V(234) = 60V.

Note, this is the voltage in resistor R2, R3 and R4.

Note that, R2 is parallel to R3 and R4. Parallel resistor have the same voltage, then voltage across R2 equals voltage across R34

V(34) = 60V.

Now, we also know that R3 and R4 are in series,

So we can know the voltage across R4 which is the Voc we are looking for.

Using voltage divider

V4 = Voc = R4/(R4 + R(34)) × V(34)

Voc = 40/(40+60) × 60

Voc = 24V

This is the open circuit Voltage

Now, finding the short circuit voltage when we short circuit the voltage source

Check attachment for circuit diagram.

From the circuit we notice that R1 and R2 are in parallel, so it's equivalent becomes

Req(1-2) = R1•R2/(R1+R2)

R(12) = 25×100/(25+100)

R(12) = 20 kΩ

We also notice that the equivalent of Resistor R1 and R2 is in series to R3. Then, the equivalent resistance of the three resistor is

Req(1-2-3) = R(12) + R(3)

R(123) = 20 + 20

R(123) = 40 kΩ

We notice that, the equivalent resistance of the resistor R1, R2, and R3 is in series to resistor R4.

So using current divider rule to find the current in resistor R4.

I(4) = R(123) / [R4+R(123)] × I

I(4) = 40/(40+40) × 8

I(4) = 4mA

Then, using ohms law, we can find the voltage across the resistor 4 and the voltage is the required Voc

V = IR

V4 = Voc = I4 × R4

Voc = 4×10^-3 × 40×10^3

Voc = 160V

Then, the sum of the short circuit voltage and the open circuit voltage will give the required Voc

Voc = Voc(open circuit) + Voc(short circuit)

Voc = 24 + 160

Voc = 184V.

How much heat is required to heat 2 kg of water from 25°C to 40°C?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

126000 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Amount of heat, c = specifc heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 2 kg, t₁ = 25°C, t₂ = 40°C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute these value into equation 1

Q = 2×4200(40-25)

Q = 2×4200×15

Q = 126000 J

Cool facts about satellites ???
svetoff [14.1K]
Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...

A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.

If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.
