What does a resistor do in a circuit?

lowers the amount of voltage going through a circuit

marin [14]3 years ago

If there is but one resistor in the circuit, it will limit the current flow according to E = I*R

If there are two resistors in series in the circuit, they will affect a voltage divider.

Though you haven't asked for it, the voltage drop across the 3 ohm resistor is E = I*R

I = 5 amps

R = 3 ohms

E = 5 * 3 = 15 Volts

And through the 2 ohm resistor, you get

I = 5 amps

R = 2 ohms

E = 2*5

E = 10 volts.

So the total is 10 v + 15 v = 25 volts

Each resistor then has a reading in voltage across it. That is called a voltage divider.

One "resistor" like a light bulb is made to give light and also to limit the current.

A car is traveling due north at 23.6 m>s.
alexira [117]

A car is traveling due north at 23.6 m>s.

Find the velocity of the car after 7.10 s if its

acceleration is

The acceleration is known to be: a(t) = 1.7 m/s2.

We must integrate over time to obtain the velocity function, and the results are:

v(t) = (1.7m/s^2)

*t + v0

If we suppose that we begin at 23.6 m/s, then the initial velocity is: v0 = 23.6 m/s, where v0 is the beginning velocity.

The velocity formula is then: v(t) = (1.7m/s2).

*t + 23.6 m/s

We now seek to determine the value of t such that v(t) = 27.8 m/s.

Consequently, v(t) = 27.8 m/s = (1.7 m/s2)

*t + 23.6 m/s = (1.7 m/s2) 27.8 m/s - 23.6 m/s

t = 2.5 seconds when *t 4.2 m/s = (1.7 m/s/2)

At such acceleration, 2.5 seconds are required.

15 points! An atomic nucleus initially moving at 420 m/s emits an alpha particle in the direction of its velocity, and the remai
alexandr1967 [171]

The alpha particle is emitted at 4235 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem: the total momentum of the original nucleus must be equal to the total momentum after the alpha particle has been emitted. Therefore:

p_i = p_f\\ Mu=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 =  

where:  

M =222u is the mass of the original nucleus

v=420 m/s is the initial velocity of the nucleus

m_1 = 4 u is the mass of the alpha particle

v_1 is the final velocity of the alpha particle

m_2 = 222u-4u = 218 u is the mass of the daughter nucleus

v_2 = 350 m/s is the final velocity of the nucleus

Solving for v_1, we  find the final velocity of the alpha particle:

v_1 = \frac{Mu-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(222)(420)-(218)(350)}{4}=4235 m/s

A person runs up several flights of stairs and is exhausted at the top. Later the same person walks up the same stairs and does
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the person depends on its mass and the height raised. It also depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

As the height raised and the mass of person is same. The value of acceleration due to gravity is also constant So, the work done is also same in both the cases.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s
