Concept: According to Ohm's Law, the flow of electric current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it, provided physical conditions (like temperature, pressure, volume etc.) remains same.

v = ir

or, r = v / i

Here, current (i) is measured by Ammeter which should be connected in series of any electrical circuit.

voltage (v) is measured by Voltmeter which should be connected parallel to the external resistance (r).

In the given experiment, the first arrangement of the circuit will show the smallest error because the voltmeter is connected exactly parallel to the external resistance.

In the second arrangement, the voltmeter is connected across external resistance (r) and Ammeter (A) and in this case, the voltmeter will not measure the exact potential drop across the external resistance (r). So, there would be more error.

A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,
Paraphin [41]

Answer: 42.49 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:

While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.

Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 m/s^{2}

The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.

Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side

By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.

(1)  Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)        

Searching for the Va in (1)

Va = G/Tan(∅)

Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°

Va = 9.81m/s^{2}  / Tan(13.0°)

Va = 42.49 m/s^{2}

The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 m/s^{2}  to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec            

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car a_1=5.9m/sec^2

Acceleration of the stock car a_2=3.6m/sec^2

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So s_1=s_2

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So \frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec

The brachialis attaches to the forearm .035 m from the elbow at an angle of 32 deg. If the brachialis produces 750 N of force, w
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

XY=636N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance d=0.35m

Angle \theta=32\textdegree

Force F=750N

Generally the equation for magnitude of the stabilizing component of the brachialis force is mathematically given by

 XY=Fcos\theta

 XY=750cos 32\textdegree

 XY=636N

If an astronaut throws an object in space, the object’s speed will _____
BigorU [14]
The object's speed will not change.

In fact, after the astronaut throws the object, no additional forces will act on it (since the object is in free space). According to Newton's second law:
\sum F=ma
where the first term is the resultant of the forces acting on the body, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration, we see that if no forces act on the object, then the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the acceleration of the object is zero, and its velocity remains constant.

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.
