Answer:

<em>The power delivered by the battery is 17.04 W</em>

Explanation:

Power through a circuit is given as

P = IV    ....1

where P is the power

I is the current through the circuit

V is the voltage through the circuit

The voltage in a circuit is given as

V = IR    ....2

Let us take the value of each resistor as equal to R

when connected in series, the total resistance will be

R_{t} = R + R = 2R

If we assume constant voltage through the circuit, then from equation 2, the current in this case is

I = V/2R

If the resistors are connected in parallel, then the total resistance will be

\frac{1}{R_{t} } = \frac{1}{R} +

R_{t} = R/2

The current in this case will be increased since the resistance is reduced

I = 2V/R

comparing the two situations, we can see that the current increased when connected in parallel to a ratio of

\frac{2V}{R} ÷  \frac{V}{2R} =  

This means that the current increased 4 times

From equation 1, we can see that electrical power is proportional to the current at a constant voltage, therefore, the power will also increase by four times to

P = 4 x 4.26 = <em>17.04 W</em>

A. In your own words, define what a transverse wave is.
olasank [31]

Answer:

a) From definition a transverse wave is which one where the elements moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. For example is a wave is moving from the left to the right the elements would be wibrating or moving upward or downward.

We have a lot examples for a transverse wave. For example water waves, strings on the musical instruments , light and radio waves.

b) We can identify a transverse wave if the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Usually these types of wave occur in elastic solids. And we can identify it when we see a pattern perpendicular between the wave direction and the particles motion. In simple words we need to see that the wave is moving down and up.

Fitness results come from hard work, not an instant fix<br> Question 1 options:<br> True<br> False
zhannawk [14.2K]
<span>This is a true statement. Fitness is typically a long-term solution, not a short-term repair. When looking for fitness results, it will usually take weeks to months to see any tangible results, even though there could be some short-term benefits such as increased energy. This is why fitness is sometimes seen as a lifetime endeavor and not one that occurs overnight.</span>

A projectile is thrown with velocity v at an angle θ with horizontal. When the projectile is at a height equal to half of the ma
raketka [301]

  • Let, the maximum height covered by projectile be \sf{H_m}

\purple{ \longrightarrow  \bf{h_m =  \dfrac{ {v}^{2} \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{2g} }}

  • Projectile is thrown with a velocity = v
  • Angle of projection = θ

  • Velocity of projectile at a height half of the maximum height covered be \sf{v_0}

\qquad______________________________

Then –

\qquad \pink{  \longrightarrow \bf{ \dfrac{h_m}{2}  = \dfrac{ {v_0}^{2} \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{2g} }}

\qquad \longrightarrow \sf{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2}  \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{2g} \times  \dfrac{1}{2}  =  \dfrac{ {v_0}^{2} \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{2g} }

\qquad\longrightarrow  \sf{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2}  \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{4g}  =  \dfrac{ {v_0}^{2} \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{2g} }

\qquad\longrightarrow  \sf{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2}  \: {sin}^{2} \theta  }{2}  =   {v_0}^{2} \: {sin}^{2} \theta }

\qquad\longrightarrow  \sf{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2} }{2}  =   {v_0}^{2} }

\qquad\longrightarrow \bf{v_0 =   \sqrt{ \dfrac{ {v}^{2} }{2} } =  \dfrac{v}{ \sqrt{2} }  }

  • Now, the vertical component of velocity of projectile at the height half of \sf{h_m} will be –

\qquad \longrightarrow   \bf{v_{(y)}=v_0 \: sin \theta }

\qquad \longrightarrow \bf{v_{(y)} = \dfrac{v}{ \sqrt{2} }  \: sin \theta =  \dfrac{v \: sin \: \theta}{ \sqrt{2} }  }

Therefore, the vertical component of velocity of projectile at this height will be–

☀️\qquad\pink {\bf{ \dfrac{v \: sin \:  \theta}{ \sqrt{2} }} }
