Use the circuit diagram to decide if the lightbulb will light. Justify your answer.
podryga [215]

Answer:

The lightbulb will NOT light.

Explanation:

You put me in a difficult position.  I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly.  There's no other choice but to copy it.

This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.

<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit.  Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The frictional torque is \tau  = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass attached to one end the string is m_1 =  0.341 \ kg

   The mass attached to the other end of the string is  m_2 =  0.625 \ kg

    The radius of the disk is  r = 9.00 \ cm  = 0.09 \ m

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

      T_1 =  m_1 *  g

substituting values

      T_1 =  0.341 * 9.8

      T_1 =  3.342 \ N

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the  mass is mathematically represented as

      T_2 =  m_2 *  g

     T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8

      T_2 = 6.125 \ N

The  frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

      \tau  =  (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )

substituting values  

     \tau  =  ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342  * 0.09 )

     \tau  = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m

The amount of diffraction that a sound wave undergoes depends on
BigorU [14]
The amount of diffraction of sound waves depends on the medium the sound wave travels to and the frequency. Diffraction happens as soon as it has been out of the source.
