What is the use of 'ground' in electric circuit?

1 answer:

5 0

In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth. Electrical circuits may be connected to ground (earth) for several reasons.

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a) 5200 N b) 8800 N

Explanation:

a) tension in the cable when it was being lowered to the sea floor = weight of the object which acts downward ( equals the tension in the cable when the craft was stationary in opposite direction) - the drag force which will act upward = 7000 - 1800 = 5200 N

b) tension in the cable when the craft was being raised since the tension will act upward and the drag force and the weight will act downward = 7000 + 1800 = 8800 N

three different-mass projectiles are launched at different angles of elevation from the top of a building. each particle has the

MrRa [10]

The correct option is b. The one with the lowest mass.

An object's kinetic energy is determined by

k=1/2mv^2

where

m is the object's mass.

v is the object's speed.

The three missiles in this puzzle have varying masses but the same beginning kinetic energy.

The three projectiles will all have the same kinetic energy when they hit the ground because mechanical energy is conserved, assuming there is no air resistance (because the potential energy that they have lost is the same, since they have been launched from the same height, and they reach the same final altitude, the ground).

hence,

K1=k2=k3

Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 25.0cm apart. Both rings are charged to +20.0nC. What is the electric field st

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Part A:

$E_{midpoint}=0$

Part B:

$E_{center}=2711.7558 N/C$

Explanation:

Part A:

Formula of Electric Field Strength:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon}\frac{xQ}{(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}$

Where:

x is the distance from the ring

R is the radius of the ring

$\epsilon$ is constant permittivity of free space=8.854*10^-12 farads/meter

Q is the charge

For right Ring E at the midpoint can be calculated as:

x for right plate=25/2=12.5 cm=0.125 m

Radius=R=10/2=5 cm=0.05 m

$E_{right}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.125)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.125)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{right}=9208.1758 N/C$

For Left Ring E at the midpoint can be calculated as:

Since charge on both plates is +ve and same in magnitude, the electric field will be same for both plates.

$E_{left}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.125)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.125)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{left}=9208.1758 N/C$

Electric Field at midpoint:

Both rings have same magnitude but the direction of fields will be opposite as they have same charge on them.

$E_{midpoint}=E_{left}-E_{right}\\E_{midpoint}=9208.1758-9208.1758\\E_{midpoint}=0$

Part B:

At center of left ring:

Due to left ring Electric field at center is zero because x=0.

$E_{left}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{left}=0 N/C$

Due to right ring Electric field at center of left ring:

Now: x=25 cm= o.25 m (To the center of left ring)

$E_{right}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.25)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.25)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{right}=2711.7558 N/C$

Electric Field Strength at center of left ring is same as that of right ring.

$E_{center}=2711.7558 N/C$

Must all species reproduce in order for the species to survive?

Airida [17]

ANSWER:

the correct answer is D.Yes; without reproduction, once the living organisms died, there would be no offspring to replace them.

TIP: bc if a species dies and it doesnt reproduce that species will go extinct, and remember every specie plays a role in life (but they are some animals that dont and are just a threat to the world). so reproducing is the only way to keep their generation going!

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Drawing the triangle:

H / x = tan 52.2 = 1.29

H / (4.6 - x) = tan 28.8 = .550

H = 1.29 x

H = .55 * 4.6 - .55 x

1.84 x = 2.53 combining equations

x = 1.38

4.6 - 1.38 = 3.22

Total base of triangle = 1.38 + 3.22 = 4.6

H / x = tan 52,2 = 1.29

H = 1.29 * 1.38 = 1.78 height of triangle

Check:

1.78 / 3.22 = tan 28.9

This agrees with the given value of 28.8
