Advantage of series circuit :

1. allows all the components in the circuit to have same current flowing through them.

2. one switch is enough to turn off all the components in the circuit in series.

3. make the circuit small by using smaller length of wire.

Disadvantages of series circuit :

1. If one component becomes defective , it does not allow other components to operate, since they share same current.

2. all components can not have same voltage across them.

A boy im50kg at rest on a skateboard is pushed by another boy who exerts a force of 200 N on him. If the first boy's

sergey [27]

Answer:

Time, t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 50 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).

Final velocity, v = 8 m/s

Force, F = 200 N

To find the time, we would use the following formula;

$F = \frac {m(v - u)}{t}$

Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;

$t = \frac {m(v - u)}{F}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$t = \frac {50(8 - 0)}{200}$

$t = \frac {50*(8)}{200}$

$t = \frac {400}{200}$

Time, t = 2 seconds

Which are causes of mechanical weathering? (check all that apply)

solmaris [256]

The correct answers are:

B. plant growth;

C. animal actions;

The mechanical weathering is a type of weathering where physical force is included into the breaking up of the rocks. The plants and the animals are both causing this type of weathering with their actions. The plants can cause mechanical weathering with their roots, as they grow and surround a rock, they are able to create such a pressure that they can break the rock apart. Also, as their trunks are getting bigger, if there's rocks right next to them, the pressure from the growing of the trunk will crack the rocks. The animals are able to move the rocks, as well as pushing them, or even deliberately throwing them, so they manage to break up parts of them and cause mechanical weathering.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves of the same frequency along the x-axis. The amplitude of each wave is a. The sound intensity i

leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the amplitude of the sound, we must first determine the wavelength and the phase difference between the two speakers.

For the wavelength;

Recall that, the separation between two successive max. and min. intensity points are $\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$

Thus; for both speakers; the wavelength of the sound is:

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = (10+30) cm$

$\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = (40) cm$

λ = 80 cm

The relation between the path difference(Δx) and the phase difference(Δ∅) is:

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\Delta x + \Delta \phi_o$

where;

Δx = 10 cm

λ = 80 cm

Δ∅ = π rad

∴

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\Delta x + \Delta \phi_o$

$\pi \ rad = \dfrac{2 \pi}{80 \ cm}(10 \ cm) + \Delta \phi_o$

$\pi \ rad = \dfrac{2 \pi}{8}+ \Delta \phi_o$

$\pi \ rad = \dfrac{ \pi}{4}+ \Delta \phi_o$

$\Delta \phi_o = \pi -\dfrac{ \pi}{4}$

$\Delta \phi_o = \dfrac{ 4\pi - \pi}{4}$

$\Delta \phi_o = \dfrac{ 3\pi}{4} \ rad$

Suppose both speakers are placed side-by-side, then the path difference between the two speakers is: Δx = 0 cm

Thus, we have:

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}\Delta x + \Delta \phi_o$

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda}(0 \ cm ) + \dfrac{3 \pi}{4} \ rad$

$\Delta \phi = \dfrac{3 \pi}{4} \ rad$

∴

The amplitude of the sound wave if the two speakers are placed side-by-side is:

$A = 2a \ cos \bigg (\dfrac{\Delta \phi }{2} \bigg)$

$A = 2a \ cos \bigg (\dfrac{\dfrac{3 \pi}{4} }{2} \bigg)$

$A = 2a \ cos \bigg ({\dfrac{3 \pi}{8} } \bigg)$

A = 0.765a
