Two identical batteries, each with an emf of 18 V and an internal resistance of 1 :, are wired in parallel by connecting their p

ositive terminals together and connecting their negative terminals together. The combination is then wired across a 4-: resistor. The current in the 4-: resistor is:

Answer:

I = 4 A

Explanation:

When the batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage is the same as the voltage of each battery, but the internal resistance is less, in general we can assume that the internal resistance is also in parallel.

            1 / r_{eq} = 1 / r₁ + 1 / r₂ = 2 / r = 2/1

           r_{eq} = 0.5 ohm

The current in the resistor is

      V = I R + I r_{eq}

       I = V / R + r_{eq}

       I = 18 / (4 +0.5)

       I = 4 A

A particular car engine operates between temperatures of 440°C (inside the cylinders of the engine) and 20°C (the temperature of
Step2247 [10]

One of the concepts to be used to solve this problem is that of thermal efficiency, that is, that coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced and the energy supplied to the machine.

From the temperature the value is given as

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

Where,

T_L = Cold focus temperature

T_H = Hot spot temperature

Our values are given as,

T_L = 20\° C = (20+273) K = 293 K

T_H = 440\° C = (440+273) K = 713 K

Replacing we have,

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1-\frac{293}{713}

\eta = 0.589

Therefore the maximum possible efficiency the car can have is 58.9%

Assume the equation x 5 At3 1 Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having
igomit [66]

Answer:

(a) A = m/s^3, B = m/s.

(b) dx/dt = m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

x = At^3 + Bt\\m = As^3 + Bs\\m = (\frac{m}{s^3})s^3 + (\frac{m}{s})s

Therefore, the dimension of A is m/s^3, and of B is m/s in order to satisfy the above equation.

(b) \frac{dx}{dt} = 3At^2 + B = 3(\frac{m}{s^3})s^2 + \frac{m}{s} = m/s

This makes sense, because the position function has a unit of 'm'. The derivative of the position function is velocity, and its unit is m/s.
