Answer:

ΔR_{e} = 84   Ω,     R_{e} = (40 ± 8) 10¹   Ω

Explanation:

The formula for parallel equivalent resistance is

          1 / R_{e} = ∑ 1 / Ri

In our case we use a resistance of each

           R₁ = 500 ± 50  Ω

          R₂ = 2000 ± 5%

This percentage equals

        0.05 = ΔR₂ / R₂

        ΔR₂ = 0.05 R₂

        ΔR₂ = 0.05 2000 = 100   Ω

We write the resistance

        R₂ = 2000 ± 100    Ω

We apply the initial formula

        1 / R_{e} = 1 / R₁ + 1 / R₂

        1 / R_{e} = 1/500 + 1/2000 = 0.0025

        R_{e}  = 400    Ω

Let's look for the error  (uncertainly) of Re

      R_{e} = R₁R₂ / (R₁ + R₂)

       R’= R₁ + R₂

       R_{e} = R₁R₂ / R’

Let's look for the uncertainty of this equation

      ΔR_{e} / R_{e} = ΔR₁ / R₁ + ΔR₂ / R₂ + ΔR’/ R’

The uncertainty of a sum is

      ΔR’= ΔR₁ + ΔR₂

We substitute the values

     ΔR_{e} / 400 = 50/500 + 100/2000 + (50 +100) / (500 + 2000)

     ΔR_{e} / 400 = 0.1 + 0.05 + 0.06

     ΔR_{e} = 0.21 400

     ΔR_{e} = 84   Ω

Let's write the resistance value with the correct significant figures

    R_{e} = (40 ± 8) 10¹   Ω

The cpu might be covered by a(n) ________, which dissipates the heat generated by the chip.
FinnZ [79.3K]
I think he correct term to fill in the blank would be heat sink. The CPU might be covered by a heat sink, which dissipates the heat generated by the chip. A heat sink is any device or a substance that absorbs heat generated or from the heat reservoir. For a device, it would be one that has a fan or a peltier device in order to keep a system having a cool temperature. This is done to protect a system from any damage due to excess heat. This protect any device from overheating. A CPU surely have this device because it should be kept cool to protect the chips inside it.

Is it inhumane to keep a cat in one room?
Deffense [45]
So there are a couple of variables to that question. if the room has everything a cat needs then no. if it had food, water, a bed, stuff to keep it occupied, a litter box, sunlight, and some other form of life to keep it company then no it wouldn't be.
But if you locked it in a dark room without any of that stuff yes the cat would die

An automobile is traveling away from Jill and towards Jack. The horn is honking, producing a sound wave.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a. The sound will travel at the speed to both Jill and Jack

b. Jack

Explanation:

a. Doppler effect describes how the frequency of a sound wave changes with regards to an observer that has relative motion to the sound source;

The Doppler effect is given by the following formula;

For a sound that is moving away, as observed by Jill, we have;

f' = \dfrac{(v - v_0)}{(v + v_s)} \cdot f =  \dfrac{v }{(v + v_s)} \cdot f

For approaching sound, as observed by Jack, we have;

f' = \dfrac{(v + v_0)}{(v - v_s)} \cdot f =  \dfrac{v }{(v - v_s)} \cdot f

Where;

f = The sound wave's actual frequency

f' = The frequency of the moving sound to the observer

v = The speed of the sound wave

v₀ = The observer's velocity = 0

v_s = The velocity of the source (the automobile honking) of the sound wave

From the above equation, we have that the speed of sound, 'v', is the same to both the source, and the observer although the frequency, and therefore, the wavelength of the sound alternatively increases or decreases

b. From the Doppler effect equation, the person who will hear the highest frequency is given by the formula for the frequency when the sound is approaching the observer, which has the lower denominator

Therefore, given that the automobile is travelling towards Jack, jack will hear the higher frequency

find the time taken, if the speed of a train increased from 72 km/hr to 90 km/hr for 234 km. leave your answer in seconds
Airida [17]

Answer:

Time taken = 10400 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the train, u=72\textrm{ km/h}=72\times \frac{5}{18}=20\textrm{ m/s}

Final speed of the train, v=90\textrm{ km/h}=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25\textrm{ m/s}

Displacement of the train, S=234\textrm{ km}=234\times 1000=234000\textrm{ m}

Using Newton's equation of motion,

v - u = at\\a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Now, using Newton's equation of motion for displacement,

v^{2}-u^{2}=2aS

Now, plug in the value of a=\frac{v-u}{t} in the above equation. This gives,

v^{2}-u^{2}=2\times \frac{v-u}{t}\times S\\(v+u)(v-u)=\frac{2(v-u)S}{t}\\t=\frac{2(v-u)S}{(v+u)(v-u)}\\t=\frac{2S}{v+u}

Now, plug in 234000 m for S, 25 m/s for v and 20 m/s for u. Solve for t.

t=\frac{2S}{v+u}\\t=\frac{2\times 234000}{25+20}\\t=\frac{468000}{45}=10400\textrm{ s}

Therefore, the time taken by the train is 10400 s.
