P = F/S - S = F/P = 250/5000= 0.05 m2

Answer:

Area=0.05 $m^{2}$

Explanation:

Given pressure=5000 Pa

and weight=250 N

Using equation

Pressure=Force/Area

So,Area=Force/pressure

Area=250/5000

Area=0.05 $m^{2}$

In which electric circuit would the voltmeter read 10 volts ?

ki77a [65]

Given that,

Voltage = 10 volt

Suppose, The three resistance is connected in parallel and each resistance is 12 Ω. find the current in the electric circuit.

We need to calculate the equivalent resistance

Using formula of parallel

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{3}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}$

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$R=4\ \Omega$

We need to calculate the current in the circuit

Using ohm's law

$V=IR$

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

Where, V = voltage

R = resistance

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{10}{4}$

$I=2.5\ A$

Hence, The current in the circuit is 2.5 A

10. Explain the principle of electric motor. Write its uses.

konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The principle of an electric motor is based on the current carrying conductor which produces magnetic field around it. A current carrying conductor is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field so that it experiences a force.

The largest electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors are found in industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools and disk drives.

If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from our galaxy), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substa

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The statement makes sense since it's already explained that the galaxy is moving away from us and unlike option C which depicts that the galaxy is moving to us.

This statement makes sense. The redshift means that we see the galaxy moving away from us, so observers in that galaxy must also see us moving away from them—which means they see us redshifted as well

3) How far will 20 N of force stretch a spring with a spring constant of 140 N/m?

muminat

Answer:

7 meters, 2.8 meters

Explanation:

work done (nm) = force (n) * distance (m)

140= 20 * m

140/20 = m

m=7 meters

140= 50 * m

140/50 = m

m= 2.8 meters
