A 48-volt source is required to furnish 192 watts to a parallel circuit consisting of three resistors of equal value. What is th

e value of each resistor?
Physics

Answer:

36 Ω

Explanation:

Since the 3 resistors are connected in parallel.

The combined resistance of the resistor is

1/Rc = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R ...................... Equation 1

Where Rc = combined resistance of the three resistor, R1 = Resistance of each of the resistor

Rc = R/3 ....................... Equation 2

The formula of power is given as

P = V²/Rc

Rc = V²/P ................ Equation 3

Where V = Voltage, R =  Combined Resistance, P = power.

Given: V = 48 V, 192 W.

Substitute into equation 3

Rc = 48²/192

Rc = 12 Ω

From equation 2

Rc = R/3

R = 3Rc

Where Rc = 12 Ω

R = 3×12

R = 36 Ω

Hence the resistance on each resistor = 36 Ω

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r
Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}

where, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?
alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s

an ice cube is placed in the sun later there is a puddle of water later still the.puddle is gone what kind of change has occured
TiliK225 [7]

Clear question is;

An ice cube is placed in the sun. Later there is a puddle of water. Later still the puddle is gone. What kind of change has occurred?

Answer:

Physical change.

Explanation:

There are two type of changes called physical change and chemical change.

In Physical changes, there is only change in the appearance of the substance and not its chemical composition. Whereas, in Chemical changes the substance changes entirely into another substance with a new chemical formula.

Now, for the ice cube, it has melted from a solid state to a liquid state. Thus, there is only a change in appearance and not its chemical composition. Thus, it's a physical change that has occurred.
