Answer:

=8.0 Watts

Explanation:

Power is a ratio of work done over time. The power in an electric circuit is calculated using the following formula:

P=I²R

P is power, I is  current, R is resistance

Therefore,  Power= 4²ₓ 0.5Ω

=8.0 Watts

The power in the parallel circuit is 8 W.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Power in an electric circuit is defined as the current generated for a given amount of input voltage. So power of an electric circuit is directly proportional to the product of current and voltage in the circuit. The mathematical representation is

             \text { Power }=\text { Current } \times \text { voltage }

As per Ohm’s law, the current flowing in a closed circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the circuit and resistance is the constant of proportionality between them. So

            \text { Current } \propto \text { voltage }

            \text {Voltage}=\text {Current} \times \text {Resistance}

Thus the formula for power in terms of resistance will look like

      \text { Power }=\text { Current } \times \text { current } \times \text { resistance }=(\text { Current })^{2} \times \text { Resistance }

As it is given that the net current in the parallel circuit is 4 A and equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit is given as 0.5 ohms. Then power is

                 \text { Power }=4 \times 4 \times 0.5 = 8 W

Thus, the power in the parallel circuit is 8 W.

You carry a 20 N bag of dog food up a 6.0 m flight of stairs. How much work was done?
MariettaO [177]
Answer:
120 J

Explanation:


Formula Of Work= Work= Force x Displacement

Work= 20 N x 6.0

Work= 120 Joules

The reason I put joules because the Unit of work is joules

Why is the warm air rising while the cold air is sinking
UNO [17]
Because cold air tends to more dense, and it's therefore heavier, and it sinks.
Hot air though is hot with no density so it's light and rises.

A water pipe tapers down from an initial radius of R1 = 0.21 m to a final radius of R2 = 0.11 m. The water flows at a velocity v
Aleks [24]

Answer:

0.116 m^3/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe is given by:

Q=Av

where

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the fluid

In this problem, at the initial point we have

v = 0.84 m/s is the speed of the water

r = 0.21 m is the radius of the pipe, so the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.21 m)^2 =0.138 m^2

So, the volume flow rate is

Q=(0.138 m^2)(0.84 m/s)=0.116 m^3/s

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?
Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.
