A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon = 1000 cm^3

Explanation:

The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

Volume of sphere $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , where r is the radius.

We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

Approximate volume of head $=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3$

In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

So, volume of head = Volume of balloon = 1000 cm^3

An electric travel blanket uses a car's 12V supply. The current is 3A.

snow_lady [41]

For electrical devices . . .

   Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =

   (12 V) x (3.0 A) = 36 watts .

1 watt means 1 joule per second

   (36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min) = 21,600 joules

A circuit consists of a series combination of 6.50 −kΩ and 4.50 −kΩ resistors connected across a 50.0-V battery having negligibl

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Part A: 16.1 V

Part B: 20.5 V

Part C: 21.5%

Explanation:

The voltmeter is in parallel with the 4.5-kΩ resistor and the combination is in series with the 6.5-kΩ resistor. The equivalent resistance of the parallel combination is given as

$\dfrac{1}{R_E}=\dfrac{1}{4.50}+\dfrac{1}{10.0}$

$R_E=\dfrac{4.50\times10.0}{4.50+10.0} = 3.10$

Part A

The voltmeter reading is the potential difference across the parallel combination. This is found by using the voltage-divider rule.

$V_1 = \dfrac{3.10}{3.10+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{3.10}{9.60}\times50.0 = 16.1 \text{ V}$

Part B

Without the voltmeter, the potential difference across the 4.5-kΩ resistor is found using the same rule as above:

$V_2 = \dfrac{4.50}{4.50+6.50}\times50.0 = \dfrac{4.50}{11.0}\times50.0 = 20.5 \text{ V}$

Part C

The error in % is given by

$\dfrac{20.5-16.1}{20.5}\times100\% = \dfrac{4.4}{20.5}\times100\% = 21.5\%$
