6. Knowing that the severity of a shock depends on the magnitude of the current through your body, would you prefer to be in ser

ies or parallel with a resistance, such as the heating element of a toaster, if shocked by it? Explain.

Answer:I would like to be in parallel with a resistance

Explanation:

I would like to be in parallel with a resistance because, the degree of current flow varies with the resistance in a parallel circuit (Having it's formula to be I = I1 + I2 + I3 + I4...., that is, I= V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3 + V/R4) in contrast with the series circuit that has a constant current value "I" flowing through it

Answer:

Explanation:

In series the resistance of combination is large, so if the resistance is more, the current will be less and we will have less shock.

In parallel, the combined resistance is less than the individual resistances so the current is more and we will have more shock.

So we should prefer series connection

A 3.91 kg cart is moving at 5.7 m/s when it collides with a 4 kg cart which was at rest. They collide and stick together.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

<em>The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

It states the total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

The common velocity after this situation is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

There is an m1=3.91 kg car moving at v1=5.7 m/s that collides with an m2=4 kg cart that was at rest v2=0.

After the collision, both cars stick together. Let's compute the common speed after that:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{3.91*5.7+4*0}{3.91+4}

\displaystyle v'=\frac{22.287}{7.91}

\boxed{v' = 2.82\ m/s}

The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s2. The free-body di
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

Explanation:

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.

The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s² horizontally.

Horizontal force = Fcosθ = 250 cos35° = 204.79N

We have F = ma

Substituting

        204.79 = m x 1.4  

              m = 146.28 kg = 146 kg

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

A student weighing 120 lbs climbs a 12 ft flight of stairs in 9 seconds. how much power did the student create?
Alex Ar [27]
Power can be calculate through the equation,
                        Power = Force x velocity

It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power. 
                       Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
                         <em> </em><span><em>Power   = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>

You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?
erastova [34]

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

A long thin uniform rod of length 1.50 m is to be suspended from a frictionless pivot located at some point along the rod so tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

0.087 m

Explanation:

Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m

Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.

time period, T = 3  s

the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{mgd}}    .... (1)

where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12

By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is

I = Ic + md²

I = \frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}

Substituting the values in equation (1)

3 = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{mL^{2}}{12}+ md^{2}}{mgd}}

9=4\pi^{2}\times \left ( \frac{\frac{L^{2}}{12}+d^{2}}{gd} \right )

12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 =  0

d=\frac{26.84\pm \sqrt{26.84^{2}-4\times 12\times 2.25}}{24}

d=\frac{26.84\pm 24.75}{24}

d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m

d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.

Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.
