Answer:

(c) The current in each resistor is the same.

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(c) The current in each resistor is the same. --> TRUE.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.

The resolution of a camera or other optical system is determined by the relationship between what two scales?
devlian [24]

Answer:

d.The wavelength of light and the size of the aperture

Explanation:

<em>The resolution power of an optical system is the smallest distance between two points that the device can distinguish clearly.</em>

It has the following relationship:

r=\frac{\lambda}{2n}

where:

r = minimum resolvable distance

n = numerical aperture

\lambda= wavelength of the light used for viewing

From above mathematical equation it is clear that:

  • Smaller the wavelength better the resolving power
  • Larger the aperture better the resolution

(Note, that smaller the value of "r" the more finer details of the image visible through the device.)

Exactly one turn of a flexible rope with mass m is wrapped around a uniform cylinder with mass M and radius R.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

\omega=\sqrt{\omega_0^2(\frac{M+m}{M})}

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy when the cylinder is with the rope is:

E_k=\frac{1}{2}I_c\omega_0^2+\frac{1}{2}I_r\omega_0^2

where we used the fact that both rope and cylinder hast the same w. This E_k must conserve, that is, E_k must equal E_k when the rope leaves the cylinder. Hence, the final w is given by:

E_{k1}=E_{k2}\\\\\frac{1}{2}I_c\omega_0^2+\frac{1}{2}I_r\omega_0^{2}=\frac{1}{2}I_c\omega^2\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\omega_0^2(\frac{I_c+I_r}{I_c})} (1)

For Ic and Ir we can assume that the rope is a ring of the same radius of the cylinder. Then, we have:

I_c=\frac{1}{2}MR^2\\\\I_r=mR^2

Finally, by replacing in (1):

\omega=\sqrt{\omega_0^2(\frac{M+m}{M})}

hope this helps!!

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Lifetime = 4.928 x 10^-32 s  

Explanation:

(1 / v2 – 1 / c2) x2 = T2

T2 = (1/ 297900000 – 1 / 90000000000000000) 0.0000013225

T2 = (3.357 x 10^-9 x 1.11 x 10^-17) 1.3225 x 10^-6

T2 = (3.726 x 10^-26) 1.3225 x 10^-6 = 4.928 x 10^-32 s
