Answer:

The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

As the power lines  of ground are equal, so its electrical field is perpendicular to the ground and the equipotential surface is cylindrical. Therefore, if we put the position fluorescent tube parallel to the ground so the both ends of the tube lie on the same equipotential surface and the difference is zero when its  potential.

And the ends of the tube must be on separate equipotential surfaces to optimize potential. The surface near the power line has a greater potential value and the surface farther from the line has a lower potential value, so the tube must be placed perpendicular to the floor to maximize the potential difference.

The current in a hair dryer measures 15 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?
ZanzabumX [31]
We have that there is a formula connecting these three. V=I*R where V is voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Substituting, we get that V=210 Volta, which is the unit of measurement for voltage. You can think of the relationship in the following way : The energy of the field is equal to the flow of the field times the resistance that it meets.

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000
34kurt
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

A system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 222 J when 150 J of wor
joja [24]

Answer:0 J

Explanation:

Given

For first step

change in internal Energy of the system is \Delta U_1=222 J

Work done on the system W_1=-150 J

For second step

change in internal Energy of the system is \Delta U_2=123 J

Work done on the system W_2=-195 J

Work done on the system is considered as Positive and vice-versa.

and from first law of thermodynamics

Q=\Delta U+W

for first step

Q_1=222-150=72 J

Q_2=123-195=-72 J

overall heat added=Q_1+Q_2

Q_{net}=72-72 =0

For overall Process Heat added is 0 J

¿Cuál de las siguientes magnitudes es derivada?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

A. El volumen

B. La densidad.

Explanation:

A derived quantity is defined as one that has to be calculated by using two or more other measurements.

Volume is a derived quantity because it requires one to use different measurements to determine it. For instance, in the case of a cube, the length, width and height of the cube are all needed to calculate volume.

Density is also a derived quantity because it needs both volume and mass for it to be calculated.

Consider two massless springs connected in series. Spring 1 has a spring constant k1, and spring 2 has a spring constant k2. A c
Andru [333]

Answer:

a. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹ b. k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹

Explanation:

Since only one force F acts, the force on spring with spring constant k₁ is F = k₁x₁ where x₁ is its extension

the force on spring with spring constant k₂ is F = k₂x₂ where x₁ is its extension

Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.

The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂

x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂

1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂

k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂)⁻¹

B

The force on spring with spring constant k₃ is F = k₃x₃ where x₃ is its extension

Let F = kx be the force on the equivalent spring with spring constant k and extension x.

The total extension , x = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

x = F/k = F/k₁ + F/k₂ + F/k₃

1/k = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃

k = (1/k₁ + 1/k₂ + 1/k₃)⁻¹
