6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Technician A is incorrect as in series circuit the current is the same for all the resistors and if one bulb fails in the path then the circuit is incomplete and therefore no flow of current.

Technician B is correct as in parallel circuit there are multiple paths for current through which it can pass and malfunctioning of one resistor does not affect the other.

In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 43.4
Anton [14]

Answer:

Average net force, F = 15157.15 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

The mass of the car and riders is, m=3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 0

Final speed of the car, v = 43.4 m/s

Time, t = 8.59 seconds

We need to find the  average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets. It can be calculated using second law of motion as :

F = m a

F=m(\dfrac{v-u}{t})

F=3\times 10^3\ kg\times (\dfrac{43.4\ m/s-0}{8.59\ s})

F = 15157.15 N

So, the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets. Hence, this is the required solution.

A friend asks you how much pressure is in your car tires. You know that the tire manufacturer recommends 30 psi, but it's been a
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

21 psi

Explanation:

The weight of the car is:

W = mg

W = 1000 kg * 9.8 m/s²

W = 9800 N

Divided by 4 tires, each tire supports:

F = W/4

F = 9800 N / 4

F = 2450 N

Pressure is force divided by area, so:

P = F / A

P = (2450 N) / (0.13 m × 0.13 m)

P ≈ 145,000 Pa

101,325 Pa is the same as 14.7 psi, so:

P ≈ 145,000 Pa × (14.7 psi / 101,325 Pa)

P ≈ 21 psi

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d
AlladinOne [14]
The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
\Delta t is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and \Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s, so the average current during the event is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A
