A 1-lb block and a 100-lb block are placed side by side at the top of a frictionless hill. Each is given a very light tap to beg

in their race to the bottom of the hill. In the absence of air resistance, what can you conclude about the outcome of the race?a) The 1-lb block wins the race.
b) The 100-lb block wins the race.
c) The two blocks end in a tie.
d) There’s not enough information to determine which block wins the race

Answer:

(c). The two blocks end in a tie

Explanation:

the reason being the absence of any resistance offered to both of the blocks.

if the slope of the hill is for instance 60 deg.

then the acceleration in absence of any resistance is a= 9.81sin(60)

since the acceleration is same then both of the blocks will reach at the same instant

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is
aivan3 [116]

By definition we have to:

Pabs = Patm + Pg

Where,

Pabs: absolute pressure

Patm: atmospheric pressure

Pg: gage pressure

The atmospheric pressure is constant and its value is:

Patm = 101.325 kPa

Then, by clearing gage pressure we have:

Pg = Pabs - Patm

Substituting values we have:

Pg = 550.280 - 101.325\\Pg = 448.955 KPa

Answer:

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is:

D. 448.955 kPa

A spring with a spring constant of 400 n / M has a mass hung on it so it stretches 8 cm. calculate how much mass the spring is s
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

3.3kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Spring constant = 400N/m

Extension  = 8cm  = 0.08m

Unknown:

Amount of mass the spring is supporting  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem:

     F  = kE

F is the force

k is the spring constant

E is the extension

  So;

            F  = 400 x 0.08  = 32N

Mass;

       Force  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

          32  = mass x 9.8

  Mass = 3.3kg

Consider the power dissipated by the two circuits in the video. The ratio of power dissipation in the parallel circuit to that i
klemol [59]

Answer:

A)

Explanation:

  • In a series circuit,  if we assume that each bulb has a resistance R, the equivalent resistance, is the sum of all the resistances, in this case, 3*R.
  • The power dissipated in this resistance, can be expressed as follows:

       P_{series}  = V*I = V*(\frac{V}{R_{eq}})  = \frac{V^{2}}{3*R} (1)

  • In the parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance, is equal to 1/3*R.
  • The power dissipated in this resistance, can be expressed as follows:

       P_{//}  = V*I = V*(\frac{V}{R_{eq}})  = \frac{V^{2}}{\frac{R}{3} } (2)

  • In order to take the ratio of both powers, we can divide both sides of (1) and (2) , as follows:

        \frac{P_{//} }{P_{series} } =\frac{V^{2}}{\frac{R}{3}} * \frac{3*R}{V^{2}} = 9

  • The ratio of power dissipation in the parallel circuit to that in the series circuit is 9 times.
