Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.

1 answer:

6 0

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

Does a sled have inertia while sitting still

madam [21]

Answer:

Yes, a sled has inertia while sitting still.

Explanation:

From Newton's law of inertia, an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. The reason the object will remain at rest unless an external force acts is because of inertia. Inertia means the resistance of an object to motion.

Thus, a sled hammer at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. So we can conclude that it has Inertia.

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.85 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After s

enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:

$p_i = p_f$

$m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v$

$v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s$

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}$

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:

$v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s$

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, $u_1(i)=10.5$ m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, $u_2(i)=0$ m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, $m_1=55.0$ kg

Mass of her brother is, $m_2=30.0$ kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

$v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79$ m/s

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:

$E(i) = E(f)$

$KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)$

$0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)$

$v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s$

A jet accelerates from rest down a runway at 1.75m/s² for a distance of 1500 m before takeoff.

babunello [35]

A. Using the third equation of motion:
v2 = u2 + 2as
from the question;
the jet was initially at rest
hence u = 0
a = 1.75m/s2
s = 1500m
v2 = 02 + 2(1.75)(1500)
v2 = 5250
v = √5250
v = 72.46m/s
hence it moves with a velocity of 72.46m/s.
b. s = ut + 1/2at2
1500 = 0(t) + 1/2(1.75)t2
1500 × 2 = 2× 1/2(1.75)t2
3000 = 1.75t2
1714.29 = t2
41.4 = t
hence the time taken for the plane to down the runway is 41.4s.

Compare physical changes and chemical changes

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume
