Answer:

v_avg = 2.9 cm/s

Explanation:

The average velocity of the object is the sum of the distance of all its trajectories divided the time:

x_all is the total distance traveled by the object. In this case you have that the object traveled in the first trajectory 165cm-15cm = 150cm, and in the second one, 165cm - 25cm = 140cm

Then, x_all = 150cm + 140cm = 290cm

The average velocity is, for t = 100s

hence, the average velocity of the object in the total trajectory traveled is 2.9 cm/s

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$T = 69^o C$

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

$Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}$

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

$m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2$

here we have

$m_1 = 15 gram$

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

$c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C$

$\Delta T_1 = T - 0$

$\Delta T_2 = 85 - T$

now we have

$15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)$

$4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T$

$648.83 T = 44818.4$

$T = 69^o C$

Consider the classic problem with holiday lights, one little bulb goes out and the whole string goes out. First consider a strin

Flura [38]

Answer:

a. 0.33 Amp

b. 2.4 Volt

c. 0

d. 2.45 Amp

e. Infinite

f. Series is safer

Explanation:

Series Connection of Resistors

When two or more resistors are connected in series, the current through each one of them is the same, and the voltage divides depending on the particular value of each resistance. If all the resistances are equal, then the voltage is equally divided.

a. The string of 50 bulbs is connected to a 120 VAC outlet and consumes 40 W. The power of a circuit is given by

$P=V.I$

Solving for I

$\displaystyle I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{40}{120}=0.33\ Amp$

Since all the bulbs are connected in series the current is the same for all of them.

b. The voltage is equally divided, so each bulb has 120/50= 2.4 V

c. If one of the bulbs burns out and its resistance becomes infinite, then the series circuit is open and no current flows through it, neither through the rest of the bulbs. The typical case of the whole string going out.

d. If one of the bulbs short circuits, the resistance of that bulb is zero and the voltage is distributed by the 49 remaining bulbs. Thus the new current is

$\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{49}=2.45\ A$

e. If the bulbs were connected in parallel, all of them would have the same voltage, and the total current will be equally divided among them. In that case, a short circuit in one of the bulbs will cause a parallel short, theoretically producing an infinite current and making the short circuit protection blow up.

f. The condition described above makes the strings be made of series-connected bulbs which is safer than the parallel circuit. If a single bulb shorts, the entire string goes out in a series connection, but the breaker would trigger disconnection of the house circuit if it's a parallel connection. That is why we must deal with unusable strings instead of burning cables.
