'A' and 'C' are exactly the same circuit, except the voltmeter's terminals are flipped.

'A' is the correct way to hook everything up.

If you start at the positive terminal of the battery, and follow the flow of current through the circuit and around to the negative terminal, you're following the path where the voltage gets lower and lower and lower all the way.

So each time you come to any device in the circuit ... whether it's a resistor or a meter ... you would be hitting the positive side of it first, and then the voltage where you come out on the other side of it would be lower.  

So the left side of the resistor is more positive, and the right side is more negative.  The voltmeter is connected correctly in 'A', but it's backwards in 'C'.  If you connect the voltmeter like in 'C' and turn things on, the voltmeter will try  to go <em>down</em> from zero.  You can't read the number on it, and It's possible that the voltmeter might be damaged.

Write the equation of a function h(t) that represents the amount of heat in joules required to heat the bar to a temperature of
bearhunter [10]
The initial temperature of the bar is 25. To get to the t temperature you need to add (t-25) degrees Celsius.

for 1 degree................... 7 Joules
      y given degree........  p Joules

p=7y

In our case y=(t-25) .

h(t) = 7(t-25) which is the final answer.

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3400 Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

L = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

V = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

f = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}

f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}

f = 3400 Hz

Describe and compare the rings of Saturn and Uranus, including their possible origins.
Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Okay, well, Saturn's rings form a wide and complex system, consisting mostly of particles and pieces of ice, and are highly visible. They may have formed from one or more moons that broke up due to a collision, or are left over from early debris that never coalesced into a moon... And, The rings of Uranus are thin and hard to see, consisting mostly of chunks of carbon and hydrocarbons with very little reflectivity. They may also have formed from the breakup of a small moon due to a collision. They may be kept thin by the presence of shepherd moons.

Hope I helped !
