To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 25.1 Resistor Circuits. Find the currents through and the potential difference across each

resistor in the circuit shown on the diagram (Figure 1) . Use the following values: E = 12.0V , R1 = 15.0Ω , R2 = 45.0Ω , R3 = 20.0Ω , and R4 = 25.0Ω .
Part A

Step by step, reduce the circuit to the smallest possible number of equivalent resistors in order to find the equivalent resistance Req of the entire circuit.

Express you answer in ohms to three significant figures.

Answer:

I₁ = 0.32 A

I₂ = 0.16 A

I₃ = 0.16 A

I₄ = 0.16 A

Explanation:

Part A

The equivalent resistance of the circuit is

Req = R₁ + (R₂||(R₃ + R₄))

Req = 15 + (45||(20 + 25))

Req = 15 + (45||45) = 15 + ((45×45)/(45+45)) = 15 + 22.5 = 37.5 Ω

Part B

From Ohm's law,

V = IR

Ieq = V/(Req) = 12/(37.5) = 0.32 A

Part C

Current through R₁ is the same as Ieq as R₁ is directly in series with the voltage source.

I₁ = 0.32 A

Then, this current flows through the (R₂||(R₃ + R₄)) loop too as the entire loop is in series with R₁

This current is them split into two branches of R₂ and (R₃ + R₄), since these two branches have equal resistances (45 Ω and 45 Ω), 0.32 A is split equally between the R₂ and (R₃ + R₄) branch.

Current through R₂ (using current divider)

I₂ = (45/90) × 0.32 = 0.16 A

Current through (R₃ + R₄) = 0.16 A too.

And because the two resistors are in series, the same current flows through them.

I₃ = I₄ = 0.16 A

Answer:

460 g

Explanation:

Heat lost by the warm water = heat gained by the cold water

-mCΔT = mCΔT

-m (4.184 J/g/K) (37°C − 85°C) = (1000 g) (4.184 J/g/K) (37°C − 15°C)

-m (37°C − 85°C) = (1000 g) (37°C − 15°C)

-m (-48°C) = (1000 g) (22°C)

m = 458 g

Rounded to two significant figures, you need a mass of 460 g of water.

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point
vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s

\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m

Therefore the frequency would be given as

f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}

f = 57.14Hz

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi *57.14

\omega = 359.03rad/s

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

V_{max} = A\omega

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)

V_{max} = 3.59m/s

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s
