What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the cur

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the completed question

If the resistor in the circuit had a larger resistance then the current would be then have to be proportionally smaller. Because the batteries each give off 1.5 volts then the current would have to be the variable that would change. What affect would using a 12V car battery have on the operation of your circuit? (Do not try this.) What would happen to the current? What would happen to the resistor?

Explanation:

Using ohms law as our basis

Ohms law state that, the voltage in an ohmic conductor is directly proportional to the current

V∝I

Resistance is the constant of proportionality

Then

V=iR

Since we want a relationship between current and resistance.

then, I=V/R

So, current is inversely proportional to Resistance

as the current increase the resistance reduce and as the current reduces the resistance increases.

a. So, increasing the voltage from 1.5V to 12V increases the current In the circuit because voltage Is directly proportional to I.

From ohms law

V=iR

When v =1.5V

I=1.5/R

When V increase to 12V

I=12/R

I.e, it increases by a factor of 8. Eight times it's initial value

b. Now, the resistance in the circuit is the constant of proportionality and it doesn't change in a given circuit expect when using a variable resistoa r like rheostat.

Which of the following about Dalton's theory of matter is true?

Lemur [1.5K]

D.Atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe allmatter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that allmatter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

Radon-222 ( 222/86 Rn) is a radioactive gas with a half-life of 3.82 days. A gas sample contains 4.1 e 8 radon atoms initially.

kow [346]

Answer :

(a) The number of radon atoms will remain after 12 days is, $4.67\times 10^7$

(b) The number of radon nuclei have decayed by this time will be, $3.6\times 10^8$

Explanation :

For part (a) :

Half-life = 3.82 days

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{3.82\text{ days}}$

$k=1.81\times 10^{-1}\text{ days}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the number of radon atoms will remain after 12 days.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.81\times 10^{-1}\text{ days}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = 12 days

a = initially number of radon atoms = $4.1\times 10^8$

a - x = number of radon atoms left = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$12=\frac{2.303}{1.81\times 10^{-1}}\log\frac{4.1\times 10^8}{a-x}$

$a-x=4.67\times 10^7$

Thus, the number of radon atoms will remain after 12 days is, $4.67\times 10^7$

For part (b) :

Now we have to calculate the number of radon nuclei will have decayed by this time.

The number of radon nuclei have decayed = Initial number of radon atoms - Number of radon atoms left

The number of radon nuclei have decayed = $(4.1\times 10^8)-(4.67\times 10^7)$

The number of radon nuclei have decayed = $3.6\times 10^8$

Thus, the number of radon nuclei have decayed by this time will be, $3.6\times 10^8$

The advantage of using a chain over a belt drive

vitfil [10]

A belt drive requires less maintenance, lasts longer and is cleaner. It also delivers a smoother ride, which is why this type of drive system is most commonly used on cruiser motorcycles.A chain drive, on the other hand, delivers power more economically than a belt drive, and it sends more of the power that the engine produces to the wheel. While they require more maintenance, the improved performance means they are the more common type of drive method.
