Answer:

The difference between rotations and revolutions is , when an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

Explanation:

While rotation means spinning around its own axis, revolution means to move around another object. Taking the example of the Earth, which rotates 366 times to complete one revolution around the Sun.

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?

lubasha [3.4K]

1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}$
so in our problem we have
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}$
and the equivalent resistance is
$R_{eq} = \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega$

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A$

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?

disa [49]

Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or up-thrust. Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object. Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.

So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p

Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A , n 1 = 4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B , n 2 = 3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A , K A = 9500 J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B , Δ K = 600 J

Gas constant R = 8.314 J / molK

Let K B be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J
