Answer:

  • <u><em>Voltage is too low</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Generators</em> produce a potential difference (voltage) by <em>spinning </em>a coil of wire in a magnetic field by induction.

The  produced voltage is proportional to the relative speed of the coil wire with respect to the magnetic field.

Hence, for a given generator, the higher the speed the higher the potential difference.

Therefore, it is concluded immediately that when Kristina spins the generator slowly, less potential difference (voltage) is generated.

Also, you must know that the brightness of the bulbs varies with the current: the higher the current, the brigther the bulbs.

On the other hand, the basic realtion between voltage (V), resistance (R), and current I) is given by Ohm's law: V = R × I. This is, voltage and current are proportional.

Since the generator is producting less voltage, for the same bulbs (which are resistors) , the current will be lower too. And, as stated, lower current means lower brightness, which explains why when Kristina spins the generator slowly, the bulbs are very dim.

If an electronic circuit experiences a loss of 3 decibels with an input power of 6 watts, what would its output power be, to the
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Output power of the circuit is 3 Watt.

Given:

loss in decibles = 3 dB

Input power = 6 Watt

To find:

Output power = ?

Formula used:

Output power = Input power × loss in ratio

Solution:

3 dB loss = 0.5 ratio

Output power is given by,

Output power = Input power × loss in ratio

Output power = 6 × 0.5

Output power = 3 Watt

Thus, output power of the circuit is 3 Watt.

What did Thomson’s model of the atom include that Dalton’s model did not have?
astraxan [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Dalton's model of atom states that every matter is made up of atoms and these atoms are indivisible in nature.

On the other hand, Thomson's model of atom states that there are small particles present in an atom that has positive or negative charges.

Thomson's model of atom is also known as plum pudding model where negatively charged particles are represented by plum and positively charged particles are represented by pudding.

Thus, we can conclude that Thomson’s model of the atom include smaller particles that Dalton’s model did not have.

Dahasolnce [82]

This is Kinematics and the equations in your book.

A speed time graph would plot the speed of something against the teime it was at a speed.

If it were changing it speed constantly, that would be a straight line if acclerating. Total distrance would be the area under the graph.
