The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

Extend your thinking: household appliances are usually connected in a parallel circuit. why do you think it might be a problem i
alexandr1967 [171]
The equivalent resistance of several devices connected in parallel is given by
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+...+ \frac{1}{R_n}
where R_i are the resistances of the various devices. We can see that every time we add a new device in parallel, the term \frac{1}{R_{eq}} increases, therefore the equivalent resistance of the circuit R_{eq} decreases.

But Ohm's law:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}
tells us that if the equivalent resistance decreases, the total current in the circuit increases. The power dissipated through the circuit (and so, the heat produced) depends on the square of the current:
P=I^2 R
therefore if there are too many devices connected in parallel, this can be a problem because there could be too much power dissipated (and too much heat) through the circuit.

A speeding Thunderbird left skid marks on the road that were 76.7 m long when it came to a stop. If the acceleration of the car
FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s

The density of mobile electrons in copper metal is 8.4 1028 m-3. Suppose that i = 4.6 1018 electrons/s are drifting through a co
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The time is 106.7 minute.

Explanation:

Given that,

Density = 8.4\times10^{28}\ m^3

Current i = 4.6\times10^{18}\ electron/s

Diameter of wire = 1.2 mm

Length = 31 cm

We need to calculate the drift velocity

Using formula of drift velocity

v_{d}=\dfrac{I}{neA}

v_{d}=\dfrac{Ne}{tne\times\pi r^2}

Put the value into the formula

v_{d}=\dfrac{4.6\times10^{18}}{8.4\times10^{28}\times\pi\times(0.6\times10^{-3})^2}

v_{d}=4.842\times10^{-5}\ m/s

We need to calculate the time

Using formula for time

v_{d}=\dfrac{l}{t}

t=\dfrac{l}{v_{d}}

Where, l = length

v_{d} = drift velocity

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{31\times10^{-2}}{4.842\times10^{-5}}

t=6402.31\ sec

t=106.7\ minute

Hence, The time is 106.7 minute.

A merchant in Katmandu sells you a solid gold 1.00-kg statue for a very reasonable price. When you get home, you wonder whether
White raven [17]

Answer:

a) 51.8 cm³

b) kg/m³ is a dimension of density (mass/volume). The regular unitys for volume are m³, cm³, L, gallons.

Explanation:

a) The density of pure gold is 19.3 g/cm³. When put in water, the piece of gold will occupy a volume, so that the volume of water will be displaced. To know the volume, we must divide the mass for the density (mass must be in grams because of the units of the density)

V = 1000/19.3

V = 51.8 cm³
