"How did your current and voltage measurements differ between the series and parallel circuits you created

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

A tank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 K and pressure of 1.00 atm.

bekas [8.4K]

To find the temperature it is necessary to use the expression and concepts related to the ideal gas law.

Mathematically it can be defined as

$PV=nRT$

Where

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

When the number of moles and volume is constant then the expression can be written as

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Or in practical terms for this exercise depending on the final temperature:

$T_2 = \frac{P_2T_1}{P_1}$

Our values are given as

$T_1 = 400K\\P_1 = 1atm\\P_2 = 2atm$

Replacing

$T_2 = \frac{(2)(400)}{1}\\T_2 = 800K$

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 800K

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when t

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Mass of bumper cars, $m_1=m_2=110\ kg$

Initial speed of car A, $u_1=8\ m/s$

Initial speed of car Z, $u_2=-10\ m/s$

Final speed of car A after the collision, $v_1=-10\ m/s$

We need to find the velocity of car Z after the collision. Let it is equal to $v_2$ . Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$110\times 8+110\times (-10)=110\times (-10)+110v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{-1320}{110}\ m/s$

$v_2=-12\ m/s$

So, the velocity of car Z after the collision is (-12 m/s). Hence, this is the required solution.

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25$

$a=-5.76m/sec^2$

We know that acceleration is given by

$a=\mu g$

$5.76=\mu\times 9.81$

$\mu =0.587$

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587
