Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are

connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is. Part A Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

r=0.127

Explanation:

When  connected in series

Current = I

When connected in parallel

Current = 10 I

We know that equivalent resistance

In series  R = R₁+R₂

in parallel  R= R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)

Given that voltage is constant (Vo)

V = I R

Vo = I (R₁+R₂)  ------------1

Vo = 10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) -------2

From above equations

10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) = I (R₁+R₂)  

10  R₁R₂ =  (R₁+R₂) (R₂+ R₁)

10  R₁R₂  = 2  R₁R₂  + R₁² + R₂²

8 R₁R₂  =     R₁² + R₂²

Given that

r =  R₁/R₂

Divides by R₂²

8R₁/R₂  = ( R₁/R₂)²+ 1

8 r = r ² + 1

r ² - 8 r+ 1 =0  

r= 0.127 and r= 7.87

But given that R₂>R₁  It means that r<1 only.

So the answer is r=0.127

What was David Berkowitz best known for? How did arson play a role in his past?
tankabanditka [31]
David Berkowitz, who became known as Son of Sam, went on a murderous rampage in New York City during the 1970s, taunting and insulting police, until they captured him. On August 10, 1977, 11 days after his last murder, David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, was arrested and later sentenced to six consecutive 25-years-to-life terms. Arson has evolved, since the 18th century, from a wrongful individual act into an effective means of collective violence, too. From 1750, the privatisation of common land in England limited peasants' access to resources such as firewood and game. Hope this helped!

A supercapacitor is an electrical energy storage device. A supercapacitor, initially charged to 2.1 thousand millivolts, supplie
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

the time taken t is 9.25 minutes

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The initial charge on the supercapacitor = 2.1 × 10³ mV = 2.1 V

now, every minute, the charge lost is 9.9 %  

so we need to find the time for which the charge drops below 800 mV or 0.8 V

to get the time, we can use the formula for compound interest in basic mathematics;

A = P × ( (1 - r/100 )ⁿ

where A IS 0.8, P is 2.1, r is 9.9

so we substitute

0.8 = 2.1 × ( 1 - 0.099 )ⁿ

0.8/2.1 = 0.901ⁿ

0.901ⁿ = 0.381

n = 9.25 minutes

Therefore, the time taken t is 9.25 minutes

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, how much work does the rope do on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m?
Lunna [17]

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, - 43200 J work doen by the rope on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m.

Given,

Tension force in the rope is (T) = 160 N

Displacement of the skier (S) = 270 m

The displacement takes place in forward direction while the direction of the tension in the rope is opposite to it.

Therefore, work done by the rope on  the skier is,

   W=T.S

⇒W=270*160*cos\pi \\W=-43200 J

Hence work done by the rope is - 43200 J.

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.
