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

Consider a block of mass m attached to two springs, one on the left with spring constant k1 and one on the right with spring con
Andrew [12]

Answer:

T= 2\pi\times sqrt(m/(k1+k2))

Explanation:

When the block is displaced by x units

F= spring force

two springs are connected parallel

F =-k_1x - k_2x

Writing Newtons second law, F = ma

-k_1x - k_2x =ma

-k_1x - k_2x = mx''

a= x" ( differentiating x w.r.t time twice)

x''+(k_1/m + k_2/m) x=0

this the standard form of equation of oscillation spring mass system

This is the differential equation, x'' means that double differentiation of x , i.e, x'' is acceleration

since,  Period T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K_{eq.}} }

therefore,

T= 2\pi\times sqrt(m/(k1+k2))

A copper wire of length 16 cm is in a magnetic field of 0.19 T. If it has a mass of 9.0 g, what is the minimum current through t
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

2.9 A

Explanation:

L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

B = 0.19 T

m = 9 g = 0.009 kg

Let the minimum current be i.

Magnetic force is balanced by the gravitational force

B x i x L = m x g

0.19 x i x 0.16 = 0.009 x 9.8

i = 2.9 A

A force of 40N is applied to a 28 g mass, what is the acceleration? (round to the hundredths place)
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

1428.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied on the body  = 40N

Mass of the body  = 28g

                    1000g  = 1kg

                      28g will therefore be 0.028kg

Unknown:

Acceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression derived from Newton's second law of motion.

         Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the parameters and solve;

            40  = 0.028 x acceleration

           Acceleration  = \frac{40}{0.028}   = 1428.6m/s²

Compare and contrast speed and velocity.​
vlabodo [156]

Speed is the time rate of an object moving from one place to another, while velocity is the rate and direction of the object's movement. They are very similar but they don't mean the same thing.
