Answer:

Hi,

The correct answer option is; D. Most of the current will flow through one part of the circuit.

Explanation:

A short circuit is a low resistance path in an electric connection between two conductors supplying current in a circuit.

It happens when excess amounts of current flow in the power source through a 'short path'.

Short circuits occur at very high temperatures which is of course caused by the heat produced during dissipation.

An example of application of short circuit is arc welding, where heating is achieved through short circuit.

Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda

y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}

y=1.3\ m

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Two iron bolts of equal Mass one at a hundred see another at 55 Sierra place in the insulated cylinder assuming the heat capacit
malfutka [58]

Answer:

T_2 = 77.5c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first boltsT_1=100

Temp of 2nd bolt T_2=55

Generally the equation showing the relationship between  heat & temperature is given by

  q=cm \triangle T

Generally heat released  by the iron bolt  = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

     -(0.45*m* (T_2-100  \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)

     -(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)

      T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c

      T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}

      T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c

Therefore T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c is the final temperature inside the container

If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceler
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

a 100g ice cube at 0 degrees celsius is placed in 650 grams of water at 25 degrees celsius. When the mixture reaches equillibriu
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The latent heat of fusion of water is 334.88 Joules per gram of water.

Explanation:

Let the latent heat of ice be 'x' J/g

1) Thus heat absorbed by 100 gram of ice to get converted into water equals

Q_1=100\times x

2) heat energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 25 degree Celsius equals

Q_2=100\times 4.186\times 11=4604.6Joules

Thus total energy needed equals Q_1+Q_2=100x+4604.6

3) Heat energy released by the decrease in the temperature of water from 25 to 11 degree Celsius is

Q_3=650\times 4.186\times (25-11)\\\\Q_{3}=38092.6Joules

Now by conservation of energy we have

Q_1+Q_2=Q_3\\\\100x+4604.6=38092.6\\\\\therefore x=\frac{38092.6-4604.6}{100}=334.88J/g

Consider a balloon of mass 0.030kg being inflated with a gas of density 0.54kg/m. What will be the volume of the balloon when it
Nonamiya [84]

the weight of the balloon is .030 * 10 = 0.3 N

the weight of the gas of volume v is 0.54*10 N

The lifting force of a volume of v m³ of displaced air is 1.29v N

so, we need

1.29*10*v = 0.3 + 0.54*10*v

or

1.29v = 0.03+0.54v
