he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the

values of their resistances. Unfortunately, stock is low, and all you have are R1 and R2 in parallel and in series - and you can't separate these two resistor combinations. You separately connect each resistor network to a battery with emf 57.0 V and negligible internal resistance and measure the power P supplied by the battery in both cases. For the series combination, P = 48.0 W; for the parallel combination, P = 256 W. You are told that R1>R2. Calculate R1.

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂  __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69  = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>

A car drives around a curve with radius 539 m at a speed of 32.0 m/s. The road is banked at 5.00°. The mass of the car is 1.40 ×
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

f_r = 150.47 N

Explanation:

given,

r = 539 m

v = 32 m/s

road banked at = 5°

∑ F_x

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}= N sin \theta + f_r cos \theta

∑ F_y = 0

0 = N cos \theta - f_r sin \theta - mg

N = \dfrac{f_rsin \theta + mg}{cos \theta}

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}= (\dfrac{f_rsin \theta + mg}{cos \theta})sin \theta + f_r cos \theta

              = f_r sin \theta tan \theta + mg tan \theta + f_r cos \theta

        f_r = \dfrac{\dfrac{mv^2}{r}- mg tan\theta}{sin\theta tan \theta + cos \theta}

         f_r = \dfrac{\dfrac{1.4\times 10^3 \times 32^2}{539}- 1.4\times 10^{3}\times 9.8 \times 0.087}{0.087 \times 0.087 + 0.996}

f_r = 150.47 N

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel,and a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds of its travel

20miles / 5sec = 4miles /sec would be the average speed for the last 20 m

Explanation:

The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).

The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:

v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:

d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)

t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:

v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s
