Answer:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Explanation:

The 4 wires are connected in series: this means that the same current flow through them, and the voltage of the battery, V0, is equal to the sum of the voltages on each individual resistor:

V_0=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4

Also, the equivalent resistance of the series circuit is

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

The voltage V2 across wire 2 is given by Ohm's law:

V_2 = R_2 I (1)

where I is the total current in the circuit, which is given by:

I=\frac{V_0}{R_{eq}}=\frac{V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

Substituting this into eq. (1), we find an expression for V2:

V_2 = \frac{R_2 V_0}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4}

borishaifa [10]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.

From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Where,

c = Speed of light (vacuum)

f = frequency

Our values are,

f = 2Hz

c = 3*10^8km/s

Replacing we have,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3*10^8km/s}{2Hz}

\lambda = 1.5*10^8m

<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is 1.5*10^{8}m</em>

A materials density is the same , no matter how large or small the sample is or what it’s shape is as long as it is solid unifor
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume, i.e. the following equation can be used:

density = m/v

where:

density [kg/m^3]

m = mass [kg]

v = volume [m^3]

If we change the volume of a body by reducing its size, its mass will also decrease proportionally with a density as seen in the equation.

m = density*v

To understand this concept more clearly, let's use the following example:

We know that the density of water is equal to 1000 [kg/m^3], that is, 1 cubic meter of water contains 1000 kilograms of water, using the equation.

1000 = m /1

m = 1000*1 = 1000 [kg]

Now if we have 500 kilograms of water, that would pass with the volume so that the density remains constant.

1000 = 500/v

v = 500/1000

v = 0.5 [m^3]

We can see that the volume of water has halved. Since the mass of water was reduced by half. That is, the relationship between mass and volume is proportional to the density of the material or substance.

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.
