A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 2.2 A. The current is reduced to 1.6 A when an additional 2.8 Ω resistor

is added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? Assume the internal resistance of the source of emf is zero. Answer in units of Ω

Answer:

Value of R_1 is 7.466 ohm

Explanation:

Let emf of the battery is e

In first case when only R_1 is there current through battery is 2.2 A

So 2.2=\frac{e}{R_1}

e=2.2R_1......eqn 1

In second case current is reduced to 1.6 A when additional resistance of 2.8 ohm is added in series

So 1.6=\frac{e}{R_1+2.8}

e=1.6R_1+4.48....eqn 2

Fro eqn 1 and eqn 2

2.2R_1=1.6R_1+4.48

0.6R_1=4.48

R_1=7.466ohm

So value of R_1 is 7.466 ohm

A toy cart at the end of a string 0.70 m long moves in a circle on a table. The cart has a mass of 2.0 kg and the string has a b
luda_lava [24]
Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a 
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²

A horizontal spring is attached to the wall on one end and to a mass on the other end. The mass can slide freely on a frictionle
Radda [10]

Answer:

a) x=0  %T=0,   b) x= A %T=100%,   c) x=-A %T=50%

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic movement exercise, which is explained by the expression

          x = A cos (wt + Ф)

where angular velocity is related to frequency and period

         w = 2π f = 2π / T

we can write the equation of the oscillation

         x = A cos θ

When seeing the two equations they are equivalent, so what happens with the angle will also happen with time

We are asked for the percentage of the period at three points: at the maximum elongation and at the point of x = 0, in general the distance is measured from the point of the spring without stretching

The period is defined as the time that the system takes to give a complete oscillation, that is, from x = 0 to x = A and return

a) for the unstretched spring point x = 0

In general, both distance and time are measured from this point, so the percentage of time is zero.

         % T = 0

b) for x = A

 let's find the angle

      cos tea = x / A = 1

therefore the angles tea = 2π rad

when the movement reaches the point of 2π radians it begins to repeat so the period is complete

            % T = 100%

c) the point of maximum compression x = -A

let's look for the angles

      cos tea = x / A = -1

therefore the angles tea = π rad

at this point the movement is halfway so it should take half the time

                % T = 50%

2. A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal
Aleksandr [31]

Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels <em>x</em> after time <em>t</em> horizontally is

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) <em>t</em>

The object's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

<em>y</em> = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>gt</em>

(a) The object hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 1.92 s

at which time the object's vertical velocity is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s

(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.

(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of

<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom
ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure
