What causes a short circuit ?

Physics
1 answer:
Reil [10]4 years ago
6 0

When two point of a closed circuit is joined by a wire of zero resistance like if we connect the two terminals of cell by a wire of zero resistance then it is said that battery is short circuit.

similarly any two point of the circuit is said to be short circuit if the two points are connected by zero resistance wire.

so sudden large current will flow through the section which got short circuited

A ball is dropped out of a window and falls for 8.75 s. What is the ball's final velocity?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Final velocity of ball is 85.75 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem, ball is dropped from the window and it experience an acceleration due to Earth's gravity which is denoted by g.

Initially, the ball is at rest, so its initial velocity is zero. The ball takes 8.75 s to fall from the window and hits the ground.

The equation of motion for constant acceleration is :

v = u + at

Here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, t is time and a is acceleration.

In this case, u is zero and a is equal to g. So, the equation becomes :

v = gt

Substitute 8.75 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for g in the above equation.

v = 9.8 x 8.75

v = 85.75 m/s

A massless, rigid board is placed across two bathroom scales that are separated by a distance of 1.71 m. A person lies on the bo
Nata [24]

Answer:

Let the weight of the person be W and be located at a distance 'a' from the left scale as shown in the figure

Since the body is in equilibrium we can use equations of statics to analyse the problem.

Taking Sum of Moments about A we have

316\times 1.71-W\times a=0\\\\

Taking Sum of Moments about B we have

475\times 1.71-W\times (1.71-a)=0\\\\

Solving the above 2 equations for W and 'a' we get

316\times 1.71=W\times a\\\\475\times 1.71-W\times 1.71=-Wa\\\\\therefore W=\frac{316+475}{1}=791N\\\\\therefore a=\frac{316\times 1.71}{791}=0.683m

The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, 4.3 light-years away.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a) v = 2,152 10⁸ m / s   b)   t = 2.71 10⁸ s  or t =  85.93 year

Explanation:

a) In this special relativity exercise we have that time is measured in the same ship, so it is the proper time,

    v = d / t

Let's reduce the distance to the SI system

    d = 4.3 l and (9.46 1015 m / 1ly) = 40.678 10¹⁵ m

    t = 5.0 y (365 day / 1 y) (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / 1h) = 1.89 10⁸ s

Let's calculate

    v = 40.678 10¹⁵ / 1.89 10⁸

    v = 2,152 10⁸ m / s

b) The time seen from the ground for which the ship moves is given by

     t = t₀ / √ (1- (v/c)²)

Let's calculate

     t = 1.89 10⁸ / √ (1 - (2.152 / 2.998)²)

     t = 1.89 10⁸ / 0.6962

     t = 2.71 10⁸ s

Let's reduce this time to years

    t = 2.71 10⁸ s (1h / 3600s) (1day / 24h) (1 and / 365 d)

    t =  85.93 year
