We repeat the experiment from the video, but this time we connect the wires in parallel rather than in series. Which wire will n

ow dissipate the most heat?
Both wires will dissipate the same amount of heat.
A. The Nichrome wire (resistance 2.7)
B. The copper wire (resistance 0.1)

Answer: B. The copper wire (resistance 0.1)

Explanation: When resistance is in parallel, voltage (V) is the same but current is different for every resistance. Current (i) is related to voltage and resistance (R) by <em>Ohm's Law</em>

i = \frac{V}{R}

So, since both wires are in parallel, they have the same voltage but because the copper wire resistance is smaller than Nichrome wire, the first's current will be bigger.

Every resistor in a circuit dissipates electrical power (P) that is converted into heat energy. The dissipation can be found by:

P = i^{2}*R

As current for copper wire is bigger than nichrome, power will be bigger and it will dissipate more heat.

In conclusion, the copper wire will dissipate more heat when connected in parallel.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Given that

Dry-bulb temperature(T) =24°C

Wet-bulb temperature(Tw) = 17°C

Pressure ,P = 1 atm

As we know that  psychrometric chart are drawn at constant pressure.

From the diagram

ω= specific humidity

Lets take these two lines   Dry-bulb temperature(T) line and Wet-bulb temperature(Tw) cut at point P

From chart at point P

a)

Specific humidity,ω = 0.00922 kg/kg

b)

The enthalpy ( h)

h=47.59 KJ/kg

c)

The relative humidity, RH

RH= 49.58 %

d)

Specific volume ,

v= 0.853 m³/kg

How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Since the carspeed is in km/h, we need equal units, so we will make 100.0m 0.1000km.

Then we need to find how long it takes the car to travel 0.1km

We can use the formula distance=speed * time and get

0.1=45 * time

Therefore we get .002222... hours

Multiplying this by 3600 (to get seconds, 60x60), we get 8 seconds

A 500N car is pulled up to 20m plant to a flat from 5m above the ground by an effort of 150N parallel to the plank what is the V
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

<h3>4</h3>

Explanation:

VR = Velocity ratio = Distance moved by effort/Distance moved by load

Given:

Distance moved by effort = 20m

Distance moved by Load = 5m

VR = 20/5

VR = 4

Hence the velocity ratio of the car is 4
