The role of a resistor in an electrical circuit is to hinder the movement of charge through a circuit

Explanation:

A charge is carried through a wire by current (indicated as I in physics S.I connotation). Higher current means the rate at which the charge is flowing through the wire is fast. High resistance of the wire means the charge flows with difficulty hence slower. Resistance is given by the formulae;

R = V/I whereby;

R = resistance

V = voltage

I = current

As you can observe R (resistance) is inversely proportional to I (current). Meaning the higher the resistance the lower the current.

By how much does the volume of an aluminum cube 4.00 cm on an edge increase when the cube is heated from 19.0°C to 67.0°C? The l

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The volume of an aluminum cube is 0.212 cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Edge of cube = 4.00 cm

Initial temperature = 19.0°C

Final temperature = 67.0°C

linear expansion coefficient $\alpha=23.0\times10^{-6}/C^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the volume expansion coefficient

Using formula of volume expansion coefficient

$\beta=3\alpha$

Put the value into the formula

$\beta=3\times23.0\times10^{-6}$

$\beta=0.000069=69\times10^{-6}/C^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the volume

$V= a^3$

$V=4^3$

$V=64\ cm^3$

The change temperature of the cube is

$\Delta T=T_{f}-T_{i}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta T=67-19 = 48^{\circ}C$

We need to calculate the increases volume

Using formula of increases volume

$\Delta V=V\beta\Delta T$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta V=64\times69\times10^{-6}\times48$

$\Delta V=0.212\ cm^3$

Hence, The volume of an aluminum cube is 0.212 cm³.

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a. 16 s b. -1.866 kJ

Explanation:

a. Since the initial rotational speed ω₀= 3313 rev/min = 3313/60 × 2π rad/s = 346.94 rad/s. Its rotational speed becomes ω₁ = 0.75ω₀ in time t = 4 s.

We find it rotational acceleration using α = (ω₁ - ω₀)/t = (0.75ω₀ - ω₀)/t = ω₀(0.75 - 1)/t = -0.25ω₀/t = (-0.25 × 346.94 rad/s)/4 s = -21.68 rad/s².

Since the turntable stops at ω = 0, the time it takes to stop is gotten from

ω = ω₀ + αt and t = (ω - ω₀)/α = (0 - 346.94 rad/s)/-21.68 rad/s² = (-346.94/-21.68) s = 16 s.

So it takes the turntable 16 s to stop.

b. The workdone by the turntable to stop W equals its rotational kinetic energy change.

So, W = 1/2Iω² - 1/2Iω₀² = 1/2 × 0.031 kgm² × 0² - 1/2 × 0.031 kgm² × (346.94 rad/s)² = 0 - 1865.7 J = -1865.7 J = -1.8657 kJ ≅ -1.866 kJ
