A voltmeter is the instrument used to measure a potential difference between two points in an electric circuit

The potential difference between two points in a circuit is
sometimes called the 'voltage' because its unit of measure
is the volt. This is a big part of the reason why a voltmeter
is the device that's used to measure it.

A student sits on a pivoted stool while holding a pair of weights. The stool is free to rotate about a vertical axis with neglig

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Please Mark As Brainliest!!

a) 4.99 rad/sec b) 6.24 rad/sec c) 7.03 J

Explanation:

a) If the student completes one turn in 1.26 sec, this is called the period of the movement.

If we take into account that the angle rotated during one turn is 2π rads, by definition of angular velocity, we can get this value as follows:

ω = Δθ / Δt = 2*π rad / 1.26 seg = 4.99 rad/sec.

b) As no external torques are acting on the system, the total angular momentum must be conserved, so we can write the following equation:

Li = Lf ⇒ I₁ * ω₁ = I₂* ω₂

So, we can solve for ω₂, as follows:

ω₂ = (I₁ * ω₁) / I₂ = 6.24 rad/sec

c) Appying the work-energy theorem, we know that the work done by the student, must be equal to the change in the kinetic energy, which in this case is only rotational, so we can write:

W = 1/2 I₂* ω₂² - 1/2 I₁ ω₁²

W =1/2 ((2.25 kg.m² * (6.24)²) (rad/sec)² - (1.8 kg.m²* (4.99)²) (rad/sec)²)

W = 7.03 J

A 20 N unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. What is the mass of the object?

Ket [755]

Answer:

Force = 20N

acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of object (m) = ?

From Newtons II law

F = m. a N

m = F/a

m = 20/1.5

m = 13.34 Kg

Mass of an object is 13.34 Kg

The average power dissipated in a 47 ω resistor is 2.0 w. what is the peak value i 0 of the ac current in the resistor?

pishuonlain [190]

The average dissipated power in a resistor in a ac circuit is:
$P=I_{rms}^2 R$
where R is the resistance, and $I_{rms}$ is the root mean square current, defined as
$I_{rms} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}$
where $I_0$ is the peak value of the current. Substituting the second formula into the first one, we find
$P=( \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2} } )^2 R = \frac{1}{2} I_0^2 R$
and if we re-arrange this formula and use the data of the problem, we can find the value of the peak current I0:
$I_0 = \sqrt{ \frac{2 P}{R} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.0 W}{47 \Omega} }=0.29 A$
