Because the scientific method can go around in a circle as many times as neccisary to get the results you need

Explain, step by step, how to calculate the amount of current (I) that will go through the resistor in this circuit

anygoal [31]

Answer:

0.03 A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

From ohm's law, the voltage, current and resistor are related by the following formula:

Voltage = current × resistor

V = IR

With the above formula, we can obtain the current in the circuit as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Resistor (R) = 470 Ω

Current (I) =?

V = IR

12 = I × 470

Divide both side by 470

I = 12 / 470

I = 0.03 A

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.03 A

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet

expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

also the PE is given as function of position as

$PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

$\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2$

$A^2 - x^2 = x^2$

$2x^2 = A^2$

$x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}$

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)$

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

$f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}$

$f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}$

$f_k = \frac{8}{9}$

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

$f_{PE} = 1 - f_k$

$f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9$

Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa

tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Ball thrown upwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

$d = 22.24 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y$

$v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)$

$v_f^2 = 567.9$

$v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

$v_{12} = v_1 - v_2$

$v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s$

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

$d = v_{12} t$

$d = 27.8 \times 0.8$

$d = 22.24 m$
