Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.

1 answer:

7 0

The equivalent resistance of three resistors in series is given by the sum of the resistances:
$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3$
In this circuit, the value of the three resistances is:
$R_1=3 \Omega$
$R_2=4 \Omega$
$R_3=5 \Omega$
Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is:
$R_{eq}=3 \Omega+4 \Omega + 5 \Omega =12 \Omega$

A child bounces a 52 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 20 m/s downward to 14 m/s upward.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Force on superball will be $=9.8222\times 10^{-4}N$

Explanation:

We have given mass of superball m = 52 gram = 0.052 kg

Velocity change from 20 m/sec downward to 14 m/sec upward

Let downward velocity is positive then upward velocity is negative

So downward velocity is + 20 m/sec and upward velocity is -14 m/sec

Time is given as 1800 sec

We know that acceleration is rate of change of velocity

So $a=\frac{20-(-14)}{1800}=0.0188m/sec^2$

According to newton second law

Force = ma = 0.052×0.0188 $=9.8222\times 10^{-4}N$

The intensity at distance from a spherically symmetric sound source is 100 W/m2. What is the intensity at five times this distan

ss7ja [257]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

The area of a sphere is given by

$A = 4\pi r^2$

So replacing we have to

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

$r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}$

So considering the two intensities we have to

$I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}$

$I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}$

The ratio between the two intensities would be

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}$

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

$\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2$

Re-arrange to find $I_2$

$I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2$

$I_2 = 4W/m^2$

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is $4W/m^2$

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

How does mass and material type effect thermal energy transfer

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The mass contributes with the time of thermal energy transfer with respect to the material type but most importantly the material type will determine rate at which the material absorbs the transfer of heat or thermal energy by either three types, conduction, convection and radiation.
