Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: $\frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}$

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

Which of the following circuits can be used to measure the resistance of the heating element, shown as a resistor in the diagram

Wewaii [24]

In order to measure the resistance in the circuit, we need to know the voltage V and the current I in the circuit, this way we can calculate the resistance using the formula:

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

In order to calculate the current, we can use an amperemeter that must be in series with the circuit, this way it will not affect the circuit.

And in order to calculate the voltage, we can use a voltmeter that must be in parallel with the resistance, this way it will not affect the circuit.

The correct option that shows an amperemeter in series and a voltmeter in parallel is the fourth option.

Our eyes are typically 6 cm apart. Suppose you are somewhat unique, and yours are 7.50 cm apart. You see an object jump from sid

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Distance of the object from eye is approx 4.52 m

Explanation:

As we know that the object subtend a small angle on both the eyes which is given as

$\theta = 0.995 degree$

now we know that the distance between two eyes is given as

d = 7.50 cm

so we have

$angle = \frac{arc}{Radius}$

so here the radius is same as the distance from eye while arc is the distance between two eyes

so we have

$0.95 \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{7.50}{R}$

$R = 452 cm$

Consider a roller coaster begins 15m above the ground. If the cart has a mass of 75kg, what is the velocity of the cart halfway

SashulF [63]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg

The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.

We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 7.5} \\\\v=12.12\ m/s$
