Three resistors connected in series have potential differences across them labeled /\V1 , /\V2 , and /\V3. What expresses the po

Answer:

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Explanation:

We are given that three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series.

Let

Potential difference across R_1=\Delta V_1

Potential difference across R_2=\Delta V_2

Potential difference across R_3=\Delta V_3

We know that in series  combination

Potential difference ,V=V_1+V_2+V_3

Using the formula

\Delta V=\Delta V_1+\Delta V_2+\Delta V_3

Hence, this is required expression for potential difference.

In which part of the ear is the sound wave converted into an electrical impulse?
user100 [1]
The Cochlea is filled with a fluid that moves in response to the vibrations from the oval window. As the fluid moves, 25,000 nerve endings are set into motion. These nerve endings transform the vibrations into electrical impulses that then travel along the eighth cranial nerve (auditory nerve) to the brain.

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.

A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours. against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance. Fin
MatroZZZ [7]
<h2>Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.</h2>

Explanation:

Let speed of motor boat be m and speed of current be c.

A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours.

   Distance = 160 km

   Time = 4 hours

    Speed = m + c

   We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

            160 = (m+c) x 4

            m + c = 40     --------------------- eqn 1

Against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance.

   Distance = 160 km

   Time = 5 hours

    Speed = m - c

   We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

            160 = (m-c) x 5

            m - c = 32     --------------------- eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

           2m = 40 + 32

             m = 36 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

               36 + c = 40

                      c = 4 km/hr

Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.
