Answer: C. causes thermal energy

Explanation: Resistance in wires basically creates obstruction in the path of the current flow.

This obstruction results in a collision for the charge carrying electrons. This collision thus converts the kinetic energy of the electrons into thermal energy in the form of heat.

Resistance reduces the amount of current flowing through a conductor and hence less current means less power resulting in loss of brightness.

In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. The head of water on the meter wh

Answer:

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

$Q=C_d\frac{A_1A_2}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}\sqrt{2gh}$

Where,

$C_d$ is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.1^2 = 7.85\times 10^{-3}m^2$

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ = $\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2 = 1.96\times 10^{-3}m^2$

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

$Q=0.97\frac{7.85\times 10^{-3}\times 1.96\times 10^{-3}}{\sqrt{7.85\times 10^{-3}^2-1.96\times 10^{-3}^2}}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.3}$

$Q=\frac{0.97\times15.42\times 10^{-6}\times 14.88}{7.605\times 10^{-3}}$

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

En un rio una Onda viaja con una velocidad de propagación de 50 m/s con una longitud de Onda de 40 metros. Hallar la frecuencia

sattari [20]

Answer:

Frequencia = 1.25 Hz

Explanation:

<u>Dados los siguientes datos;</u>

Velocidad = 50 m/s
Longitud de onda = 40 metros

Para encontrar la frecuencia de la onda;

Matemáticamente, la velocidad de una onda viene dada por la fórmula;

$Velocidad = Longitud \; de \; onda * Frequencia$

Haciendo de la frecuencia el tema de la fórmula, tenemos;

$Frequencia = \frac {Velocidad}{Longitud \; de \; onda}$

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

$Frequencia = \frac {50}{40}$

<em>Frequencia = 1.25 Hz</em>

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is $8.90g/cm^3$

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = $14.7cm^3$ $1cm^3=1ml$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3$

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is $8.90g/cm^3$

Two rocks of different masses are rolling down a hill at the same speed. Which rock (small one or big one) would have more kinet

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the rock is given by,

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

As velocity of both the rocks are same. Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the rock

Kinetic energy ∝ mass

So, For greater mass kinetic energy will be greater and for smaller mass kinetic energy will be smaller.

Hence, Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.
