Two resistors, A and B, are connected in a series circuit with a battery. The resistance of A is twice that of B. Which resistor

dissipates more power
Physics

IgorC [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A dissipates more power.

Explanation:

  • In a series circuit, the current is the same at any point in it.
  • The power dissipated in any resistor follows Joule's law, as follows:

        P = I^{2} * R

  • So, for a given current, the power is directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
  • In this case, as resistor A has twice the resistance of resistor B, A dissipates twice more power than B.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

s=5.79\ km

\theta=47^{\circ} east of south

Explanation:

Given:

  • distance of the person form the initial position, d'=8.4\ km
  • direction of the person from the initial position, 47^{\circ} north of east
  • distance supposed to travel form the initial position, d=5.3\ km
  • direction supposed to travel from the initial position, due North

<u>Now refer the schematic for visualization of situation:</u>

y=d'.\sin47^{\circ}-d

y=8.4\times \sin47-5.3 ...............(1)

x=d'.\cos47^{\circ}

x=8.4\times \cos47^{\circ} .................(2)

<u>Now the direction of the desired position with respect to south:</u>

\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}

\tan\theta=\frac{8.4\times \sin47}{8.4\times \cos47}

\theta=47^{\circ} east of south

<u>Now the distance from the current position to the desired position:</u>

s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

s=\sqrt{(8.4\times \cos47)^2+(8.4\times \sin47-5.3)^2}

s=5.79\ km

Suppose an object’s initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 4 m/s. Mass is constant.
Ostrovityanka [42]

The correct answer is:

Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.

In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy \Delta K is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.

#1 What materials is each part of the flashlight made of? (A flashlight will include wires,a light bulb,a lens, a reflector ,and
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Explanation:

Question 1

1.The wires are made of conducting materials e.g copper

2. A light bulb is made of filament material e.g tungsten with gases enclosed in a glass material

3.The lens is made of transparent glass material

4 The reflector is made of plastic with silver lining

5. The exterior casing of most flash lights are made of plastic

Question 2.

1.Copper is used to conduct electric current from the battery to the bulb

2.The tungsten filament ignite the gases and causes it to glow

3. The lens covers the lamp on your flashlight so that the glass on the lamp

/bulbs does not get broken.

4.The reflector redirects the light rays from the lamp, creating a steady beam of light, which is the light you see emitting from the flashlight.

5. The exterior cases houses the entire assembly and makes the flash light handy for use

What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2m/s
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h2>14.52 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 7.26 \times  {2}^{2}  \\  = 2 \times 7.26

We have the final answer as

<h3>14.52 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
