1) draw a simple circuit with a voltage source and four resistors wired in series

Physics

Answer:

1)

In this circuit (see attachment #1), we have:

- A voltage source: in this case, we choose a battery. A voltage source is a device producing an electromotive force (in a battery, this is done by means of a chemical reaction), which is responsible for "pushing" the electrons along the circuit and creating a current. The electromotive force (emf) of the battery is also called voltage, and it is indicated with the letter V.

- Four resistors: a resistor is a device which opposes to the flow of current. The property that describes by "how much" the resistor "opposes" to the flow of current is called "resistance", and it is indicated with the letter R.

- In this circuit, the 4 resistors are in series. Resistors are said to be in series when they are connected along the same branch of the circuit, so that the same current flow across each of them.

- For resistors in series, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

R=R_1+R_2+...+R_n

2)

In this circuit (see attachment #2), we have:

- A voltage source: as before, we have chosen a battery, providing an electromotive  force to the circuit

- Three resistors wired in parallel. Resistors are said to be connected in parallel when they are connected along different branches, but with their terminals connected to the same point, so that each of them has the same potential difference across it.

- For resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is calculated using the formula:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

3)

In this circuit (see attachment #3), we have:

- A voltage source (again, we have choosen a battery)

- Three resistors, of which:

-- 2 of them are connected in parallel with each other

-- the 3rd one it is in series with the first two

If we call R_1,R_2 the resistances of the first 2 resistors in parallel, their equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{12}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\rightarrow R_{12}=\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}

Then, these two resistors are connected in series with resistor R_3; and so, the total resistance of this circuit will be:

R=R_{12}+R_3=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}+R_3=\frac{R_1R_2+R_3(R_1+R_2)}{R_1+R_2}

4)

In this circuit (see attachment #4), we have:

- A voltage source (again, a battery)

- We have 6 resistors, which are arranged as follows:

-- Two branches each containing 3 resistors

-- The two branches are in parallel with each other

So, the total resistance of the two branches are:

R_{123}=R_1+R_2+R_3

R_{456}=R_4+R_5+R_6

And since the two branches are in parallel, their total resistance will be:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{123}}+\frac{1}{R_{456}}\\\rightarrow R=\frac{R_{123}R_{456}}{R_{123}+R_{456}}=\frac{(R_1+R_2+R_3)(R_4+R_5+R_6)}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4+R_5+R_6}

A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the united nations building.
BaLLatris [955]
The period of one full swing depends on the length of the pendulum and on gravity. The period of each full swing would be longer on the moon, with less gravity.

The rotation of the plane of the swings doesn't depend on the length of the string OR on gravity. It only depends on the latitude of the place where the pendulum hangs, and the rotation period of the body it's located on.

On Earth, it's (24 hours)/(sine of latitude).

On the moon, it would be (27.32 days)/(sine of latitude).

A space vehicle is traveling at 5425 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor (mass 4m) is disengaged and sent
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

V_{cE}=1489m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Space vehicle speed=5425 km/h relative to earth

The rocket motor speed=81 km/h  and mass 4m

The command has mass m

From the conservation of momentum as the system isolated

p_{i}=p_{f}\\

Since the motion in on direction we can drop the unit vector direction

MV_{i}=4mV_{mE}+mV_{CE}

Where M is the mass of space vehicle which equals to sum of the motors mass and command mass.

The velocity of the motor relative to the earth equals the velocity of the motor relative to command plus the velocity of the command relative to earth

V_{mE}=V_{mc}+V_{cE}

Where Vmc is the velocity of motor relative to command

This yields

5mV_{i}=4m(V_{mc}+V_{cE})+mV_{cE}\\5V_{i}=4V_{mc}+5V_{cE}

Substitute the given values

V_{cE}=\frac{5V_{i}-4V_{mc}}{5}\\ V_{cE}=5425*\frac{1000}{60*60}(m/s)-\frac{4}{5}*81\frac{1000}{60*60}(m/s)\\  V_{cE}=1489m/s
