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

Physics

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago

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}

Along the remote Racetrack Playa in Death valley, California, stones sometimes gouge out prominent trails in the desert floor, a
REY [17]

Answer:

   F = 196 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law,  we define a reference system with the x axis in the direction of movement of the stones and the y axis vertically

Y axis  

       N- W = 0

       N = mg

X axis

       F -fr = ma

In this case, they ask us for the force to keep moving, so the stones go at constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero.

       F- fr = 0

       F = fr

the friction force has the equation

       fr = μ N

       fr = μ mg

we substitute

        F = μ mg

let's calculate

         F = 0.80 9.8 25

         F = 196 N

A block of a plastic material floats in water with 42.9% of its volume under water. What is the density of the block in kg/m3?
adell [148]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3
