Strictly speaking, will a penny be slightly more massive if it has a negative charge or a positive charge? discuss.

1 answer:

5 0

A negatively charged penny is one with extra electrons, which would increase its mass ever so slightly compared to a positively charged penny, or one with a lack of electrons.

What is the equivalent resistance of the

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Approximately $111\; {\rm \Omega}$ .

Explanation:

It is given that $R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega}$ and $R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}$ are connected in a circuit in parallel.

Assume that this circuit is powered with a direct current power supply of voltage $V$ .

Since $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are connected in parallel, the voltage across the two resistors would both be $V$ . Thus, the current going through the two resistors would be $(V / R_{1})$ and $(V / R_{2})$ , respectively.

Also because the two resistors are connected in parallel, the total current in this circuit would be the sum of the current in each resistor: $I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})$ .

In other words, if the voltage across this circuit is $V$ , the total current in this circuit would be $I = (V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})$ . The (equivalent) resistance $R$ of this circuit would be:

$\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{V}{I} \\ &= \frac{V}{(V / R_{1}) + (V / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Given that $R_{1} = 200\; {\Omega}$ and $R_{2} = 250\; {\Omega}$ :

$\begin{aligned} R &= \frac{1}{(1/R_{1}) + (1 / R_{2})} \\ &= \frac{1}{(1/(200\: {\rm \Omega})) + (1/(250\; {\rm \Omega}))} \\ &\approx 111\; {\rm \Omega}\end{aligned}$ .

If an object suspended by a scale shows a weight of 3 N in air, and 2 N when submerged in water, the buoyant force on the submer

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

Buoyant Force: This is also called upthrust, It can be defined as the force which act upward exerted by a fluid when an object is placed in it.

The S.I unit is Newton.

From the question,

Buoyant force = Weight of the object in air- weight of the object when submerged in water.

U = W-W'.......................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W = weight in air, W' = weight when submerged in water.

Given: W = 3 N, W' = 2 N

Substitute into equation 1

U = 3-2

W = 1 N

cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.

Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.

The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase dista

mash [69]

Answer:

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .
