As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the power sourceA) increases.B) decreases.C) stays the same.

1 answer:

8 0

As more and more lamps are connected in parallel (and if the current does not produce heating inside the battery) their brightness stays the same. Each lamp has the same voltage across it. Each lamp added in parallel decreases the total resistance in the circuit, so additional current flows.

Answer:

a) The net force acting on the sleigh is zero because it is moving at a constant speed.

b) $F_{fr}= \mu mg = F_{pull}$ , then $\mu = \frac{F_{pull}}{mg} = 0.0557$ .

In the following figure, if AB ǁ CD, then find the measure of PCD and CPD.

mina [271]

Answer:

$CPD = 80$

$PCD = 44$

Explanation:

Given

$AB || CD$

$BAD = 56$

$CPA = 100$

See attachment

Required

Determine PCD and CPD

First, we need to calculate CPD

Since DPA is a straight line and CPA = 100;

We have that:

$CPA + CPD = 180$ --- angle on a straight theorem

Substitute 100 for CPA

$100 + CPD = 180$

Subtract 100 from both sides

$100-100 + CPD = 180-100$

$CPD = 80$

Next, we calculate PCD

We have that:

$DAB= ADC = 56$ --alternate angle

In triangle PCD

$PCD + CPD + PDC = 180$ --- angles in a triangle

Where

$PDC = ADC = 56$

So, we have:

$PCD +80 + 56 = 180$

$PCD +136 = 180$

Subtract 136 from both sides

$PCD = 180 - 136$

$PCD = 44$

Find the gravitational potential energy of an 84 kg person standing atop Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m. Use sea level as

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$E=7.28\times 10^6\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a person, m = 84 kg

The person is standing at a top of Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It is given by :

E = mgh, g is the acceleration due to gravity

$E=84\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 8848\ m\\\\E=7283673.6\ J\\\\E=7.28\times 10^6\ J$
