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.

Antonina throws a coin straight up from a height of

vichka [17]

Answer:

$s=vt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

We could use the following suvat equation:

$s=vt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

s is the vertical displacement of the coin

v is its final velocity, when it hits the water

t is the time

g is the acceleration of gravity

Taking upward as positive direction, in this problem we have:

s = -1.2 m

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$

And the coin reaches the water when

t = 1.3 s

Substituting these data, we can find v:

$v=\frac{s}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt=-\frac{1.2}{1.3}+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(1.3)=-7.3 m/s$

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

A real heat engine operates between temperatures TcTcT_c and ThThT_h. During a certain time, an amount QcQcQ_c of heat is releas

Nookie1986 [14]

The maximum amount of work performed is

$W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C$

Explanation:

The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$ (1)

where

$T_C$ is the temperature of the cold reservoir

$T_H$ is the temperature of the hot reservoir

However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:

$\eta = \frac{W_{max}}{Q_H}$

where

$W_{max}$ is the maximum work done

$Q_H$ is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir

$Q_H$ can be written as

$Q_H=W_{max}+Q_C$

where

$Q_C$ is the heat released to the cold reservoir

So the previous equation can be also written as

$\eta=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q_C}$ (2)

By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get

$1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=\frac{W_{max}}{W_{max}+Q}$

And re-arranging the equation and solving for $W_{max}$ , we find

$W_{max}=\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}Q_C$

An electron enters a region of uniform electric field with an initial velocity of 64 km/s in the same direction as the electric

8090 [49]

Answer:

1.) 11 km/s

2.) 9.03 × 10^-5 metres

Explanation:

Given that an electron enters a region of uniform electric field with an initial velocity of 64 km/s in the same direction as the electric field, which has magnitude E = 48 N/C.

Electron q = 1.6×10^-19 C

Electron mass = 9.11×10^-31 Kg

(a) What is the speed of the electron 1.3 ns after entering this region?

E = F/q

F = Eq

Ma = Eq

M × V/t = Eq

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

9.11×10^-31 × V/1.3×10^-9 = 48 × 1.6×10^-19

V = 7.68×10^-18 /7.0×10^-22

V = 10971.43 m/s

V = 11 Km/s approximately

(b) How far does the electron travel during the 1.3 ns interval?

The initial velocity U = 64 km/s

S = ut + 1/2at^2

S = 64000×1.3×10^-6 + 1/2 × 8.4×10^12 × ( 1.3×10^-9)^2

S =8.32×10^-5 + 7.13×10^-6

S = 9.03 × 10^-5 metres

What involves the movement of electrons in neutral objects due to the electric field produced by a charged object?

ELEN [110]

Answer: Polarization

Explanation: Polarization is the movement of electrons within a neutral object because of the electric field of a nearby charged object. It occurs without direct contact between the two objects.

For example, electrons in a metal plate can repelled by the negative charges in a plastic rod if the plastic rod is placed near the metal plate. The electrons move away from the plastic rod, thereby causing one side of the metal plate to be positively charged and the other side to become negatively charged.

A car travels at an average speed of 60 km / h for 15 minutes. How far does the car travel in 15 minutes?

salantis [7]

Answer:

15km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Average speed = 60km/hr

Time taken = 15min

Unknown:

Distance = ?

Solution:

The distance traveled can de derived using the expression below;

Distance = Average speed x time taken

Now let us convert the time to hr;

60min = 1hr

15min = $\frac{15}{60}$ = 0.25hr

Distance = 60km/hr x 0.25hr = 15km
