You measured the voltage across the battery terminals both for the circuit connected to the battery and for no circuit connected

to the battery. The difference between these two readings is due to internal resistance of the battery holder. Determine the internal resistance of the battery holder treating this resistance as being in series with the equivalent resistance of the circuit when the circuit is connected.

Answer:

Ri=\frac{Vs}{I} - R

Explanation:

The measure of the voltage across the battery for no circuit connected to the baterry is the voltage of the ideal voltage source (without internal resistance) because there isn't current flowing therefore the voltage of the internal resistance is zero.

Let Vs represent the open-circuit voltage.

The measure of the voltage across the battery terminals for the circuit connected to the baterry is the voltage of the connected resistance (Let R represent it)

Let Vr represent the connected circuit voltage.

Let Ri represent the internal resistance.

Applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law for the circuit connected to the batery:

Vs=Vi+Vr (I)

where Vi is the voltage of the internal resistance and Vr is the voltage of the load (R)

The voltage of the load is:

Vr=IR

You can obtain the value of the current I because Vr and R are known.

I=Vr/R

Which is the same current across the internal resistance because the connection is in series.

The equation (I) can be written as:

Vs=I(Ri+R)

Therefore you can solve it for Ri, because Vs, I and R are known.

Dividing by I and subtracting R:

Ri = Vs/I - R

Which chemical reaction shows photosynthesis
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as a chemical process in which plants tend to make their own food in the presence of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

During this process, product formed by the plants is glucose and oxygen.

The chemical reaction equation for photosynthesis is as follows.

      6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O + \text{Sunlight} \rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2}

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options the correct equation is as follows.

              \text{water + carbon dioxide + sunlight} \rightarrow \text{oxygen + glucose}

Can a body have mass but no weight give reasion for your answer​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

Yes, weight of a body is not constant, it varies with the value of acceleration due to gravity, g. Weight of a body is zero, when it is taken to the centre of the earth or in the interplanetary space, where g=0. Mass is the total matter in a body, while weight is the force by which the body is attracted.

Weight is never constant while mass is. So we can have weight zero but with some mass. This will happen when an object is at the centre of earth, as g=0 at centre of earth , so weight will be 0 while mass will always be constant everywhere

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

A 4.00 kg stone is dropped from a height of 145 m. What is the stone’s potential and kinetic energy respectively when it is 50.0
Lorico [155]

Answer:

C - 3,720 J, 1,950 J

Explanation:

Hello

Epotential = M*G*H

Ep = (4)(9.8)(145-50)

Ep = 3729 J

Then

Ec = 1950 J
