Why does a car burn more gasoline traveling in a city than it does traveling on an interstate?

Because on the interstate the car is constantly moving, where as during the city the car is constantly stopping and going, it takes more gas to make the car move from a complete stop than it does to keep the car moving while it’s already in motion.

Answer:

because on an interstate or freeway, the car is cruising at a constant speed, without speeding up, slowing down, stopping, or turning constantly. In a city, cars constantly have to stop, slow down, speed up, which burns more gas in a shorter period of time

For part 2 I was told that The circuit below will accommodate up to three resistors in series. Explore the circuit. It is a seri

Amiraneli [1.4K]

(a) Draw the circuit diagram for the three resistors in series that you assembled in Part 2. Label the voltage and the resistances of each resistor

The diagram will look like the following:

As all the resistors are equal, their voltage drop will also be equal, which will be a third of the input voltage

(b) For the three resistors in series, how did the measured total voltage, current across each resistor, total current, and voltage drop across each resistor compare to the values that you calculated?

The value of the measured voltage on each resistor can be seen as to be exactly as calculated, which is 1/3 of the voltage input. The total current can be calculated as:

$I=\frac{V}{R+R+R}=\frac{15}{3*3}=\frac{15}{9}\approx1.7A$

Which is the one seen on the amperimeter

(c) How did the equivalent resistance, voltage drop across each resistor, total current, and total voltage change as you added resistors in series to the circuit?

The voltage drop on each resistor will decrease once you add more resistors, as there will be more total resistance, and thus less current. As the resistance of each resistor is constant, the relation V=RI given by Ohm's law will be reduced.

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or $\lambda=20.0cm$
