1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].
2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].
3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].
4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is:
We can plug in the given values into the equation:
Answer:
a = 0.45 m/s²
Explanation:
The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".
Given that,
Force, F = 40 N
Mass of the body, m = 88 kg
The net force acting on the body is given by :
F = ma
Where
a is the acceleration of the body
So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².
Answer:
Changes of state are physical changes in matter. They are reversible changes that do not change matter's chemical makeup or chemical properties. For example, when fog changes to water vapor, it is still water and can change back to liquid water again.
