Technician A says that in a series circuit the total resistance of the circuit is the sum of all the individual resistances with

in the circuit. Technician B says that in a series circuit the sum of the voltage drops across each resistance will always equal the source voltage. Who is correct?

Answer:

Both technicians are correct

Explanation:

Because we are talking about a series circuit, both technicians are correct.

  • <u>The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of each of all the individual resistances that make up the series circuit</u>, just as technician A says.
  • And similarly <u>when adding the voltage in each of the resistences or components of the series circuit it should be equal to the source voltage</u>, the voltage supplied to the circuit, which is what Technician B says.

For these reasons the answer is that both A and B are correct.

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

Q = ms \Delta T

Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)

Q = 1*s*230

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

Q = ms'\Delta T

1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T

now we have

\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>

No spacecraft has been built yet that was able to absorb harmful
radiations in space, change weather conditions on Earth, or destroy
meteors and comets which might strike Earth.

We should continue to send robotic spacecrafts into space
because they help discard some myths about objects in space. 
In other words, they help us learn things that we never knew before.

8. If horizontal velocity is 5 m/s, and vertical velocity is 8 m/s, what is the
zhenek [66]

Answer:

9.4

Explanation:

magnitude is the sum of the squares.

\sqrt{5^2+8^2} =9.4339\\

If you are given horizontal and vertical components, treat those as the rise and run of a triangle, the rise of 8 with a run of 5 and you want to find the hypotenuse.

How do you find the long side of a triangle?

Why are vectors important in physics?
quester [9]
They are quantities with magnitude and direction like velocity, we'd be doomed without them to be honest , just knowing how fast something is going isn't enough, you want to know where it is going

Your new motorcycle weighs 2450 N.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The negative only matters reallly if you are dealing with a 2d system. I could even define down as positive and up as negative. However, usually you are taught that down is negative. It really doesn't matter because a force is a force. It is only given a direction relative to another force or vector direction.
