Answer:

A. There are multiple paths that electrons can take through the circuit, and it is possible for the electron to pass through one circuit component but not another.

Explanation:

Parallel arrangement of components in an electric circuit puts different parts of the circuit on different branches. In a parallel connection, there are multiple paths for the electrons to take, and it is possible for electrons to pass through on circuit component without going through another. This is the reason why If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, electrons can still flow in other branches, and the same reason why one bulb going off in your home does prevent the other components in your home from coming on (your home is wired in a parallel electric circuit).

1. A 25.35-g piece of iron absorbs 1562.75 Joules of heat energy, and its temperature

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Q = C M T where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change

Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules

1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal

C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)

C = .096 cal / g deg C

Find the ratio of the new/old periods of a pendulum if the pendulum were transported from earth to the moon, where the accelerat

vichka [17]

The period of a pendulum is given by
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }$
where L is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational acceleration.

We can write down the ratio between the period of the pendulum on the Moon and on Earth by using this formula, and we find:
$\frac{T_m}{T_e} = \frac{2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_m} } }{2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_e} } }= \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }$
where the labels m and e refer to "Moon" and "Earth".

Since the gravitational acceleration on Earth is $g_e = 9.81 m/s^2$ while on the Moon is $g_m=1.63 m/s^2$ , the ratio between the period on the Moon and on Earth is
$\frac{T_m}{T_e}= \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{9.81 m/s^2}{1.63 m/s^2} }=2.45$

Why do you see colors when you look at reflected light from a cd

Nady [450]

The colors that you see on the CD are created by white light reflecting from ridges in the metal. When light reflects off or passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, you often get rainbow colors and interesting patterns. They are called interference patterns.
