Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

f=140\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the object on a horizontal surface, m=50\ kg
  • coefficient of static friction, \mu_s=0.3
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.2
  • horizontal force on the object, F=140\ N

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

F_s=\mu_s.N

where:

N= normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)

F_s=147\ N

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

f=140\ N
