What is one disadvantage of a series circuit?

1 answer:

6 0

If one bulb goes out then all the others won't light up because electricity will be cut off. It's a disadvantage because in a parallel circuit if one bulb burns out all the others will still be on because they won't be affected. I hope I've helped you ☺

Two floors in a building are separated by 4.1 m. People move between the two floors on a set of stairs. (a) Determine the change

Ket [755]

Answer:

a) The change in potential energy of a 3.0 kilograms backpack carried up the stairs.

b) The change in potential energy of a persona with weight 650 newtons that descends the stairs is -2665 joules.

Explanation:

Let consider the bottom of the first floor in a building as the zero reference ( $z = 0\,m$ ). The change in potential energy experimented by a particle ( $\Delta U_{g}$ ), measured in joules, is:

$\Delta U_{g} = m\cdot g\cdot (z_{f}-z_{o})$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$z_{o}$ , $z_{f}$ - Initial and final height with respect to zero reference, measured in meters.

Please notice that $m\cdot g$ is the weight of the particle, measured in newtons.

a) If we know that $m = 3\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $z_{o} = 0\,m$ and $z_{f} = 4.1\,m$ , then the change in potential energy is:

$\Delta U_{g} = (3\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (4.1\,m-0\,m)$

$\Delta U_{g} = 120.626\,J$

The change in potential energy of a 3.0 kilograms backpack carried up the stairs.

b) If we know that $m\cdot g = 650\,N$ , $z_{o} = 4.1\,m$ and $z_{f} = 0\,m$ , then the change in potential energy is:

$\Delta U_{g} = (650\,N)\cdot (0\,m-4.1\,m)$

$\Delta U_{g} = -2665\,J$

The change in potential energy of a persona with weight 650 newtons that descends the stairs is -2665 joules.

A moving car has kinetic energy. If it speeds up until it is going four times faster than before, how much kinetic energy does i

Eva8 [605]

<h2>Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy , KE = 0.5mv²

Here car speeds up to four times the initial speed, we need to find ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy.

Final speed = 4 x Initial speed = 4v

Initial KE = 0.5mv²

Final KE = 0.5 x m x (4v)²

Final KE = 16 x 0.5 x m x v²

Final KE = 16 x Initial KE

Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.

A 210 Ohm resistor uses 9.28 W of

IgorLugansk [536]

Resistance=R=210Ohm
Power=9.28W=P

Current=I

$\boxed{\sf P=I^2R}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2=\dfrac{P}{R}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2=\dfrac{9.28}{210}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2\approx0.04$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\sqrt{0.04}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{100}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\dfrac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{100}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\dfrac{2}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx0.2A$

Parts of the brain

Contact [7]

Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.

Brainstem: acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.
