Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω , V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance

$R_{eq}$ = ∑ $R_{i}$

* For resistance in parallel

1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

R_B = Rb + R4

R_B = 2 + 18

R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

R_C5 = Rc + R5

R_C5 = 3 + 12

R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

R_total = R_A + R_BC

R_total = 6 + 8.57

R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

10 = V_a + V_BC

10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (14.57)

i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

V_BC = i R_BC

V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

Branch C

V_BC = i R_C5

i = V_BC / R_C5

i = 5.8819 / 15

i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

V_C = i R_C

V_C = 0.39213 3

V_C = 1.176 V

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.

If a steady-state heat transfer rate of 3 kW is conducted through a section of insulating material 1.0 m2 in cross section and 2

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$\Delta T = \frac{3000 W *0.025 m}{1 m^2 (0.2 \frac{W}{mK})}= 375 K$

So then the difference of temperature across the material would be $\Delta T = 375 K$

Explanation:

For this case we can use the Fourier Law of heat conduction given by the following equation:

$Q = -kA \frac{\Delta T}{\Delta x}$ (1)

Where k = thermal conductivity = 0.2 W/ mK

A= 1m^2 represent the cross sectional area

Q= 3KW represent the rate of heat transfer

$\Delta T$ is the temperature of difference that we want to find

$\Delta x=2.5 cm =0.025 m$ represent the thickness of the material

If we solve $\Delta T$ in absolute value from the equation (1) we got:

$\Delta T =\frac{Q \Delta x}{Ak}$

First we convert 3KW to W and we got:

$Q= 3 KW* \frac{1000W}{1 Kw}= 3000 W$

And we have everything to replace and we got:

$\Delta T = \frac{3000 W *0.025 m}{1 m^2 (0.2 \frac{W}{mK})}= 375 K$

So then the difference of temperature across the material would be $\Delta T = 375 K$

When talking about the speeds of atoms in a gas you must refer to the average speed because

cluponka [151]

Answer:

An Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average.

Explanation:

In a gas a single atoms does an assortment of things during its time in the gas—sometimes it collides with an other atom gaining a lot of speed, sometimes losing a lot of speed in the collision, and sometimes just moving freely. Therefore: the motion of one individual atom is unpredictable, and it cannot be representative of all the the atoms in a gas, which is why we must average over all speeds of all atoms to find an average speed that allows us to calculate other quantities like temperature and pressure of the gas.

Hence, the second option <em>"an Atom's individual speed will change as it collides with other atoms, so we have to use an average" </em>stands correct.
