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 battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to
kow [346]

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

If the voltage across the first capacitor (the one with capacitance
RoseWind [281]
The answer to this question is: it depends. It depends on the arrangement of the capacitors in a circuit: it can be either in series or in parallel. The difference is shown in the picture. 

Capacitors are like batteries in a way that they store power from the source. It has some rules depending on the type of circuit. For parallel circuits, the voltage across each capacitor is equal. Therefore, V₁=V₂=V₃.

On the other hand, if the capacitors are arranged in series, the voltage across each capacitor should add up to the total voltage of the source. Therefore, V₁+V₂+V₃ = Total Voltage.

How much work will it take to lift a 2-kg pair of hiking boots 2 meters off the
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Option C - 39.2 J

Explanation:

We are given that;

Mass; m = 2 kg.

Distance moved off the floor;d = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity;g = 9.8 m/s².

We want to find the work done.

Now, the Formula for work done is given by;

Work = Force × displacement.

In this case, it's force of gravity to lift up the boots, thus;

Formula for this force is;

Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Force = 2 × 9.8 = 19.2 N

∴ Work done = 19.6 × 2

Work done = 39.2 J.

Hence, the Work done to life the boot of 2 kg to a height of 2 m is 39.2 J.

A 0.5 kg basketball moving 5 m/s to the right collides with a 0.05 kg tennis
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A. 1.4 m/s to the left

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:

M_{before} = M_{after}

where:

M = momentum [kg*m/s]

M = m*v

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

(m_{1} *v_{1} )-(m_{2} *v_{2})=(m_{1} *v_{3} )+(m_{2} *v_{4})

where:

m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]

v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]

m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]

v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]

v3 =  velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]

v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]

Now replacing and solving:

(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)

1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3

- 0.7 = 0.5*v

v = - 1.4 [m/s]

The negative sign means that the movement is towards left
