Answer:

The RMS voltage across the resistor = 28 V

Explanation:

Capacitor: A capacitor is an electrical device that has the ability to store electrical charges in an electrical circuit. It is expressed in Farad (F)

Resistor: A resistor is an electrical device that oppose the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is expressed in ohms (Ω)

RMS Voltage : RMS voltage  value of an alternating voltage is defined as that value of steady voltage which would dissipate heat at the same rate in a given resistance

Since the it is a series circuit, the total voltage is divided across the resistance and the capacitor.

Vt = V₁ + V₂...........................Equation 1

Where Vt = total Rms voltage = 120 V ,  V₁ = Rms voltage across the Capacitor = 92 V, V₂ = Rms voltage across the resistor.

Making V₂ the subject of the equation in equation 1 above,

V₂ = Vt - V₁  = 120 - 92

V₂ = 28 V.

The RMS voltage across the resistor = 28 V

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

How would your body be affected involuntary action.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

the human brain is responsible for involuntary activities, such as regulating heartbeat, breathing, and blinking. Although the brain controls both voluntary and involuntary activities, different regions of the brain are devoted to each type of task.

Both involuntary and voluntary actions are controlled by the same parts of the brain. Hindbrain and midbrain control involuntary actions like salivation, vomiting, etc. All the body's voluntary actions are controlled by the motor cortex in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum.

Car B is following Car A and has a greater speed than Car A. the two cars are moving in a straight line and in the same directio
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Collision force will be same in both the cases.

Explanation:

A perfectly inelastic collision is said to take place  when a system loses the amount of its Kinetic Energy at its maximum. In a perfectly inelastic collision,  the colliding particles stick to each other. In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by combining the two bodies with each other.

In situation 1:

Speed of Car A, v_{A} = 10 mph

Speed of Car B, v_{B} = 20 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Now, in the situation 2:

Speed of car A, v_{A} = 30 mph

Speed of car B, v_{B} = 40 mph

Relative speed of car A and car B, v = v_{b} - v_{a} = 10 m/s

Therefore, Car A and Car B both have the same relative speed, v = 10 m/s
