What is folk remedies

1 answer:

3 0

A "folk" remedy is something you choose to eat, take, or do,
in order to correct some health issue, because your friend,
your grandmother, your religion, your shaman, your astrologer,
or your medicine man says that it's the right thing to do.

It may or may not be effective, and it may or may not even be
safe. What distinguishes it from mainstream medicine is that
its practices are based on hearsay, and have not been subjected
to scientific methods of investigation and evaluation.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives

denpristay [2]

Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.

Answer:

solution

308=20 swings

?::: =1

( 308×1)÷20

308÷20

154÷10

In this circuit (see picture), which resistor will draw the least power?

Basile [38]

A few different ways to do this:

Way #1:
The current in the series loop is (12 V) / (total resistance) .
(Turns out to be 2 Amperes, but the question isn't asking for that.)

In a series loop, the current is the same at every point, so it's
the same current through each resistor.

The power dissipated by a resistor is (current)² · (resistance),
and the current is the same everywhere in the circuit, so the
smallest resistance will dissipate the least power. That's R1 .

And by the way, it's not "drawing" the most power. It's dissipating it.

Way #2:
Another expression for the power dissipated by a resistance is

(voltage across the resistance)² / (resistance) .

In a series loop, the voltage across each resistor is

[ (individual resistance) / (total resistance ] x battery voltage.

So the power dissipated by each resistor is

(individual resistance)² x [(battery voltage) / (total resistance)²]

This expression is smallest for the smallest individual resistance.
(The other two quantities are the same for each individual resistor.)
So again, the least power is dissipated by the smallest individual resistance.
That's R1 .

Way #3: (Einstein's way)
If we sat back and relaxed for a minute, stared at the ceiling, let our minds
wander, puffed gently on our pipe, and just daydreamed about this question
for a minute or two, we might have easily guessed at the answer.

===> When you wire up a battery and a light bulb in series, the part
that dissipates power, and gets so hot that it radiates heat and light, is
the light bulb (some resistance), not the wire (very small resistance).
