Answer:

D. If a home were wired in series, every light and appliance would have to be turned on in order for any light or appliance to work.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, all the appliances are connected on the same branch of the circuit, one after the other. This means that the current flowing throught them is the same. However, this means also that if one of the appliance is turned off (so, its switch is open), that appliance breaks the circuit, so the current can no longer flow through the other appliances either.

On the contrary, when the appliances are connected in parallel, they are connected in different branches, so if one of them is switched off, the other branches continue working unaffacted by it.

A 280-m-wide river flows due east at a uniform speed of 4.7m/s. A boat with a speed of 7.1m/s relative to the water leaves the s
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(a) The speed is 7.96 m/s

(b) The direction is 76 degree from positive X axis in counter clockwise direction.  

Explanation:

Width of river = 280 m

speed of river, vR = 4.7 m/s towards east

speed of boat with respect to water, v(B,R) = 7.1 m/s at 26 degree west of north

vR = 4.7 i \\\\v(B,R) = 7.1 (- sin 26 i + cos 26 j) = - 3.1 i + 6.4 j

(a) The velocity of boat with respect to ground is

\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,R)}=\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,G)}-\overrightarrow{v}_{(R,G)}\\\\- 3.1 \widehat{i} +6.4 \widehat{j}=\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,G)} - 4.7 \widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,G)} = 1.6 \widehat{i} + 6.4 \widehat{j}\\\\{v}_{(B,G)} = \sqrt{1.6^2 + 6.4^2}=6.96 m/s

(b) The direction is given  by

tan\theta = \frac{6.4}{1.6} =4\\\\\theta = 76^o

The final velocity of car is 20 m/s. The car is accelerating at a rate of 2.5m/s over a 10 seconds period of time. What is the i
balu736 [363]

Answer:

-5m/s

Explanation:

Since

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

2.5m/s^2=20m/s- initial velocity/10s

2.5m/s^2×10s= 20m/s -initial velocity

25m/s=20m/s - initial velocity

Initial velocity=20m/s-25m/s

= -5m/s

Given: g = 9.8 m/s 2 . A small glass of water is placed on carousel inside a microwave oven, at a radius 6.5 cm from the center.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

0.17 degrees

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following:

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

radius (r) = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

time (s) = 9.3 s

angle = ?

  • we first have to calculate the distance the water moves, and this is the circumference of the microwave

         circumference = 2 x π x r = 2 x π x 0.065 = 0.408 m

  • Now we find the speed with which it moves at

            speed = \frac{distance}{time}

                         =  \frac{o.408}{9.3} = 0.044

  • The next step is to find the centripetal acceleration

         a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

              = \frac{0.044^{2} }{0.065} = 0.03

being a vector quantity, acceleration has direction, the centripetal acceleration is the x component while the y component would be the acceleration due to gravity (g)

A = 0.03 x + 9.8 y

to find the angle we can apply tan θ = \frac{ 0.03 }{9.8

     θ  = 0.17 degrees
