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.

On earth, two parts of a space probe weigh 14500 N and 4800 N. These parts are separated by a center-to-center distance of 18 m
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by:W= m*g

W= weight of the object( in N)

m= mass of the object (in kg)

g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} })

Therefore,

m_{1} = \frac{14500}{9.81}

m_{1} = 1478.08  kg

Similarly,

m_{2} = \frac{4800}{9.81}

m_{2} = 489.29  kg

Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects

Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.

Force between these two objects is given by:

F =  \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{R^{2} }

G= gravitational constant (6.67 * 10^{-11} m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2})

m_{1} , m_{2}= masses of the object

R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)

Substituiting all these values into the above formula

F = 1.489*10^{-7}  N

This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

A ball dropped from a window strikes the ground 2.76 seconds later. How high is the window above the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

37.33m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt^2

Time t = 2.76secs

g = 9.8m/s^2

S = 0 + 1/2(9.8)(2.76)^2

S = 4.9*7.6176

S = 37.33

Hence the window is 37.33m above the ground

Light rays in a material with index of refrection 1.35 1.35 can undergo total internal reflection when they strike the interface
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1.30

Explanation:

To calculate the critical angle we have ti use the formula:

sin\theta_c=\frac{n_2}{n_1}

where theta_c is the critical angle, n1 is the index of refraction of the material where the light is totally reflected, and n2 is the refractive index of the other material.

By taking n_2 and replacing we obtain:

n_2=n_1sin\theta_c=(1.35)sin75.1\°=1.30

hope this helps!!
