hree identical resistors are connected in series. When a certain potential difference is applied across the combination, the tot

Answer:

The power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

Explanation:

Given;

three identical resistors connected in series

let the first resistor = R₁

let the second resistor = R₂

let the third resistor = R₃

Rt = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

Since the resistors are identical, thus, R₁ = R₂ = R₃ = R

Rt = 3R

Power is given as;

P = IV = V² / R

P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{V^2}{3R} \\\\3P = \frac{V^2}{R} ------equation(i)

If the 3 identical resistor connection were changed to parallel, then the equivalent resistance in the circuit will be;

\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \\\\But, R_1 = R_2 = R_3\\\\\\frac{1}{R_t} = \frac{1}{R} +\frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} \\\\\frac{1}{R_t} =\frac{3}{R} \\\\R_t = \frac{R}{3} \\\\P = \frac{V^2}{R_t} = \frac{3V^2}{R} \\\\P_{parallel} = \frac{3V^2}{R} ---------equation (ii)\\\\From \ equation \ (i), 3P_{series} = \frac{V^2}{R}, Substitute \ this \ into \ equation \ (ii)\\\\P = 3(\frac{V^2}{R} )\\\\P = 3(3P)\\\\P_{parallel} = 9P_{series}\\\\P_{parallel} = 9(45)\\\\

P_{parallel} = 405 \ W

Therefore, the power dissipated if the three resistors were connected in parallel across the same potential difference is 405 W

A steel ball rolls with a constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high it rolls off and hit the ground 0.352 m from the edge of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.799 m/s if air resistance is negligible.

Explanation:

For how long is the ball in the air?

Acceleration is constant. The change in the ball's height \Delta h depends on the square of the time:

\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t,

where

  • \Delta h is the change in the ball's height.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity.
  • t is the time for which the ball is in the air.
  • v_0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball.
  • The height of the ball decreases, so this value should be the opposite of the height of the table relative to the ground. \Delta h = -0.950\;\text{m}.
  • Gravity pulls objects toward the earth, so g is also negative. g \approx -9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2} near the surface of the earth.
  • Assume that the table is flat. The vertical velocity of the ball will be zero until it falls off the edge. As a result, v_0 = 0.

Solve for t.

\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t;

\displaystyle -0.950 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.81) \cdot t^{2};

\displaystyle t^{2} =\frac{-0.950}{1/2 \times (-9.81)};

t \approx 0.440315\;\text{s}.

What's the initial horizontal velocity of the ball?

  • Horizontal displacement of the ball: \Delta x = 0.352\;\text{m};
  • Time taken: \Delta t = 0.440315\;\text{s}

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Only gravity is acting on the ball when it falls from the tabletop. The horizontal velocity of the ball will not change while the ball is in the air. In other words, the ball will move away from the table at the same speed at which it rolls towards the edge.

\begin{aligned}\text{Rolling Velocity}&=\text{Horizontal Velocity} \\&= \text{Average Horizontal Velocity}\\ &=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.352\;\text{m}}{0.440315\;\text{s}}=0.0799\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Both values from the question come with 3 significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that during the calculation and round the final result to the same number of significant figures.

The wavelength of a certain portion of an electromagnetic wave is 314 nm. what is its frequency and classification?
nadezda [96]

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 9.55 × 1014 Hz and it is classified as ultraviolet.

<h3>What is meant by electromagnetic waves?</h3>

Electromagnetic waves are forms of energy that are invisible and travel throughout the universe. However, some of the effects of this energy are visible. The light that we see is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves, or EM waves, are produced by vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, electromagnetic waves are made up of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

<h3>How do you calculate the speed of an electromagnetic wave?</h3>

The wavelength and frequency of any periodic wave are used to calculate its speed. v = λf.

In free space, the speed of any electromagnetic wave is equal to the speed of light, c = 3 *108 m/s.

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 9.55 × 1014 Hz and it is classified as ultraviolet.

[OU.04]What type of galaxy is described as having a circular shape with most of the objects concentrated around its center? spir
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

spiral

Explanation:

A galaxy may be defined as the huge collection of celestial bodies like the stars, planets, dark matters, dust and gases and the solar systems. It is derived from the Greek work, 'Galaxias' , which means "milky". There are many types of galaxies. They are : Spiral galaxy, Elliptical galaxy, Irregular galaxy and Barred spiral galaxy.

A spiral galaxy is one which contains a sphere shaped bulge which consists of old stars and it is devoid of dust and gas. Its circular shape composes a disk. It is of circular shape having most of the objects concentrated in its center.
