Answer: C) allow current to flow even if some paths are cut.

Explanation:

In parallel circuit, the components are arranged in parallel paths across the same potential difference. The overall resistance decreases in parallel circuit. Different amount of current flows in different paths according to the resistance offered by the components. The main advantage of the parallel circuit is even if one component fuses, it does not effect other components. Thus, the current flows in the other paths even if one path disconnects.

Parallel circuits allow current to flow even if some paths are cut, because a parallel circuit has more than one current-carrying path through it.

A 0.250 kg fan cart accelerates at 24 cm/ s^2 for 4.5 seconds. what is the net force (fan thrust minus drag and friction) on the
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

0.06 N

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the fan cart = 0.250 kg

a = acceleration of the fan cart = 24 cm/s² = 0.24 m/s²

F = Net force on the cart

Net force on the cart is given as

F = ma

F = (0.250) (0.24)

F = 0.06 N

v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the cart

t = time interval = 4.5 s

Using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

v = 0 + (0.24) (4.5)

v = 1.08 m/s

A circuit is set up such that it has a current of 8 A. What would be the new current if the resistance was increased by a factor
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

I=\frac{V}{R}

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A

so the current is halved.

A certain quantity of steam has a temperature of 100.0 oC. To convert this steam into ice at 0.0 oC, energy in the form of heat
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2452.79432 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice

L_s = Latent heat of steam

s_w = Specific heat of water

L_i = Latent heat of ice

v = Velocity of ice

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Amount of heat required for steam

Q_1=mL_s\\\Rightarrow Q_1=m(2.256\times 10^6)

Heat released from water at 100 °C

Q_2=ms_w\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m4186\times (100-0)\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m0.4186\times 10^6

Heat released from water at 0 °C

Q_3=mL_i\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(333.5\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(0.3335\times 10^6)

Total heat released is

Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3\\\Rightarrow Q=m(2.256\times 10^6)+m0.4186\times 10^6+m(0.3335\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow Q=3008100m

The kinetic energy of the bullet will balance the heat

K=Q\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=3008100m\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 3008100}\\\Rightarrow v=2452.79432\ m/s

The velocity of the ice would be 2452.79432 m/s

What is the mass of an object if a 30 N force makes it accelerate at 6 m/s2
jasenka [17]

Answer:

5 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 6 m/s^2

Force = 30 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 30 / 6

mass = 5 kg

The greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature of planets
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Green house effect:

 Temperature of atmosphere is going to  increased continuously, because infrared light absorbed by gas .This increased in temperature atmosphere    is called green house effect.

The green houses gases are as follows

,Carbon diaoxide,water vapor  ,,Carbon diaoxide ,Methane ,,Carbon diaoxide oxide,CFCs ,ozone.

So the option c is correct.
