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 cue ball of mass m1 = 0.325 kg is shot at another billiard ball, with mass m2 = 0.59 kg, which is at rest. The cue ball has an

Answer:

v_{2f} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls

Before the collision

P_i = m_1v

After the collision

P_f = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

So using the law of momentum conservation

P_i = P_f

m_1v = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision

m_1v^2/2 = m_1v_{1f}^2/2 + m_2v_{2f}^2/2

m_1v^2 = m_1v_{1f}^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2

From here we can plug in v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}

m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2

m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v^2 - 2vv_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1} + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1^2}\right) + m_2v_{2f}^2

m_1v^2 = m_1v^2 - 2vv_{2f}m_2 + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1} + m_2v_{2f}^2

v_{2f}^2(m_2 + \frac{m_2^2}{m_1}) - 2vm_2v_{2f} = 0

v_{2f}(1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}) = 2v

v_{2f} = \frac{2v}{1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2v}{\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}

On a Vernier Caliper, how do you know which mark to use on the very top scale?
madreJ [45]

<u>Answer</u>

To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use<em>. </em>


<u>Explanation</u>

A vernier caliper is an instrument that is used to measure the diameter of small circular objects such as diameter of a wires, thickness of an iron sheet.

The objects to be measured is place between the jaws of the calipers.

The vernier scale has two scales, the vernier scale and the main scale which is the very top scale.<em> To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use. </em>

What is the power output of a pump which can raise 60kg of water height to height of 10m every minute
sattari [20]

Answer:

<h3>Power = Work Done/time</h3>

=> Power = 60×10×10/60

=> Power = 6000/60

=> Power = 100 Watt

Hence the power output of a pump is 100 Watts.
