Which of these components is not necessary for current to flow in a series or parallel circuit?

1 answer:

8 0

Current requires only an EMF source ... like a battery, or a current already flowing ... and a conducting path ... like wire, ionized air, or something dissolved in water. A switch isn't needed unless you want a quick, easy way to STOP the current. A resistor isn't needed unless you want to be able to dissipate some energy from the current, or limit its magnitude.

For a vertical spring-mass oscillator that is moving up and down, which of the following statements are true? (more than one sta

omeli [17]

Answer:

At the lowest point in the oscillation, the momentum is zero.

At the lowest point in the oscillation, $mg < ks_s$

Explanation:

Since spring block system is performing to and fro motion along straight line

So here we can say at the lowest position of its path the velocity will become zero.

So we can say that momentum of the spring block system is given as

$P = mv$

$P = 0$

Also we know that after reaching the lowest point the block will again go up towards its mean position

So at the lowest point of the spring block system the block will move upwards again

So this will accelerate upwards hence

$F_{spring} > mg$

$Ks > mg$

How do line symmetry differ from rotational symmetry?.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

A line of symmetry is a line that separates a shape into two identical halves.
Rotational symmetry is the same thing except when you rotate the object, it has to have the exact same line of symmetry.

Hope this helps!!!

What is one difference between using a solar cell for electricity and using a windmill?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Solar cell generates DC

Windmill generates AC

Explanation:

Solar cell generates DC from the panel, to use this DC for electricity it has to be passed to an inverter which convert DC to AC.

Windmill generates AC from the wind blades. This type of energy can be used directly with household appliances using AC, or passed to a rectifier to convert it to DC.

You are helping two friends from our class with a physics problem where a cart is pushed up a ramp. In examining the motion of t

stiks02 [169]

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.

Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.

Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.

Explanation:

Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.

For vertical acceleration:

If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.

In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.

For horizontal acceleration:

This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.

But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.
