Answer:

a) 14 Ω

b) 2.0 A

c) 28 V

Explanation:

a) The total resistance of resistors in series is the sum:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 8.0 Ω + 6.0 Ω

R = 14 Ω

b) The current in the 6.0 Ω resistor can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = I (6.0 Ω)

I = 2.0 A

c) Since the resistors are in series, they have the same current. So the total voltage is:

V = IR

V = (2.0 A) (14 Ω)

V = 28 V

A marble slides without friction in a vertical loop around the inside of a smooth, 28.6 cm diameter horizontal pipe. The marble'

Leviafan [203]

Answer:3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of marble at Bottom $v=4.22 m/s$

Diameter of loop $d=28.6 cm$

As Energy is conserved therefore Energy at top is equal to energy at bottom

$E_T=E_B$

$\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$ ,where $v_0$ is the velocity at bottom

$\frac{v^2}{2}+gh=\frac{v_0^2}{2}$

$v_0^2=v^2+2gh$

$v^2=v_0^2-2gh$

$v=\sqrt{v_0^2-2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{4.22^2-2\times 9.8\times 0.286}$

$v=\sqrt{17.8084-5.6056}$

$v=3.49 m/s$

Tourists covered 255 km for a 4-hour ride by car and a 7-hour ride by train. what is the speed of the train, if it is 5 km/h gre

LekaFEV [45]

The distance covered by car is equal to (assuming it is moving by uniform motion) the product between the car's speed and the time of the car ride, 4 h:
$S_c = v_c t_c$
where
$v_c$ is the car's speed
$t_c = 4 h$ is the duration of the car ride

Similarly, the distance covered by train is equal to the product between the train's speed and the duration of the train ride, 7 h:
$S_t = v_t t_t$

The total distance covered is S=255 km, which is the sum of the distances covered by car and train:
$S=255 km = S_c + S_t$
which becomes
$255 = 4 v_c + 7 v_t$ (1)
we also know that the train speed is 5 km/h greater than the car's speed:
$v_t = 5 + v_c$ (2)

If we put (2) into (1), we find
$255 = 4v_c + 7(5+v_c)$
and if we solve it, we find
$v_c = 20 km/h$
$v_t = 25 km/h$

So, the car speed is 20 km/h and the train speed is 25 km/h.

A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth (frictionless) ramp that makes an angle of 30^\circ30 ∘ with the horizontal. What is

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the surface is frictionless therefore there will be no friction force on block but there will be weight of block which we can divide in to two components i.e. mgcosθ &mgsinθ which is perpendicular and parallel to the surface respectively.

In response to mgcosθ ramp will apply a normal force to the block which will be of equal magnitude to that of mgcosθ.

Therefore Ramp will apply a Force of mgcosθ on block where m is the mass of block.

You're driving your new sports car at 85 mph over the top of a hill that has a radius of curvature of 525 m.

Bumek [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the sports car, v = 85 mph = 37.99 m/s

The radius of curvature, r = 525 m

Let $W_N$ is the normal weight and $W_A$ is the apparent weight of the person. Its apparent weight is given by :

$W_A=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

So, $\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}}{mg}$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{g-\dfrac{v^2}{r}}{g}$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=\dfrac{9.8-\dfrac{(37.99)^2}{525}}{9.8}$

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=0.719$

or

$\dfrac{W_A}{W_N}=71.9\%$

Hence, this is the required solution.
