a parallel circuit is sometimes called a because the current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit

1 answer:

8 0

A parallel circuit is sometimes called a current divider because current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit. In addition, the current through the branches is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. If the resistance in each branch is kept constant but the voltage is decreased, the current will decrease.

The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 20cm.What is its focal length?

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Focal \ length = 10 \ cm}$

Given:

Radius of curvature (R) of a spherical mirror = 20

To Find:

Focal length (f)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf Focal \ length \ (f) = \frac{Radius \ of \ curvature \ (R)}{2}}}$

Substituting value of R in the equation:

$\sf \implies f = \frac{20}{2}$

$\sf \implies f = \frac{ \cancel{2} \times 10}{ \cancel{2}}$

$\sf \implies f = 10 \: cm$

Why is friction like applied force but different from gravity?

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Friction is when a force is applied or done by weight dragging onto something.

Explanation:

Gravity is when an object is getting pulled toward the center of what is attracting it. And applied force is when someone/sommething is applying force.

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e

ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J$

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

$E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J$

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

Jet fighter planes are launched from aircraft carriers with the aid of their own engines and a catapult. If in the process of be

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

W=315 x 10⁵ J

Explanation:

Given that

F= 2.5 x 10⁵ N

d= 90 m

K.E.=5.4 x 10⁷ J

We know that work done by all force is equal to the change in kinetic energy

Lets take work done by catapult is W

W + F.d= K.E.

W= 5.4 x 10⁷ - 2.5 x 10⁵ x 90 J

W= (540 - 25 x 9) 10⁵ J

W=315 x 10⁵ J
