What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?

Physics

alexira [117]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.

3. Explain why it is, regardless of the location, at a certain distance between the two points, you will perceive the two points
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Hello your question is missing some parts attached below is the missing part of your question

answer: <em>many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain</em>.

Explanation:

The reason regardless of the location that will make you perceive the two points as a single point rather than as two distinct points is that many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain.

The electric flux through a spherical surface is 1.4 ✕ 105 N · m2/C. What is the net charge (in C) enclosed by the surface?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The  value is   Q_{net} =  1.239 *10^{-6} \  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The electric flux is \Phi =  1.4*10^{5} \  N\cdot m^2/C

     

Generally the net charge is mathematically represented as

    Q_{net} =  \Phi *  \epsilon_o

Here \epsilon_o is the permetivity of free space with value  

       \epsilon_o =  8.85*10^{-12}  \  \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

So

   Q_{net} =  1.4*10^5 *  8.85*10^{-12}

=>   Q_{net} =  1.239 *10^{-6} \  C
