1. Calculate the resistance of a 12v, 20-amp circuit.

Physics
1 answer:
Elis [28]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

R = 0.6 ohms

Explanation:

We have,

Voltage of the circuit is 12 V

Current flowing in the circuit is 20 A

It is required to find the resistance of the circuit. Ohm'slaw gives the relationship between voltage, current and resistance. It is given by :

V=IR

R = resistance

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12}{20}\\\\R=0.6\ \Omega

so, the resistance of the circuit is 0.6 ohms.

spayn [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) V( primary ) = 100 V

V( secondary ) = 10 V

No of turns ( secondary ) / No of turns ( primary ) = 10 / 100

= 1 / 10

b ) current in secondary

= volt ( secondary ) / resistance

= 10 /6 = 1.67 A

c )

Average power to secondary

= V  ( secondary ) x current ( secondary )

= 10 x 10 / 6

= 16.67 W

d )

Power in primary = power in secondary = 16.67 W

e ) current drawn by ac line ( primary )

Volt ( primary ) x current ( primary ) = power in primary

= 16.67

current ( primary )

= 16.67 / 100

= 0.167 A

xxMikexx [17]
<span>The speed of a wave, V, is f *lambda. Where f is the frequency and lambda is the distance. If a new crest reaches the end every 4 secs; it takes 8s to cover the distance. Hence, f, which is the number of oscillations covered is 8s. So we have V = 8 * 5 = 40 ms^1.</span>

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
Roman55 [17]

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}

To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

andreev551 [17]
While refrigerant 410a is a near azeotropic refrigerant, it is still best when charging to remove the r-410a as a liquid from the storage cylinder.
Azeotrope means a constant boiling mixture. it is a mixture of two or more liquids,by simple distillation whose proportions cannot be changed. A mixture behaving purely is azeotropic and the mixture which behave differently is called non-azeotropic.
