The wave takes 11.3 s to cover a distance of 26.5 m, so its speed is:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{26.5 m}{11.3 s}=2.35 m/s

The distance between two consecutive crests is 3 m, and this corresponds to the wavelength of the wave. To find its frequency, we can use the relationship between the speed v, the wavelength \lambda and the frequency f:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda}= \frac{2.35 m/s}{3 m}=0.78 Hz

Alyse runs to her classroom which is 20 meters away. She forgets her physics book in her locker and must return 20 meters in the
notka56 [123]

The average velocity of Alyse is 0 m/s.

<h3>What is the average velocity of an object or a person?</h3>

The average velocity of a person is the average of all the velocities of moving as it moves.

Velocity on its own is the ratio of the displacement of a body and the time taken for that displacement.

Mathematically:

  • Average velocity = total displacement / time taken

Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the distance traveled by a moving body in a specific direction.

Hence, average velocity and velocity are both vector quantities.

Displacement takes a measure of the shortest possible distance along a straight line from the beginning of the motion until the end of the motion.

Calculating the average velocity of Alyse:

Assuming the initial direction is positive and n=backeard direction is negative:

Total displacement = 20 m + - (20 m)

Total displacement = 0 m

total time = 3 minutes

Average velocity = 0 m/ 3

Average velocity = 0 m/s

1) Let's start by calculating the equivalent resistance of the three resistors in parallel, R_2, R_3, R_4:
\frac{1}{R_{234}}= \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}+ \frac{1}{R_4}= \frac{1}{4.5 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{1.3 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{6.3 \Omega}=1.15 \Omega^{-1}
From which we find
R_{234}= \frac{1}{1.15 \Omega^{-1}}=0.9 \Omega

Now all the resistors are in series, so the equivalent resistance of the circuit is the sum of all the resistances:
R_{eq}=R_1 + R_{234} = 5 \Omega + 0.9 \Omega = 5.9 \Omega
So, the correct answer is D) 


2) Let's start by calculating the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel:
\frac{1}{R_{23}} =  \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}= \frac{1}{5 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{5 \Omega}= \frac{2}{5 \Omega}
From which we find
R_{23} = 2.5 \Omega

And these are connected in series with a resistor of 10 \Omega, so the equivalent resistance of the circuit is
R_{eq}=10 \Omega + 2.5 \Omega = 12.5 \Omega

And by using Ohm's law we find the current in the circuit:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{9 V}{12.5 \Omega}=0.72 A
So, the correct answer is C).


3) Let' start by calculating the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel:
\frac{1}{R_{23}} =  \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}= \frac{1}{5 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{5 \Omega}= \frac{2}{5 \Omega}
From which we find
R_{23} = 2.5 \Omega
Then these are in series with all the other resistors, so the equivalent resistance of the circuit is
R_{eq}=R_1 + R_{23}+R_4 = 5 \Omega + 2.5 \Omega + 5 \Omega =12.5 \Omega

And by using Ohm's law we find the current flowing in the circuit:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{12.5 \Omega}=0.96 A

And so the voltage read by the voltmeter V1 is the voltage drop across the resistor 2-3:
V= I R_{23} = (0.96 A)(2.5 \Omega)=2.4 V
So, the correct answer is D).


4) Again, let's start by calculating the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel:
\frac{1}{R_{23}} = \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}= \frac{1}{13 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{18 \Omega}=0.13 \Omega^{-1}
From which we find
R_{23} = 7.55 \Omega

Now all the resistors are in series, so the equivalent resistance of the circuit is:
R_{eq}= R_1 + R_{23}+R_4=8.5 \Omega+7.55 \Omega + 3.2 \Omega = 19.25 \Omega

The current in the circuit is given by Ohm's law
I= \frac{V}{R_{Eq}}= \frac{15 V}{19.25 \Omega}=0.78 A

Now we can compare the voltage drops across the resistors. Resistor 1:
V_1 = I R_1 = (0.78 A)(8.5 \Omega)=6.63 V
Resistor 2 and resistor 3 are in parallel, so they have the same voltage drop:
V_2 = V_3 = V_{23} = I R_{23} = (0.78 A)(7.55 \Omega)=5.89 V
Resistor 4:
V_4 = I R_4 = (0.78 A)(3.2 \Omega)=2.50 V

So, the greatest voltage drop is on resistor 1, so the correct answer is D).


5) the figure shows a circuit with a resistor R and a capacitor C, so it is an example of RC circuit. Therefore, the correct answer is D).

6) The circuit is the same as part 4), so the calculations are exactly the same. Therefore, the power dissipated on resistor 3 is
P_3 = I_3^2 R_3 =  \frac{V_3^2}{R_3}= \frac{(5.89 V)^2}{18 \Omega}=2.0 W
So, correct answer is B).

7) The circuit is the same as part 4), so we can use exactly the same calculation, and we immediately see that the resistor with lowest voltage drop was R4 (2.50 V), so the correct answer is B) R4.
