Answer:

4V

Explanation:

First, we calculate the total resistance to the given battery cell of emf 5V. The total resistance is the sum of all the resistance in the cell i.e.

Total resistance = 2Ω + 8Ω = 10Ω

Using ohms law equation to calculate the current passing through the battery cell:

V = IR

Where; V = voltage, I = current, R = resistance

5V = I × 10Ω

I = 5/10

I = 0.5A

Terminal voltage is calculated by the us of the following equation:

V=emf−IR

Where; R is internal resistance

V = 5 - (0.5 × 2)

V = 5 - 1

V = 4V

Therefore, the potential difference across the terminals of the battery cell is 4V

Compare the freezing point of water in the aquanaut’s apartment to its value at the surface. Is it higher, lower, or the same?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Freezing Point - Lower

Boiling Point - Higher

Solid- liquid transition line in the phase diagram has a negative slope, but the liquid-gas transition line has a positive slope. Since there is more air pressure at 100m it will take less to freeze the water but more to boil it since it requires a larger temperature under larger pressures

A 82-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.8 m/s
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.37 m/s to the left

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.  Initial momentum = final momentum.

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Initially, both the fisherman/boat and the package are at rest.

0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Plugging in values and solving:

0 = (82 kg + 112 kg) v + (15 kg) (4.8 m/s)

v = -0.37 m/s

The boat's velocity is 0.37 m/s to the left.

Light of wavelength 400 nm is incident on a single slit of width 15 microns. If a screen is placed 2.5 m from the slit. How far
olganol [36]

Answer:

0.0667 m

Explanation:

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = screen distance = 2.5 m

d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m

n = order = 1

θ = angle = ?

Using the equation

d Sinθ = n λ

(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)

Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³

y = position of first minimum

Using the equation for small angles

tanθ = Sinθ = y/D

26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5

y = 0.0667 m
