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

Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.

On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

If the given wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, what frequency will the sixth harmonic have?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

600Hz

Explanation:

In electrical systems of alternating current, the harmonics are, as in acoustics, frequencies multiples of the fundamental working frequency of the system and whose amplitude decreases as the multiple increases. For example, if we have systems fed by the 50 Hz network, harmonics of 100, 150, 200, etc. may appear.

In our case having a fundamental wave of 100Hz, I can have harmonics of 200,300,400, ..., 600Hz

B. Assuming the acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the
goblinko [34]

We have that the instantaneous velocity of the shuttlecock when it hits the ground is

V_{int}=\sqrt{U^2+19.6H}

From the question we are told

Assuming the acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the

shuttlecock when it hits the ground? Show your work below.

Generally the equation for acceleration  is mathematically given as

a=v \frac{dv}{dx}\\\\\Therefore\\\\\2ah=v^2-u^2

Where

acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2,

Hence,

V^2-U^2=2(-9.81)*-H

Therefore

V_{int}=\sqrt{U^2+19.6H}
