What is an example of a series circuit

Physics
1 answer:
belka [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation

The most famous and common example is Christmas tree lights. You can't tell easily by looking at them whether they are in series or parallel. But you sure know the difference when one of them burns out. When that happens, the whole string goes dead. No matter what you do (other than find out which bulb burned out) will not fix the problem.

Another example is anything that is temperature controlled. For example a furnace is controlled by a thermostat. When the room temperature reaches a certain point, the thermostat is constructed in a certain way so that it forms an open circuit and no current can flow through it. The furnace motor turns off and the furnace stops pumping hot air into a room.

A frog falls from its rainforest tree. If we ignore wind resistance, (a) how much time does it take the frog to fall a distance
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt²

S is the distance of fall

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given S = 12.0m, g = 9.81m/s^2, un= 0m/s

12 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

12 = 4.905t²²²

t² = 12/4.905

t² = 2.446

t = √2.446

t = 1.56secs

b) To determine how fast is the frog falling at this point, we need to calculate the speed of the frog. Using the equaton v = u+gt

v = 0+9.81(1.56)

v = 15.34m/s

Hence the frog is falling at the rate of 15.34m/s

You walk from your bedroom, 25m to the mailbox, and then walk 25m back to your bedroom. What is your total distance? What is you
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.

How will a wave change as it moves from a layer of higher velocity into a lower layer of lower velocity?
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.

Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.

What technique is used by scientists to determine which of several explanations is the best explanation
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
