Two appliances are connected in parallel to a 120-v battery and draw currents i1 = 3.0 a and i2 = 3.1

1 answer:

4 0

Initially they are connected in parallel, so they have the same voltage V=120 V at their ends. Therefore we can use Ohm's law to calculate the resistance of each appliance:
$R_1 = \frac{V}{I_1}= \frac{120 V}{3.0 A}=40 \Omega$
$R_2 = \frac{V}{I_2}= \frac{120 V}{3.1 A}=38.7 \Omega$

When they are connected in series, they are crossed by the same current I. The equivalent resistance of the circuit in this case is $R_{eq}=R_1+R_2 = 78.7 \Omega$ , so we can use Ohm's law for the entire circuit to find the current in the circuit:
$I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{120 V}{78.7 \Omega}=1.52 A$

I hope you are able to read this question?? Help ASAP this question is on the quiz tommorow

You would be correct.

Because you have only JUST released the arrow, and how close he is to the target, it would have the same amount of energy when it strikes the target. Yes, the kinetic energy would be destroyed when you hit the target but not right away. And yes, the potential energy would also be destroyed once you release the arrow, but it goes straight back once it stops moving, aka when it hits the target, although it has only just stopped moving.

Hope this helps!

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t

stepan [7]

We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where $F=-50 N$ is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
$a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}$
where
$v_f=0$ is the final speed of the sled
$v_i=5 m/s$ is the initial speed
$d$ is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
$d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m$

An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).
