1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].
2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].
3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].
4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].

(b) d = 0.5 m
<u>Explanation :</u>
It is given that,
Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz
Speed of sound wave at is, v = 343 m/s
(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.
........(1)
Velocity of sound wave is given by :
Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.
(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.
( n = integers )
Let n = 1
So,
Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
where
F is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem:
F = 40 N is the force on the object
m = 2 kg is its mass
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is
