Answer:

A Shunt is a passive element, usually resistive, that is used to bypass current around another element, like a meter, that is not able to handle the full current flow. ... A Multiplier is an active element that amplifies a voltage or current to enable a less sensitive device or circuit to make use of it.

Explanation:

A Shunt is a passive element, usually resistive, that is used to bypass current around another element, like a meter, that is not able to handle the full current flow.

The voltage equivalent of this is the voltage Divider, once again usually resistive, which is used to block excessive voltage from an element that is not able to withstand the whole voltage.

A Multiplier is an active element that amplifies a voltage or current to enable a less sensitive device or circuit to make use of it.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Most street lights are made from one or two elements mercury or sodium. Explain why astronomers preferred that cities you sodium
lora16 [44]
Mercury is very harmful to the average human being. the mercury can easily be released from the lamp if the lamp is knocked over and broken. mercury is also harmful if inhaled. sodium on the other hand is not harmful in any way.

1. The statement about Newton's reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}, 2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electromagnetic force between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equal to the centripetal force:

k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

e is the magnitude of the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

v is the speed of the electron

m_e is the mass of the electron

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}

Inside an atom of hydrogen, the distance between the electron and the nucleus is approximately

r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m

while the electron mass is

m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg

and the charge is

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Substituting into the formula, we find

v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s
