You notice that when you turn off your bedroom lights, the kitchen lights can stay on. Based on this observation, what kind of c

ircuit was used to wire the lights in your house? A. Parallel circuits because there are two or more paths for the current to flow. B. Series circuits because the current through each component is the same. C. Series circuits because there are two or more paths for the current to flow. D. Parallel circuits because the current through each component is the same.

Answer:

the correct answer is A

Explanation:

In a series circuit the current flows through the circuit and when it is opened at some point the current stops throughout the circuit.

In a parallel circuit, the current flows through the different branches of the circuit and when the current in one branch is interrupted, it continues to flow through the others.

In this exercises they indicate that the bedroom lights are turned off (the circuit was opened), but the kitchen lights are still on, therefore it is a parallel circuit with at least two branches, the current that circulates through each one depends on the existence on each branch.

Therefore the correct answer is A

"Two uniform identical solid spherical balls each of mass M and radius R" and moment of inertia about its center 2/5 MR2 are rel
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

he sphere that uses less time is sphere A

Explanation:

Let's start with ball A, for this let's use the kinematics relations

        v² = v₀² - 2g (y-y₀)

indicate that the sphere is released therefore its initial velocity is zero and when it reaches the floor its height is zero y = 0

         v² = 0 - 2 g (0- y₀)

         v = \sqrt{2g y_o}

         v = \sqrt{2 \ 9.8\ H}

         v = 4.427 √H

Now let's work the sphere B, in this case it rolls down a ramp, let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. At the highest point, before you start to move

         Em₀ = U = m g y

final point. At the bottom of the ramp

         Em_f = K = ½ m v² + ½ I w²

notice that we include the kinetic energy of translation and rotation

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          mg H = ½ m v² + ½ I w²

angular and linear velocity are related

          v = w r

          w = v / r

the momentorot of inertia indicates that it is worth

          I = \frac{2}{5} m r²

we substitute

           m g H = ½ m v² + ½ (\frac{2}{5}  m r²) (\frac{v}{r} )²

           gH = \frac{1}{2}  v² + \frac{1}{5}  v² = \frac{7}{10}  v²

           v = \sqrt{\frac{10}{7} \ g H}

           v = \sqrt{ \frac{10}{7}  \ 9.8 \ H}

           v=3.742 √H

Taking the final speeds of the sphere, let's analyze the distance traveled, sphere A falls into the air, so the distance traveled is H.  The ball B rolls in a plane, so the distance (L) traveled can be found with trigonometry

           sin θ = H / L

           L = H /sin θ

we can see that L> H

In summary, ball A arrives with more speed and travels a shorter distance, therefore it must use a shorter time

Consequently the sphere that uses less time is sphere A

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, and there is an air resistance force causing an acceleration
lana [24]

Answer:

Vf= 7.29 m/s

Explanation:

Two force act on the object:

1) Gravity

2) Air resistance

Upward motion:

Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s

Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s

Gravity acting downward =  g = -9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²

( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²

⇒-25.6 *s = -100

⇒ s = 100/ 25.6

⇒ s = 3.9 m

Downward motion:

Vi= 0 m/s

s = 3.9 m

Gravity acting downward =  g = 9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = g - a₁  =  9.8 - 3  = 6.8 m/s²

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0

⇒ Vf² = 53. 125

⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s

How do the valves do in the heart​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.
