How original were Newton’s contributions to science? (In what ways did Newton depend on the mechanical view?)

1 answer:

4 0

Newton's new “reflecting telescope” was more powerful than ... Before Newton, scientists primarily adhered to ancient theories on ... laws of motion laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. Newton's research on motion helped give credibility to the heliocentric view. Newton also helped pioneer telescopic innovations, and he is sometimes credited with inventing the first reflecting telescope. He also conducted experiments using the prism, and developed a theory about the nature of color and light.

A potential difference of 15 V produces a current of 0.60 amps in a piece of copper wire. What is the resistance of the wire?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

R = 25 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage (p.d) = 15 V

Current = 0.6 A

To find the resistance of the wire;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

$R = \frac {V}{I}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$R = \frac {15}{0.6}$

R = 25 Ohms

A parallel circuit contains four identical lamps. The current through the energy source is 4 A. The total resistance of the circ

TEA [102]

Answer:

b. 40V , 40V

Explanation:

Connections are as per the figure.

As total current through source is 4A , current through each lamp is 1A.

As total resistance of the circuit is 10Ω ,resistance of each bulb is 40Ω because in case of a parallel circuit in which identical objects are connected , $R_{eff} = \frac{R}{n}$ where R is the resistance of each bulb and n is the number of bulbs.

As per Ohm's law , voltage of the source =IR = 4×10 =40V.

We can see from the figure that if the voltage across the source is 40V , the voltage across each bulb is also 40V.
