Answer:

see solution below

Explanation:

The given resistors are connected in series.

Equivalent resistance in series = 30 + 55 + 15

Equivalent resistance in series Rt = 100 ohms

Since the potential difference in the circuit = 36V

Get the current in the circuit first

I = V/Rt

I = 36/100

I = 0.36A

Get the voltage across 30ohms resistor;

V30 = 0.36 * 30

V30 = 10.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 30ohms resistor is 10.8volts

Get the voltage across 55ohms resistor;

V55 = 0.36 * 55

V55 = 19.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 55ohms resistor is 19.8volts

Get the voltage across 15ohms resistor;

V15 = 0.36 * 15

V15 = 5.4volts

Hence the voltage across the 15ohms resistor is 5.4volts

¿Por que una una tapa pequeña de agua purificada se mantiene quieta por más tiempo sobre una rampa, en comparación al tiempo red

shusha [124]

Answer:

Esto sucede principalmente por el movimiento rotacional de las ruedas del carrito.

Como sabemos, existen dos tipos de coeficientes de fricción, el estacionario y el cinético.

En principio, la tapa se mantendrá quieta por que no tendrá la suficiente fuerza como para vencer al coeficiente de fricción estático, por lo que no podrá moverse hasta que esta reciba un pequeño impulso, como puede ser una pequeña corriente de aire. (asumo que la superficie curva de la tapita es la que esta en contacto con la rampa)

(Voy a simplificar el movimiento rotacional, pero creo que es suficiente para explicar la situación)

Ahora, en el carrito, las ruedas están conectadas a un eje.

La fuerza gravitatoria podemos pensarla que esta arriba de este eje, mas o menos en el centro del carrito, y esta fuerza intentara que el carrito baje de la rampa (lo mismo pasa para la tapita), pero a diferencia de la tapita, esta fuerza es aplicada a una distancia dada del eje (o del centro de las rueditas) lo que podemos pensar que funciona como una palanca, amplificando así la fuerza, por lo que esta vez el rozamiento estático podrá detener la superficie de la rueda que esta en contacto con el suelo, pero cuanto el centro de masa se mueva un poco, el punto de contacto entre la rueda y el suelo se moverá, de esta manera aparece lo que llamamos movimiento rotacional (si no hubiera fricción, las ruedas simplemente deslizarían sobre la rampa) que le permite al carrito ignorar en parte al coeficiente de fricción estático.

Otro factor importante, es que las tapitas suelen tener una superficie rugosa y un centro de masa desfazado, lo que no las hace buenas rotadoras.

Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Lithium has the lowest electronegativity.

Explanation:

Electronegativity measures the tendency of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons. As we move left to right in a period, the number of shell remains same but the number of electron increases(negative charge increases. Hence, electronegativity also increases.

As Lithium is the left most element in this period. It has the lowest electronegativity value which is equal to 0.98.
