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

You pour 250 g of tea into a Styrofoam cup, initially at 80∘C and stir in a little sugar using a 100-g aluminum 20∘C spoon and l

jok3333 [9.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy and heat transferred in a body.

By definition we know that the heat lost must be equal to the heat gained, ie

$Q_g = Q_l$

Where,

Q = Heat exchange

The heat exchange is defined as

$Q = c_p m \Delta T$

Where,

$c_p =$ Specific heat

m = mass

$\Delta T=$ Change in Temperature

Therefore replacing we have that

$Q_g = Q_l$

$c_{p-tea} m \Delta T = c_{p-al} m \Delta T$

Replacing with our values we have that

$0.25*4180*(80-T) = 0.1*900*(T-20)$

$11.61*(80-T) = T-20$

$T= \frac{948.8}{11.61}$

$T = 75.24\°C$

Therefore the highest possible temperature of the spoon when you finally take it out of the cup is 75.24°C

2. Summarize how the force of gravity

-BARSIC- [3]

In summary, gravity is the force that creates the pressure to fuse atoms, which makes the stars shine. Eventually the temperature is high enough that the star starts fusing hydrogen into helium. When the outward pressure produced by the heating of the gas by fusion energy balances gravity, a stable star is formed.

The box shown on the rough ramp above is sliding up the ramp.calculate the force of friction on the box

Anna [14]

We are given a box that slides up a ramp. To determine the force of friction we will use the following relationship:

$F_f=\mu N$

Where.

$\begin{gathered} N=\text{ normal force} \\ \mu=\text{ coefficient of friction} \end{gathered}$

To determine the Normal force we will add the forces in the direction perpendicular to the ramp, we will call this direction the y-direction as shown in the following diagram:

In the diagram we have:

$\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass}_{} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \\ mg=\text{ weight} \\ mg_y=y-\text{component of the weight. } \end{gathered}$

Adding the forces in the y-direction we get:

$\Sigma F_y=N-mg_y$

Since there is no movement in the y-direction the sum of forces must be equal to zero:

$N-mg_y=0$

Now we solve for the normal force:

$N=mg_y$

To determine the y-component of the weight we will use the trigonometric function cosine:

$\cos 40=\frac{mg_y}{mg}$

Now we multiply both sides by "mg":

$mg\cos 40=mg_y$

Now we substitute this value in the expression for the normal force:

$N=mg\cos 40$

Now we substitute this in the expression for the friction force:

$F_f=\mu mg\cos 40$

Now we substitute the given values:

$F_f=(0.2)(10\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\cos 40$

Solving the operations:

$F_f=15.01N$

Therefore, the force of friction is 15.01 Newtons.
