Answer:
Total resistance = 270.4 ohm

Explanation:
In series connection, the total resistance can be calculated by adding all the resistances.

We have:
wire resistance = 0.4 ohm
bulb resistance = 150 ohm
rheostat resistance = 120 ohm

Adding up all the resistances, we can get the total resistance of the circuit as follows:
Total resistance = 0.4 + 150 + 120 = 270.4 ohm

Hope this helps :)

Scalars are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensio
Korolek [52]
The statement is false. Vectors are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensional motion. Scalar quantities can be used to analyze linear motion problem, but not projectile motion.

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 60 cm long and has a mass of 3.8 kg, with the center of
Serggg [28]

Answer:

(a) τ = 26.58 Nm

(b) τ = 18.79 Nm

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

d₁ = perpendicular distance between ball and shoulder = 60 cm = 0.6 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.6 m)

τ₁ = 17.64 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of 60 cm = (0.4)(60 cm) = 24 cm = 0.24 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.24 m)

τ₂ = 8.94 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 17.64 Nm + 8.94 Nm

<u>τ = 26.58 Nm</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Now, the arm is at 45° below horizontal line.

First we find the torque due to the ball in hand:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₁ = Torque due to ball in hand = ?

F₁ = Force due to ball in hand = m₁g = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N

42.42 cm = 0.4242 m

τ₁ = (29.4 N)(0.4242 m)

τ₁ = 12.47 Nm

Now, we calculate the torque due to the his arm:

τ₁ = F₁d₁

where,

τ₂ = Torque due to arm = ?

F₂ = Force due to arm = m₂g = (3.8 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 37.24 N

d₂ = perpendicular distance between center of mass and shoulder = 40% of (60 cm)(Cos 45°) = (0.4)(42.42 cm) = 16.96 cm = 0.1696 m

τ₂ = (37.24 N)(0.1696 m)

τ₂ = 6.32 Nm

Since, both torques have same direction. Therefore, total torque will be:

τ = τ₁ + τ₂

τ = 12.47 Nm + 6.32 Nm

<u>τ = 18.79 Nm</u>

Name three bright Saturn ring features, and explain why they are so bright.
Leviafan [203]

The F Ring, the Cassini Division, and the C Ring are bright ring features. They are bright due to the low concentration of materials within them, which allows sunlight to shine through.
