Answer:

C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit.

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into an outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parallel? A) Unscrew one light. If the other lights stay on, it's a series circuit. B) Unplug the strand. If the first light stays on, it's a series circuit. C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit. D) Cut the strand in half. If the plugged in half stays on, it's a series circuit.

SERIES CIRCUIT

In this circuit, the components there are in the same path, the entire circuit has the same current, each of the components posses different voltage drop. Hence, failure of one components to work, there will be break in entire circuit then other components cease to work.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT

This circuit has equal voltage drop across all the components, any problem in a component will not has effect on other components.

Therefore, if one want to determine if a light connection is in series or in parallel, one of the light can be unplugged if others stop working it means it's series, if other works it's parallel.

Select the correct statement to describe when a sample of liquid water vaporizes into water vapor
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This procces is called evaporation.

Explanation:

When you have liquid water that is transformed into steam, a phase change is called evaporation. The temperature for the evaporation of water depends on the pressure, for example for water at atmospheric pressure the temperature of evaporation is equal to 100°C. as the pressure increases are achieved evaporation temperatures higher. When that happens, the phase change temperature of the water is not increasing, as the process that takes place is the transfer of latent heat and applies only to changes of phase, that is to say at atmospheric pressure when it has 100% of the steam this will be at 101°C.

The 480 g bar is rotating as shown what is the angular momentum of the bar about the axle?
Greeley [361]
On a similar problem wherein instead of 480 g, a 650 gram of bar is used:

Angular momentum L = Iω, where 
<span>I = the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation, which for a long thin uniform rod rotating about its center as depicted in the diagram would be 1/12mℓ², where m is the mass of the rod and ℓ is its length. The mass of this particular rod is not given but the length of 2 meters is. The moment of inertia is therefore </span>
<span>I = 1/12m*2² = 1/3m kg*m² </span>

<span>The angular momentum ω = 2πf, where f is the frequency of rotation. If the angular momentum is to be in SI units, this frequency must be in revolutions per second. 120 rpm is 2 rev/s, so </span>
<span>ω = 2π * 2 rev/s = 4π s^(-1) </span>

<span>The angular momentum would therefore be </span>
<span>L = Iω </span>
<span>= 1/3m * 4π </span>
<span>= 4/3πm kg*m²/s, where m is the rod's mass in kg. </span>

<span>The direction of the angular momentum vector - pseudovector, actually - would be straight out of the diagram toward the viewer. </span>

<span>Edit: 650 g = 0.650 kg, so </span>
<span>L = 4/3π(0.650) kg*m²/s </span>
<span>≈ 2.72 kg*m²/s</span>

already did the work, i just need someone to see if i did the tangent line right? the line has to touch the point 0.6! thank you
Dmitrij [34]

The tangent looks good.

The curve is a bit crooked, at the 0.9 and 1.

But overall, cool graph.

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
