Answer:

A. 20 N down

Explanation:

It's asking how much force of gravity is acting on it. The book weighs 20 Newtons so that's how much gravity is being applied. Hope this helps

Consider the classic problem with holiday lights, one little bulb goes out and the whole string goes out. First consider a strin
Flura [38]

Answer:

<em>a. 0.33 Amp</em>

<em>b. 2.4 Volt</em>

<em>c. 0</em>

<em>d. 2.45 Amp</em>

<em>e. Infinite</em>

<em>f. Series is safer</em>

Explanation:

<u>Series Connection of Resistors</u>

When two or more resistors are connected in series, the current through each one of them is the same, and the voltage divides depending on the particular value of each resistance. If all the resistances are equal, then the voltage is equally divided.

a. The string of 50 bulbs is connected to a 120 VAC outlet and consumes 40 W. The power of a circuit is given by

P=V.I

Solving for I

\displaystyle I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{40}{120}=0.33\ Amp

Since all the bulbs are connected in series the current is the same for all of them.

b. The voltage is equally divided, so each bulb has  120/50= 2.4 V

c. If one of the bulbs burns out and its resistance becomes infinite, then the series circuit is open and no current flows through it, neither through the rest of the bulbs. The typical case of the whole string going out.

d. If one of the bulbs short circuits, the resistance of that bulb is zero and the voltage is distributed by the 49 remaining bulbs. Thus the new current is

\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{49}=2.45\ A

e. If the bulbs were connected in parallel, all of them would have the same voltage, and the total current will be equally divided among them. In that case, a short circuit in one of the bulbs will cause a parallel short, theoretically producing an infinite current and making the short circuit protection blow up.

f. The condition described above makes the strings be made of series-connected bulbs which is safer than the parallel circuit. If a single bulb shorts, the entire string goes out in a series connection, but the breaker would trigger disconnection of the house circuit if it's a parallel connection. That is why we must deal with unusable strings instead of burning cables.

The tires on your truck have 0.35 m radius. In a straight line, you drive 2600 m. What is the angular displacement of the tire,
Travka [436]
1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement \theta is given by
\theta =  \frac{S}{r}
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire: S=2600 m. Using the information about the radius, r=0.35 m, we find the total angular displacement:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.35 m} =7428 rad

2) If we put larger tires, with radius r=0.60 m, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
\theta =  \frac{2600 m}{0.60 m}=4333 rad
