Answer:

Option D. 5.45 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistance 1 (R₁) = 10 Ω

Resistance 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Resistance 3 (R₃) = 30 Ω

Voltage (V) = 120 V

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

The equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R = 1/10 + 1/20 + 1/30

Find the least common multiple (lcm) of 10, 20 and 30. The result is 60

Divide 60 by each of the denominators and multiply by their numerators respectively. We have:

1/R = (6 + 3 + 2)/60

1/R = 11/60

Invert

R = 60/11

R = 5.45 Ω

Thus, the equivalent resistance in the circuit is 5.45 Ω

Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. Calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton of mass mp moving

Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Let $m_p$ is the mass of proton. It is moving in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude B.

The magnetic force is balanced by the centripetal force acting on the proton as :

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB$

r is the radius of path,

$r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}$

Time period is given by :

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi m_p}{qB}$

Frequency of proton is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{qB}{2\pi m_p}$

The wavelength of radiation is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}$

So, the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton is $\dfrac{2\pi m_pc}{qB}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Block A of 5 kg with a speed of 3 m/s collides with block B of 10 kg that is stationary. After the collision, block B travels wi

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

-1m/s

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of block A after collision

According to collision theory:

MaVa+MbVb = MaVa+MbVb (after collision)

Substitute the given values

5(3)+10(0) = 5Va+10(2)

15+0 = 5Va + 20

5Va = 15-20

5Va = -5

Va = -5/5

Va = -1m/s

Hence the velocity of ball A after collision is -1m/s

Note that the velocity of block B is zero before collision since it is stationary

The student’s suggestion who provides enough evidence to be able to determine the value of each resistor is student D.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

For the given set of parallel resistors, we need to find the resistance of each resistor.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

R = V/I

Resistance value depends upon the voltage difference across the resistor and the current flowing through that resistance.

Thus, the student D gives enough evidence to find resistance of the circuit is

The only force acting on a 3.1 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

33.5J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the canister= 3.1 kg

Initial velocity of canister= v(i)= 4.4i m/s

Final velocity of canister= v(f)= 6.4j m/s

Force magnitude( xy plane)= 5 N

The magnitude of vector V'= Vxi + Vyj + Vzk

|V|= √( Vx^2 + Vy^2 + Vz^2

From Kinectic energy and work theorem.

Net work = Kinectic energy of the canister

ΔK= W

(Kf - Ki)= W

Where Kf= final Kinectic energy

= 1/2 mv^2

If we input the given values we have,

= 1/2 × 3.1 ×√(4.4^2 + 0^2 + 0^2)^2 = 30J

Ki= initial Kinectic energy

= 1/2 mv^2

If we substitute the given values we have

=1/2 × 3.1 ×√(0^2 + 6.4^2 + 0^2)^2 = 63.5 J

Work done by canister = (final Kinectic energy - initial energy)

= 63.5- 30

=33.5J

Hence, work done on the canister 33.5J
