a). Perihelion . . . the point in Earth's orbit that's closest to the Sun.
We pass it every year early in January.
b). Aphelion . . . the point in Earth's orbit that's farthest from the Sun.
We pass it every year early in July.
c). Proxihelion . . . a made-up, meaningless word
d). Equinox . . . the points on the map of the stars where the Sun
appears to be on March 21 and September 21.
<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.
The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)
The capacitance of a series combination is
1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .
If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is
(product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals) .
In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them 1000 and 1 .
Then the series combination is
(1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)
= (1000) / (1001)
= 0.999 000 999 . . .
which is smaller than the smaller individual.
It'll always be that way. </span>
The equation for electrical power is<span>P=VI</span>where V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6(a).
6(b) can be solved with Ohm's Law<span>V=IR</span>or if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for I<span>P=<span><span>V2</span>R</span></span>
For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same.
We can find the resistance of each lamp from<span>P=<span><span>V2</span>R</span></span>Then the equivalent resistance as<span><span>1<span>R∗</span></span>=<span>1<span>R1</span></span>+<span>1<span>R2</span></span></span>Then the total power as<span><span>Pt</span>=<span><span>V2</span><span>R∗</span></span></span>However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra)<span><span>Pt</span>=<span>P1</span>+<span>P2</span></span>
For 8, again the resistance can be found as<span>P=<span><span>V2</span>R</span></span>The energy usage is simply<span><span>E=P⋅t</span></span>
Answer:
Simple machines are useful because they reduce effort needed for people to perform tasks beyond their normal capabilities.
