<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) Attached to the response as Figure 1.

(b) 35.0Ω

(c) Across 5.0Ω = 1.3V

   Across 10.0Ω = 2.6Ω

   Across 20.0Ω = 5.2Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The labelled circuit using the correct symbols (for the resistors and battery) has been attached to this response.

(b) Since the resistors are hooked up in series, their equivalent resistance R, is found by adding the individual resistances of the resistors (R₁, R₂ and R₃). i.e

R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃               -------------------(i)

Where;

R₁ = 5.0 Ω

R₂ = 10.0 Ω

R₃ = 20.0 Ω

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

∴ R = 5.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω + 20.0 Ω

∴ R = 35.0 Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is ∴ R = 35.0Ω

(c) When resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them. To get the current through each resistor;

i. First, replace the resistors by their equivalent resistor as calculated above. The diagram has been attached to this response.

ii. As seen in the diagram, the current flowing through the equivalent resistor can be calculated using Ohm's law as follows;

V = I R              ------------------(ii)

Where;

V = Voltage supplied to the circuit = 9.0V

I = Current through the circuit

R = Resistance of the equivalent resistor = 35.0Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii)

9.0 = I x 35.0

I = \frac{9.0}{35.0}

I = 0.26A

This is also the current flowing through each of the resistors separately.

iii. Calculate the voltage drop across

1.<em> 5.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 5.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 5.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 5.0Ω resistor = 5.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 5.0

=> V = 1.3V

2.<em> 10.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 10.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 10.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 10.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 10.0

=> V = 2.6V

3.<em> 20.0 Ω resistor</em>

Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)

V = I x R

Where;

V = voltage drop across the 20.0Ω resistor

I = current through the 20.0Ω resistor = 0.26A

R = resistance of the 20.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω

=> V = 0.26 x 20.0

=> V = 5.2V

How do you rationalize the tension being used in Tennis Racket strings using the concept of impulse and momentum?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The momentum, ΔP, and therefore, kinetic energy given to the ball in a serve is the result of the product of the tension force, 'F', in the string and the time of contact, Δt, between the ball and the string

ΔP = F × Δt

Explanation:

The impulse, ΔP, is the produce of the force, 'F', applied to a body for a given period of time, Δt', that gives motion to the body, and it is equal to the change of momentum of the body

ΔP = F × Δt

The momentum, 'P', of a body is the product of the mass, 'm', of the body and its velocity, 'v'

P = m × v

Tension is the axial pulling force of a string

T = Axial Force, F_{axial}

The tension used in Tennis Racket strings is between 40 to 65 lbs.

When high tension is used in the string, the string is taut, and the contact duration between the Racket string and the ball is minimal, and the player needs to use more force to obtain a high momentum, and therefore, energy in the ball, which reduces control, and increase stress, as force is more emphasized

When low tension is used in the string, the Tennis Racket strings are more elastic. During a serve, the ball pushes the strings further back into the racket, such that the ball spends more time in contact with the string, (Δt is larger), and therefore, the impulse, F·Δt = ΔP, given to the ball is larger, therefore, the ball has a larger change in momentum, and therefore more energy in the intended direction.

However, a very slackened string will increase the increase area and time (large Δt) of contact of the ball and the racket such that the force given to the ball, F = ΔP/(large Δt) is reduced and therefore reduce the likelihood of gaining points from a serve against an opponent with a much forceful return of a serve.

Calculate the increase in potential energy of a 60.0-kg man who climbs a ladder 10.0 meters high
andriy [413]

Potential energy = (mass) · (gravity) · (height)

PE = (60 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (10 m)

PE = (60 · 9.8 · 10) · (kg · m²/s² )

PE = 5,880 joules

A motorcycle stops at a red light and then gains a speed of 12 m/s in 15s. What's its acceleration?
erastova [34]

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer

the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Given the data in the question;

Since the motorcycle stopped then, initial speed u = 0 m/s

final speed v = 12 m/s

time t = 15 s

acceleration = ?

To get our acceleration, we use the first equation of motion.

This equation states that;

v = u + at

so, we simply substitute in our given values

12 m/s = 0 m/s + ( a * 15s )

12 m/s = ( a * 15 s )

so we find a

a = \frac{12m/s}{15s}

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the motorcycle is 0.8 m/s²

Option a) 0.8 m/s² is the correct answer
