Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: 1,500m/s

Explanation:

Relationship existing between velocity of a wave (v), wavelength(¶) and frequency(f) is

v = f¶... (1)

Since Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T);

Frequency = 1/Period i.e F = 1/T... (2)

Substituting equation 2 into 1 we have;

v = 1/T × ¶

v = ¶/T

Given wavelength ¶ = 9m

Period T = 0.006s

v = 9/0.006

v = 1,500m/s

The velocity of the wave will be 1,500m/s

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in primary coil= 11

Number of turns in secondary coil= 18

Peak voltage = 67 V

We nee to calculate the peak emf

Using relation of number of turns and emf

$\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}=\dfrac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$

$E_{1}=\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}\times E_{2}$

Where, N₁ = Number of turns in primary coil

N₂ = Number of turns in secondary coil

E₂ = emf across secondary coil

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{11}{18}\times67$

$E_{1}=40.94\ V$

Hence, The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The

S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$f-N_w = 0$

$N_w = f$

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$N_f -W =0$

$N_f = W$

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

$\sum \tau = 0$

$Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0$

$WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta$

$f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

$f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$
