What is the current in a series circuit that has two resistors (4.0 ohms and 7.5 ohms) and a power source of 9.0 volts?

2 answers:

-- First, we have to decide how to handle the two resistors.

The effective resistance of resistors in series is the sum
of their individual resistances. That is, they act like a single
resistor, whose resistance is the sum of all of them.

So in this question, the 4.0 ohms and the 7.5 ohms act like a
single resistor of 11.5 ohms.

-- The current in the circuit is

   (the supply voltage) / (the total resistance)

   = (9.0 volts) / (11.5 ohms)

   = 0.783... Ampere (rounded)

How can we produce energy by turning a turbine?

maw [93]

Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0 track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20.0 /. Go-cart B accelerate

maria [59]

Complete Question

Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?

Answer:

Go-cart A is faster

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the track is $l = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The speed of A is $v__{A}} = 20 \ m/s$

The uniform acceleration of B is $a__{B}} = 0.333 \ m/s^2$

Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as

$t__{A}} = \frac{l}{v__{A}}}$

=> $t__{A}} = \frac{1000}{20}$

=> $t__{A}} = 50 \ s$

Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

$l = ut__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} a__{B}} * t__{B}}^2$

given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s

$1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} * 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $1000 = 0 *t__{B}} + \frac{1}{2} 0.333 * t__{B}}^2$

=> $t__{B}} = 77.5 \ seconds$

Comparing $t__{A}} \ and \ t__{B}}$ we see that $t__{A}}$ is smaller so go-cart A is faster

Refraction can occur only when light is

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.

Answer:

D) momentum of cannon + momentum of projectile= 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

In this case, the system cannon+projectile can be considered as isolated, because no external forces act on it (in fact, the surface is frictionless, so there is no friction acting on the cannon). Therefore, the total momentum of the two objects (cannon+projectile) must be equal before and after the firing:

$p_i = p_f$

But the initial momentum is zero, because at the beginning both the cannon and the projectile are at rest:

$p_i = 0$

So the final momentum, which is sum of the momentum of the cannon and of the projectile, must also be zero:

$p_f = p_{cannon}+p_{projectile} =0$
