Answer:

A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes of an electric circuit intended to be at different voltages. This results in an electric current limited only by the Thévenin equivalent resistance of the rest of the network which can cause circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion.

hope it helps.Please give me brainliest O:-)

Answer:

A short circuit is an electrical circuit that allows a current to travel along an unintended path. It has no or very low electrical impedances. The opposite of a short circuit

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

2406 miles

Explanation:

Let A be the starting position, B the junction position and C the final position after flying the 3.5 hrs. Also, let b be the distance from the starting point:

$\angle ABC =(180-10) \textdegree=170\textdegree$

#Distance traveled in 1.5hrs is;

$c=690x1.5\\=1035mi$

#Distance traveled in next two hrs:

$a=690\times 2\\=1380mi$

#Now using the Cosine Rule:

$b^2=a^2+c^2-2ab\cos B\\\\=1380^2+1035^2-2(1380)(1035)cos170\textdegree\\\\b^2=5788.83\\\\b\approx 2406.00 \ mi$

Hence, the pilot is 2406 miles from her starting position.

A ship's wheel has a moment of inertia of 0.930 kilogram·meters squared. The inner radius of the ring is 26 centimeters, and the

Vikki [24]

We can use the formula of the moment of inertia given by:

$r\cdot F=I\alpha$

Where:

r = Distance from the point about which the torque is being measured to the point where the force is applied

F = Force

I = Moment of inertia

α = Angular acceleration

So:

$\begin{gathered} r\cdot F=(-0.26\times314+290\times0.32)=92.8-81.64=11.16 \\ I=0.930 \\ so,_{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}\alpha: \\ \alpha=\frac{r\cdot F}{I} \\ \alpha=\frac{11.16}{0.930} \\ \alpha=\frac{12rad}{s^2} \end{gathered}$

12 rad/s²

X rays of wavelength 0.0169 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electr

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) 4.04*10^-12m

b) 0.0209nm

c) 0.253MeV

Explanation:

The formula for Compton's scattering is given by:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_f-\lambda_i=\frac{h}{m_oc}(1-cos\theta)$

where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light.

a) by replacing in the formula you obtain the Compton shift:

$\Delta \lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^8m/s)}(1-cos132\°)=4.04*10^{-12}m$

b) The change in photon energy is given by:

$\Delta E=E_f-E_i=h\frac{c}{\lambda_f}-h\frac{c}{\lambda_i}=hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_f}-\frac{1}{\lambda_i})\\\\\lambda_f=4.04*10^{-12}m +\lambda_i=4.04*10^{-12}m+(0.0169*10^{-9}m)=2.09*10^{-11}m=0.0209nm$

c) The electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 × 10-12 m. Hence you can use the Broglie's relation to compute the momentum of the electron and then the kinetic energy.

$P=\frac{h}{\lambda_e}=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{2.43*10^{-12}m}=2.72*10^{-22}kgm\\$

$E_e=\frac{p^2}{2m_e}=\frac{(2.72*10^{-22}kgm)^2}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=4.06*10^{-14}J\\\\1J=6.242*10^{18}eV\\\\E_e=4.06*10^{-14}(6.242*10^{18}eV)=0.253MeV$
