How does a switch work in a circuit​

Physics
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
5 0

An electric switch is a device that interrupts the electron flow in a circuit. Switches are primarily binary devices: either fully on or off and light switches have a simple design. When the switch is turned off, the circuit breaks and the power flow is interrupted. Circuits consist of a source of power and load.

Bulky is working at a UPS loading dock. He boasts he can lift a 154 kg box 4 meters in 30
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Power is 200 W

Explanation: Power P = work done / time used.

P = W/t = mgh/t = 154 kg · 9.81 m/s²· 4 m / 30 s = 201 W

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2

How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity
sashaice [31]

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

A lightbulb is rated by the power that it dissipates when connected to a given voltage. For a lightbulb connected to 120 V house
Igoryamba

Answer:

Increases, increases

Explanation:

The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. The implication of this is that, whenever the voltage is increased, the current increases simultaneously. On the other hand, if the resistance is increased, the current will decrease accordingly and vice versa.

Recall that power is given by P= V^2/R where;

P= power, V= voltage and R= resistance

We can see that power and resistance are inversely related hence decreasing the resistance increases the power output of the lightbulb.
