Answer:

$\frac{17}{14}*5$ = Approximately 6

Explanation:

What we need to know:

1. Given that this is a parallel circuit, each pathway will receive the full voltage from the source. Therefore, each pathway will receive 17V.

2. The current (I) stays the same for all loads in series. Therefore, I2 and I3 are equal since they are connected in series.

3. Ohm's law states that Voltage = Current × Resistance (V=IR)(I=V/R)(R=V/I)

1) Calculate the current for the path containing R2 and R3

$I_2_,_3=\frac{V_2_,_3}{R_2_,_3}\\I_2_,_3=\frac{17}{5+9}\\I_2_,_3=\frac{17}{14}$

Because the current running through this path is $\frac{17}{14}$ A, then I2 is $\frac{17}{14}$ A.

2) Use Ohm's Law by plugging in I2 and R2

$V_2=I_2*R_2\\V_2=\frac{17}{14} *5$

$V_2=6$ (approximate)

Therefore, V2 is approximately 6V.

I hope this helps!

Ben climbs a tree to retrieve a lost football. If he does 2,400 J of work to climb 8 m, how much force is he using?

krok68 [10]

Work = Force * distance.
d = 8 m
W = 2400 J
F = ???

2400 = 8 * F
F = 2400/8
F = 300 N

In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

$\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}$

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

$\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

also,

$\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}$

$\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}$

$\eta=0.52$

Efficiency = 52%

A sound wave is an example of an electromagnetic wave in nature?

AVprozaik [17]

No. Sorry. A sound wave is a mechanical wave. There's nothing electromagnetic about it.

A charge of 2.00 μC flows onto the plates of a capacitor when it is connected to a 12.0-V potential source. What is the minimum

uysha [10]

To develop this problem we will apply the concept of energy conservation. For which the work carried out must be equivalent to the potential energy stored on the capacitor. We will start by finding the capacitance to later be able to calculate the energy and therefore the work in the capacitor

$C = \frac{Q}{V}$
