Answer:

Current in a parallel circuit = 0.61 amps (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage V = 6 volt

Two resistors = 17.2 , 22.4 in parallel circuit

Find:

Current in a parallel circuit

Computation:

1/R = 1/r1 + 1 / r2

1/R = 1/17.2 + 1 / 22.4

R = 9.73 ohms (Approx)

Current in a parallel circuit = V / R

Current in a parallel circuit = 6 / 9.73

Current in a parallel circuit = 0.61 amps (Approx)

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes

geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

$V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega$

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes 16000 ohms of resistance.

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.254 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.367 kg ), which is ini

irinina [24]

Answer:

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being $m_a$ and $m_b$ the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

$M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b$

Since b is initially at rest

$M_1=m_av_a$

After the collision and being $v'_a$ and $v'_b$ the respective velocities, the total momentum is

$M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Both momentums are equal, thus

$m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Solving for $v_a$

$v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}$

$v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}$

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2$

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J$

The final kinetic energy is

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2$

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J$

The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

A 2 feet piece of wire is cut into two pieces and once a piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral t

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x ft be used to make square and 2-x ft be used to make equilateral triangle.

each side of square = x/4

area of square = ( x /4 )²

Each side of triangle

= (2-x) /3

Area of triangle = 1/2 (2-x)²/9 sin 60

= √3 / 36 x (2-x)²

Total area

A = ( x /4 )² +√3 / 36 (2-x)²

For maximum area

dA/dx = 0

1/16( 2x ) -√3 / 36 x2(2-x) = 0

x / 8 - √3(2-x)/ 18 = 0

x / 8 - √3/9 + √3/18 x = 0

x ( 1/8 + √3/18 ) = √3/9

x(.125 +.096 ) = .192

x = .868 ft

In the lab, you submerge 100 g of 40°C nails in 200 g of 20°C water. (The specific heat of iron is 0.12 cal/g # °C.) Equate the

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Final temperature of the mixture becomes

$T = 21.13^oC$

Explanation:

Here we know that heat given by the nail is equal to the heat absorbed by water

So here we know that heat to change the temperature is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

so by equating the heat we have

$m_{iron}s_{iron}\Delta T = m_{water}s_{water}\Delta T$

now we have

$100 (0.12) (40 - T) = 200 (1) (T - 20)$

$4.8 - 0.12 T = 2T - 40$

$44.8 = 2.12 T$

$T = 21.13^oC$
