Answer:

The correct option is (D).

Explanation:

The attached figure shows a circuit that is short. It consists of a battery having a positive and the negative terminal, electric bulb and the connecting wires. In this figure, both the wires of the electric bulb are connected to only one terminal of the battery. So, the given circuit is a short circuit.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "short circuit".

Answer:

Short circuit

Explanation:

The given figure shows a short circuit. It is defined as the circuit which allows the flow of electric current when there is no resistance. It shows a battery, bulb and connecting wires.

The wire across the bulb is connected from one terminal to another without any resistance in between them.

So, the correct option is (d) " short circuit ".

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:

$v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}$

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum. </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}$ (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively. </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41$

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

I hope it helps you!

The specific heat of substance A is greater than that of substance B. Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equa

Sonja [21]

Answer:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)$

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

$c_{pA} > c_{pB}$

Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.

We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:

$T_{iA}= T_{iB}$

We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:

$Q = m c_p \Delta T$

And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:

$Q_A = Q_B$

And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:

$m_A c_{pA} \Delta T_A = m_B c_{pB} \Delta T_B$

And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T_{iA}) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T_{iB})$

And since $T_{iA}= T_{iB}= T$ we have this:

$m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)$

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.

Alex17521 [72]

The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.
