Answer:

The same current flows through each resistor in series. Individual resistors in series do not get the total source voltage, but divide it. The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances: RN(series)=R1+R2+R3+…

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current

Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

R = 480 Ohms

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is. (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.13 m and mass 175 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.651 rev/s. A 55.4 kg per

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁ + I₂ ) ω

I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .

I₁ = 1/2 mr²

= .5 x 175 x 2.13²

= 396.97 kgm²

I₂ = m r²

= 55.4 x 2.13²

= 251.34 mgm²

ω₁ = .651 rev /s

= .651 x 2π rad /s

ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc

= 3.51 / 2.13

= 1.65 rad/s

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁ + I₂ ) ω

396.97 x .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω

ω = 3.14 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

= 3196 J

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w

amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

$v = \lambda * f (1)$

Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

$f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)$

⇒ f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$v =\frac{d}{t} (3)$

where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

Solving for t, we get:

$t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)$

⇒ t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

A stoplight with weight 100 N is suspended at the midpoint of a cable strung between two posts 200 m apart. The attach points fo

Tasya [4]

There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:

• its weight W, with magnitude W = 100 N, pointing directly downward

• two tension forces T₁ and T₂ with equal magnitude T₁ = T₂ = T = 1000 N, both making an angle of θ with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right

The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that

∑ F = T₁ sin(θ) + T₂ sin(180° - θ) - W = 0

We have sin(180° - θ) = sin(θ) for all θ, so the above reduces to

2T sin(θ) = W

2 (1000 N) sin(θ) = 100 N

sin(θ) = 0.05

θ ≈ 2.87°

If y is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then

tan(θ) = (15 m - y) / (100 m)

Solve for y :

tan(2.87°) = (15 m - y) / (100 m)

y = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)

y ≈ 9.99 m
