Hernando builds a simple DC series circuit with a standard D-cell battery and uses an ammeter to determine that the total curren

t in the system is 3.0 A. In an attempt to increase the brightness of the bulbs in the circuit, he tries to increase the voltage by adding two more batteries (in series with the first). Calculate the new current when driven by three batteries.

Answer: I = 9.0 A

Explanation: <u>Ohm's</u> <u>Law</u> is defined as the relationship between voltage and current: in a circuit, the voltage accross a conductor is directly proportional to the current.

The constant of proportionality is Resistance, whose unit is ohm (Ω).

so, Ohm's Law is

V = R.I

It is asked for the current, so, rearraging:

I=\frac{V}{R}

When added two more batteries, the voltage of the circuit triples:

V_{final}=3V_{initial}

Since they are directly proportional, if voltage triples, so does current:

I_{final}=3I_{initial}

I_{final}=3(3.0)

I_{final}= 9.0

The new current, when driven by 3 batteries is 9.0 A.

A car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

Fr=\frac {KE}{d} where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N

A train travels 55 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 52 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
bulgar [2K]

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

What travels by vibrating particles? Mechincal Waves or ElecrtoMagnetic Waves.
Naddik [55]

Answer:mechanical waves.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves require the particles of the medium to vibrate in order for energy to be transferred. For example, water waves, earthquake/seismic waves, sound waves, and the waves that travel down a rope or spring are also mechanical waves.
