Build a second circuit with a battery and a light bulb but this time add a switch. Your circuit might look something like the on

e at right. When a switch is open in a circuit, it means the two ends are disconnected and current cannot flow between them. When a switch is closed in a circuit, it means the two ends are connected and current can flow between them. Play with the switch to check how it affects the flow of current. With the switch closed, compare the brightness of the bulb and the flow of current in this circuit, with that of your first circuit. Did increasing the length of wire in the circuit change the brightness of the bulb or the curr

Answer:

the resistance of the wire has no effect on the brightness of the bulb.

Explanation:

Let's apply ohm's law for your light bulb circuit plus wires plus switch

             V = I R_{bulb} + I R_ {wire}

the current in a series circuit is constant

             V = I (R_{bulb} + R_{wire})

To know the effect of the wires on the brightness of the bulb, we must look for the value of the typical resistance of these elements.

Incandescent bulb

Power 60 W

let's use the power ratio

            P = V I = V2 / R

            R = V2 / P

the voltage value for this power is V = 120 V

            R = 120 2/60

            R_bulb = 240 Ω

Resistance of a 14 gauge copper wire (most used), we look for it on the internet

            R = 8.45 Ω/ km

in a laboratory circuit approximately 2 m is used, so the resistance of our cable is

            R = 8.45 10⁻³ 2

            R_wire = 0.0169 Ω

let's buy the two resistors

            R_{bulb} = 240

            R_{wire} = 0.0169

            \frac{R_{bulb} }{R_{wire} } = \frac{240 }{ 0.0169}

              \frac{ R_{bulb} }{ R_{wire} } = 1.4 \ 10^4

therefore resistance of the bulb is much greater than that of the wire, therefore almost all the power is dissipated in the bulb.

In summary, the resistance of the wire has no effect on the brightness of the bulb.

Air conditioners operate on the same principle as refrigerators. Consider an air conditioner that has 7.00 kg of refrigerant flo
kozerog [31]

Answer:

5.15J

Explanation:

First. 54% of the 7kg refrigerant is liquid

So we find mass of vapour at inlet generator

M1 = ( 1-0.54)*7= 3.2kg

At compressor mass of vapour will be

M2= 0.95*7= 6.7kg

So the Mass of vapour at exit generator is

M2-M1= 3.5kg

So to find heat absorbed by refrigerant in evaporation

Its using

Q= mh

°= 3.5x 1.50×10^5 J/kg

=5.15J

action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction then why do they not balance each other.​
NeX [460]

Answer:

Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don’t cancel each other out.

A 4.04 kg block slides down a smooth, frictionless plane having an inclination of 30◦. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

What a lot of words to solve such a simple problem! The perpendicular force is the one that is pushing straight down on the plane. There is no side to side movement here or friction acting on this dimension at all. Perpendicular force is the same as the weight of the block. That's it! Perpendicular force is also normal force which is the same thing as weight:

w = mg so

w = (4.04)(9.8) and

w = 4.0 × 10¹ N
