If you doubled the load resistor in a Wheatstone bridge, the load current would not be half as much. Why not?

1 answer:

6 0

Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current. Increasing the load resistance, in turn the total circuit resistance is reduced. The load current would not be half as much since when you increase the size of load resistor then load current increases.

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: $0.084 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance $d_1=8.13 km$

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed $v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s$

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

$v_2=v_1+at$

$v_2=5.6+a\times 60$

distance traveled in 60 sec

$d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}$

$d_2=336+1800 a$

time taken in last part of journey

$t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s$

distance traveled in this time

$d_3=v_2\times t_3$

$d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

and total distance $=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$a=0.084 m/s^2$

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other wor

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

v = 16.52 m/s

Part b)

v = 7.47 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

(a) when the large-mass object is the one moving initially

So here we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v$

since this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

$v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v = \frac{(8.4\times 24 + 3.8\times 0)}{3.8 + 8.4}$

$v = 16.52 m/s$

Part b)

(b) when the small-mass object is the one moving initially

here also we can use momentum conservation as the net force on the system of two masses will be zero

so here we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = (m_1 + m_2)v$

Again this is a perfect inelastic collision so after collision both balls will move together with same speed

so here we can say

$v = \frac{(m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i})}{(m_1 + m_2)}$

$v = \frac{(8.4\times 0 + 3.8\times 24)}{3.8 + 8.4}$

$v = 7.47 m/s$

Explain how fossil fuels are turned into useful forms of energy ?

jekas [21]

Fossil fuels like coal for instance , when they are provided with heat energy (heating them) they start producing Kinetic energy . This kinetic energy will be passed along a turbine which transforms this K.E to an electrical energy used in different useful forms.

A 10.0g piece of copper wire, sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 80.0 C. how many Joules are released when the copper c

Zolol [24]

Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C$ is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

$Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J$

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

1. Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere

atroni [7]

1. Earth's moon has no atmosphere because the moon's gravity is too weak to hold onto gas molecules.
2. On the moon, maria are low flat plains. The word maria comes from the Latin word mare, which means sea.
