Answer:

Ohm's Law says

V=I⋅R.

A bit of algebra says

I=VR So V= 110V 25 Ω=4.4VΩ=A

I hope this helps,

A series LR circuit contains an emf source of 19 V having no internal resistance, a resistor, a 22 H inductor having no apprecia

masha68 [24]

Answer: R = 394.36ohm

Explanation: In a LR circuit, voltage for a resistor in function of time is given by:

$V(t) = \epsilon. e^{-t.\frac{L}{R} }$

ε is emf

L is indutance of inductor

R is resistance of resistor

After 4s, emf = 0.8*19, so:

$0.8*19 = 19. e^{-4.\frac{22}{R} }$

$0.8 = e^{-\frac{88}{R} }$

$ln(0.8) = ln(e^{-\frac{88}{R} })$

$ln(0.8) = -\frac{88}{R}$

$R = -\frac{88}{ln(0.8)}$

R = 394.36

In this LR circuit, the resistance of the resistor is 394.36ohms.

Adhira loves to ride her bike around the neighborhood. She starts riding 1.2 miles at 30° S of E. Then, she rides another 2.0 mi

zepelin [54]

Answer:

D = 1.8677 miles , θ = 24.28º at South of West

Explanation:

This is an exercise in adding vectors, the easiest way to solve them is to decompose the vectors and add each component algebraically. Let's use trigonometry

first displacement. d = 1.2 miles to 30º south of East

cos ( 360-30) = cos (-30) = x₁ / d

sin (-30) = y₁ / d

x₁ = d cos (-30)

y₁ = d sin (-30)

x₁ = 1.2 cos (-30) = 1,039 miles

y₁ = 1.2 sin (-30) = -0.6 miles

second shift. d = 2.0 miles to 20º West of South

cos (270-20) = x₂ / d

cos (250) = y₂ / d

x₂ = 2.0 cos 250 = -0.684 miles

y₂ = 2.0 sin250 = -1.879 miles

Third displacement. d = 1.6 miles to 30º South of West

cos (180 + 30) = x₃ / d

sin (210) = y₃ / d

x₃ = 1.6 cos 210 = -1.3856 miles

y₃ = 1.6 sin 210 = -0.8 miles

Fourth displacement. d = 2.6 miles to 15º West of North

cos (90 + 15) = x₄ / d

sin (105) = y₄ / d

x₄ = 2.6 cos 105 = -0.6729 miles

y₄ = 2.6 sin 105 = 2,511 miles

having all the components we add

x-axis (West-East direction)

X = x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + x₄

X = 1.039 -0.684 - 1.3846 - 0.6729

X = -1.7025 miles

Y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃ + y₄

Y = -0.6 -1.879 -0.8 +2.511

Y = -0.768

The modulus of this displacement is we use the Pythagorean theorem

D = √ (X² + Y²)

D = √ (1.7025² + 0.768²)

D = 1.8677 miles

let's use trigonometry to find the direction

tan θ = Y / X

θ = tan⁻¹ Y / x

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.768 / 1.7025)

θ = 24.28º

as the two components are negative this angle is in the third quadrant

therefore in cardinal direction form is

θ = 24.28º at South of West

Do houses use parallels or series circuits

Vilka [71]

Every electrical outlet in your house, and every device or appliance that's
plugged into an outlet, are all in parallel. It's also most likely that all of yours
are in parallel with all the outlets, devices, and appliances in the homes or
apartments of a few of your neighbors.

The only things in your home that are connected in series are the switches
that turn things on and off.

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 5100 MJ with respect to Eart

serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,

$E_{initial} = E_{final}$

$PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} = PE_{final}+KE_{final}$

Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that

$KE_{final} = (PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} )-PE_{final}$

$KE_{final} = (5100+4200)-5700$

$KE_{final} = 3600MJ$

Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
