At what rate is thermal energy being generated in the 2R-resistor when  = 12 V and R = 3.0 ?

1 answer:

8 0

If there's nothing else connected to the battery except the 3-ohm resistor, then the question is defective and the correct answer is not on the list.

With 12v connected across the resistor, the current through the resistor is

I = (E/R) = (12/3) = 4 Amperes.

The power generated inside a resistor is

P = (E x I) = (12v) x (4 A) = 48 watts

A 30 kg student drops down from the monkey bars. The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. Neglecting air drag, what is the

Sholpan [36]

The net force on the student is A) -294 N

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, there is only one force acting on the student: the force of gravity, which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the student

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the student

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, where the negative sign means the direction is downward

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the student:

$F=(30)(-9.8)=-294 N$

And since this is the only force acting on the student, it is also the net force on him.

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110

Verizon [17]

The car's rate of acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²

Using equations, determine the temperature, pressure and density of the air for a aircraft flying at 19.5 km. Is this aircraft s

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a) - 72.5°c

b) pressure = 3625.13 Pa

c) density = 0.063 kg/m^3

d) it is a subsonic aircraft

Explanation:

a) Determine Temperature

Temperature at 19.5 km ( 19500 m )

T = -131 + ( 0.003 * altitude in meters )

= -131 + ( 0.003 * 19500 ) = - 72.5°c

b) Determine pressure and density at 19.5 km altitude

Given :

Po (atmospheric pressure at sea level ) = 101kpa

R ( gas constant of air ) = 0.287 KJ/Kgk

T = -72.5°c ≈ 200.5 k

pressure = 3625.13 Pa

hence density = 0.063 kg/m^3

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

C) determine if the aircraft is subsonic or super sonic

Velocity ( v ) = $\sqrt{CRT}$ = $\sqrt{1.4*287*200.5 }$ = 283.8 m/s

hence it is a subsonic aircraft

Two particles with oppositely signed charges are held a fixed distance apart. The charges are equal in magnitude and they exert

damaskus [11]

Answer:

the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

Explanation:

The initial electric force between the two charges is:

$F = k \frac{q\cdot q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of each charge

r is their separation

Later, half of one charge is transferred to the other charge; this means that one charge will have a charge of

$q+\frac{q}{2}=\frac{3}{2}q$

while the other charge will be

$q-\frac{q}{2}=\frac{q}{2}$

So, the new force will be

$F' = k \frac{(\frac{q}{2})\cdot (\frac{3}{2}q)}{r^2}=\frac{3}{4} (k\frac{q\cdot q}{r^2})=\frac{3}{4}F$

So, the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.
