The load across a 120-V power supply consists of three resistances are R1 = 10 Ω, R2 = 30 Ω, and R3 is unknown. If R2 has a diff

erence of potential of 45 V across it, find the other voltage drops across the other resistors, the current through each resistor, and R3.

Given R2’s resistance and voltage we can find the current through it of 1.5 amps. Due to Kirchhoff’s junction rule the current going in must match the current going out so the current through them all is 1.5 amps. Using this we can find the voltage through R1 of 15v. Then we subtract V1+V2 from 120 to find that R3 has a voltage of 60v. Next we find that R3 has a resistance of 40 ohms

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

New pressure of the gas increases by 26.5% with respect to initial pressure, new volume decreases 27% with respect to initial volume and new temperature decreases 8% with respect to initial volume.

Explanation:

If we assume the gas is a perfect gas we can use the perfect gas equation:

PV=nRT

  • For Isothermal process:

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}(1)

Where subscripts 1 shows before the isothermal process and 2 after it, because isothermal means constant temperature T1=T2, and pressure increases by 10% means P2=1,1*P1, using these facts on (1) we have:

V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}}{1.1} (2)

  • For Isobaric process:

\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}=\frac{P_{3}V_{3}}{T_{3}} (3)

Where subscripts 2 shows before the isobaric process and 3 after it, because isobaric means constant pressure P2=P3, and volume decreases by 20% means V3=0.8*V2, using these facts on (3) we have:

T_{3}=0.8T_{2} (4)

  • For Isochoric process:

\frac{P_{3}V_{3}}{T_{3}}=\frac{P_{4}V_{4}}{T_{4}} (5)

Where subscripts 3 shows before the isochoric process and 4 after it, because isochoric means constant volume V3=V4, and temperature increases by 15% means T4=1.15*T3, using these facts on (5) we have:

P_{4}=1.15P_{3} (6)

So now because P4=1.15*P3, P2=P3 and P2=1.1*P1:

P_{4}=1.15*1.1P_{1}=1.265P1

This is, the new pressure of the gas increases by 26.5%  with respect to initial pressure.

Similarly, we have V3=V4, V3=0.8*V2 and V1=1,1*V2:

V_{4}=\frac{0.8}{1.1}V_{1}=0.72V1

so the final volume decreases 27% with respect to initial volume.

T4=1,15*T3, T3=0.8*T2 and T1=T2:

T_{4}=1.15*0.8T_{1}=0.92T1

The new temperature decreases 8% with respect to initial volume.

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de
kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

How could rescue workers use squeezing or compressing to get energy to their flashlights during rescue missions?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

During rescue missions, different types of energy can be devices for flashlight, this could be human powered energy such as squeezing or compressing. In flashlight electrical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.

A squeezing or compressing to get energy for flashlight can be regarded as "DYNAMO PROCESS" it involves spinning of "fly wheels" into the flashlight through consistent squeezing ,which is connected to a dynamo(Dynamo supply electrical current). Hence the needed light is seen on the bulb of the flashlight.

What three things are needed for a mechanical wave
dedylja [7]

Featured snippet from the web

Mechanical waves move energy through a medium by vibrating particles. Mechanical waves can't move energy through a vacuum because there is no matter inside of a vacuum. The three types of mechanical waves are transverse waves, surface waves, and longitudinal waves.
