An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons.

How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half
beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

I=\frac{V}{R}

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: V'=\frac{V}{2}

So, the new current will be

I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.

A 150 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magn
xenn [34]

Answer:

T = 2010 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the uniform beam = 150 kg

Force of gravity acting on the beam at its center is given as

W = mg

W = 150 x 9.8

W = 1470 N

T = Tension force in the wire

θ = angle made by the wire with the horizontal =  47° deg

L = length of the beam

From the figure,

AC = L

BC = L/2

From the figure, using equilibrium of torque about point C

T (AC) Sin47 = W (BC)

T L Sin47 = W (L/2)

T Sin47 = W/2

T Sin47 = 1470

T = 2010 N
