Hi!! This may sound really silly, but I am confused about resistors and currents. I am wondering how the current can have the sa

me value at any point in a single closed loop if there are resistors in the loop? Surely the resistor would slow the current down at that point in the circuit??
Thank you!!

Yes. True. Resistors slow the current down at the point in the circuit.

Hope it helps you...

A professional golfer hits a golf ball of mass 46 g with her 5-iron, and the ball first strikes the ground 155 m away. The ball

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg

Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s

The drag force, $F_r=Cv^2$

Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.

$Cv^2=mg$

$C=\dfrac{mg}{v^2}$

$C=\dfrac{0.046\times 9.8}{(44)^2}$

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

(a) $4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The distance between the earth and sun is 1.5 x 108 kilometers and the speed of light is 3.00 x 108 meters per second. Calculate

butalik [34]

Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * $10^{8}km$

speed of light = 3* $10^{8}m/s$

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * $10^{8}*1000$ m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * $10^{11}$ m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = $\frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }$

$= 0.5*10^{3}$

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.
