Answer:

By ‘inserting’ you means to putting a resistor in series. In this case, no, there is no resistance that would produce the same effect as a short circuit.

If you adding a resistor in parallel with the circuit, then if it had a low value It might be similar to a short circuit. I

State coulomb's law mathematically

Vsevolod [243]

Coulomb's law is express as:

$\begin{gathered} F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \\ \text{ where} \\ k\text{ is Coulomb's constant} \\ q_1\text{ and }q_2\text{ are the charges} \\ r\text{ is the distance between charges} \end{gathered}$

Water is discharged from a pipeline at a velocity v (in ft/sec) given by v = 1306p(1/2), where p is the pressure (in psi). If th

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

$acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\$ .

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

$\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\$

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

$a=653*0.1667*0.354\\$

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\ a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, $E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

Explanation:

Charge, $q=9.4\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Potential, V = 50 V

It is required to find the electric potential energy in a capacitor stored in it. The formula of the electric potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}qV\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.4\times 10^{-10}\times 50\\\\E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

So, the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is $2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J$

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?

AysviL [449]

Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.
