What is an electric circuit is and why/how an electric switch is able to stop and start

Physics
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A continuous and closed path of an electric current is called an electric circuit. An electric circuit consists of electric devices, a source of electricity and wires that are connected with the help of a switch.

Explanation:

All switches do the same thing: Connect wires to allow electric current to flow or disconnect wires to stop electric current from flowing. ... With the switch in the closed position, you've connected the wire (and completed the circuit), and current can flow.

A sound wave is determined to have a frequency of 1,000 Hz and a wavelength of 35 cm. What is the speed of this wave? If the sou
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

350 m/s

31°C

Explanation:

Speed of sound is given as the product of frequency and wavelength

S=fw

Where s represent the speed in m/s, f is frequency and w is wavelength

Conversion

Taking 1m to be 100 cm then 35 cm will be 35/100=0.35m

Substituting 0.35 m for w and 1000 Hz for f then

S=1000*0.35=350 m/s

speed of sound (m/s) = 331.5 + 0.60 T(°C)

350=331.5+0.6T

T=30.833333333333

The temperature is approximately 31°C

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

57.885.8 kg   weight of the container

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon * density of water = buoyant force of balloon

 volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi r^3

                                   = 4/3 pi * (1.5)^3 = 14.14 m^3   <===balloon volume

Now,   find the buoyant force on the container ALONE ....

             5.8 * 2.6 * 2.8  * 1027  = 43 364  kg   <=====  buoyant force

Now add the buoyant force of the balloon to find the weight

             43 364  +   14.14 * 1027 = 57885.8   kg

a concrete cube of side 0.50 m and uniform density 2.0 x 103 kg m–3 is lifted 3.0 m vertically by a crane. what is the change in
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 7350 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of cube, a = 0.5 m

Density of cube, d=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

The cube is lifted vertically by a crane to a height of 3 m

We know that, density d=\dfrac{m}{V}

So, m = d × V  (V = volume of cube = a³)

m=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3\times (0.5\ m)^3

m = 250 kg

We have to find the change in potential energy of the cube. At ground level, the potential energy is equal to 0.

Potential energy at height h is given by :

PE=mgh

PE = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s² ×3 m

PE = 7350 Joules

So, change in potential energy of the cube is 7350 Joules.
