Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).

Consider f(x) = -4x2 + 24x + 3. Determine whether the function has a maximum or minimum value. Then find the

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3) = 39$

Explanation:

Find the first derivative of the function for the inflection point, then equal to zero and solve for x

$f(x)' = -4*2x + 24=0$

$-4*2x + 24=0$

$8x=24$

$x=3$

Now find the second derivative of the function and evaluate at x = 3.

If $f (3) ''< 0$ the function has a maximum

If $f (3) '' >0$ the function has a minimum

$f(x)''= 8$

Note that:

$f(3)''= -8$

the function has a maximum in $x=3$

The maximum is:

$f(3)=-4(3)^2+24(3) + 3\\\\f(3) = 39$

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th

Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

$E_i = E_f$

$0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

$h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}$

$v_f = 1.8486m/s$

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s
