C. Series

Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,

If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R

Which statement about the atomic nucleus is correct? a. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons and has a negative charge. b
Anon25 [30]
"b. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons and has a positive charge" is the only option that is true about the atomic nucleus. The protons give it a positive charge.

Identify and define the four major forms of matter, explain how melting, freezing, boiling,
mina [271]

There are four forms of matter: Solid, Liquid, gas and Plasma and matter undergoes various state changes termed as melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation and deposition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solids

A matter that have a definite shape because of its closely packed molecular structure; are known as Solids. It can be identified as they have a definite shape and cannot flow or float without external forces are applied.

Liquids

These have a an internal molecular structure with comparatively more spaces with one another. Liquids have a property to flow and change shape according to the container it is taken.

Gases

The internal molecular structure of gases has the widest range of space among one another and thus they have a floating property because of least density.

Plasma

A complete ionized gas which has equal amount of positively and negatively charged ions. The best example of plasma is a plasma-ball.

<u>Phase transformation among the four forms of matter</u>

<u>Melting</u>

A matter changing from a solid phase to liquid phase is known as melting. Ex: Ice into water

<u>Freezing</u>

A matter changing from liquid to solid is known as freezing.

<u>Boiling</u>

When the liquid is heated to its boiling point, this gets transformed into the state of gas where liquid's pressure equals to the external pressure.

<u>Evaporation</u>

Once the liquid reached the temperature range above the boiling point ad starts converting into vapours or gaseous state.

<u>Condensation</u>

When the gases changes from the gaseous phase to liquid phase, this is called condensation.

<u>Sublimation</u>

The change of solid into gas is called as sublimation.

<u>Deposition</u>

Deposition refers the thermodynamic process where phase transition takes place as the gas solidifies without passing through the liquid phase. An example: the process of converting water vapour from frozen air directly into ice without initially becoming a liquid.

What is the SPEED of a ball that travels 120 m in 6s?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

20m/second

Explanation:

The reason the answer is 20m/second is because to find the speed of the ball  in this question you have to divide the distance over the time giving you the result of 20m/second
