Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the current flowing in each branch of the circuit. Who is correct?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

Answers

Answer:

12.2 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15.6 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (15.6 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 12.2 m

[tex] \LARGE{ \boxed{ \rm{ \green{Answer:}}}}[/tex]

Given,

The initial speed is 15.6 m/s The mass of the ball is 42g = 0.042kg

Finding the initial kinetic energy,

[tex]\large{ \boxed{ \rm{K.E. = \frac{1}{2}m {v}^{2}}}}[/tex]

⇛ KE = (1/2)mv²

⇛ KE = (1/2)(0.042)(15.6)²

⇛ KE = 5.11 J

|| ⚡By conservation of energy, the potential energy at the highest point will also be 5.11 J, since there is no kinetic energy at the highest point because the ball is not moving (we neglect energy lost due to air resistance, heat, sound, etc.) ⚡||

So, we have:

[tex] \large{ \boxed{ \rm{P.E. = mgh}}}[/tex]

⇛ h = PE/(mg)

⇛ h = 5.11 J /(0.042 × 9.8)

⇛ h = 12.41 m

✏The ball will rise upto a height of 12.41 m

A baseball (m=145g) traveling 35 m/s moves a fielder's glove backward 23 cm when the ball is caught. What was the average force exerted by the ball on the glove?

Answers

Answer:

386.13 N

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the baseball is converted into workdone in moving the glove backward( work energy theorem).

Therefore, KE of the ball

[tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2 =\frac{1}{2}(0.145)35^2\\ = 88.81 \text{J}[/tex]

Now, workdone in moving the glove

W= Fd

where F = Force applied, d = displacement of the glove= 0.23 cm.

88.81 = F×0.23

F= 88.81/0.23 = 386.13 N

front wheel drive car starts from rest and accelerates to the right. Knowing that the tires do not slip on the road, what is the direction of the friction force the road applies to the rear tire

Answers

Answer:

The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.

Explanation:

This question suggests that the car is accelerating forward. Thus, the easiest way for us to know what friction is doing is for us to know what happens when we turn friction off.

Now, if there is no friction and the car is stopped, if we push down on the accelerator, it will make the front wheels to spin in a clockwise manner. This spin occurs on the frictionless surface with the rear wheels doing nothing while the car doesn't move.

Now, if we apply friction to just the front wheels, the car will accelerate forward while the back wheels would be dragging along the road and not be spinning. Thus, friction opposes the motion and as such, it must act im a direction opposite to where the car is going. This must be static friction.

The frictional force the road applies to the rear tire is static friction and it acts opposite to the direction in which the car is traveling.

A fish is 80 cm below the surface of a pond. What is the apparent depth (in cm) when viewed from a position almost directly above the fish

Answers

Answer:

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from fish (D) = 80 cm

Find:

Apparent depth (Da)

Computation:

We know that,

Refractive index of water (n2) = 1.33

So,

Apparent depth (Da) = D(n1/n2)

Apparent depth (Da) = 80 (1/1.33)

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

The apparent depth of the fish is 60 cm.

To calculate the apparent depth of the fish, we use the formula below.

Formula:

R.F(water) = Real depth(D)/Apparent depth(D')R.F = D/D'.................... Equation 1

Where:

R.F = Refractive index of water

Make D' The subject of the equation.

D' = D/R.F................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

D = 80 cmR.F = 1.333

Substitute these values into equation 2

D' = 80/1.33D' = 60.01D' = 60 cm

Hence, the apparent depth of the fish is 60 cm

Approximating the eye as a single thin lens 2.70 cmcm from the retina, find the focal length of the eye when it is focused on an object at a distance of 265 cmcm

Answers

Answer:

0.37 cm

Explanation:

The image is formed on the retina which is at a constant distance of 2.70 cm to the lens. Therefore, image distance = 2.70 cm.

The object is at a distant of 265 cm to the lens of the eye.

From lens formula,

[tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{u}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{v}[/tex]

where: f is the focal length, u is the object distance and v is the image distance.

Thus, u = 265.00 cm and v = 2.70 cm.

[tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{265}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{27}{10}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{10+7155}{2650}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{7165}{2650}[/tex]

⇒ f = [tex]\frac{2650}{7165}[/tex]

      = 0.37

The focal length of the eye is 0.37 cm.

The mass (M) of a piece of metal is directly proportional to its volume (V), where the proportionality constant is the density (D) of the metal. (1) Write an equation that represents this direct proportion, in which D is the proportionality constant. The density of lead metal is 11.3 g/cm3. (2) What is the mass of a piece of lead metal that has a volume of 17.3 cm3

Answers

Answer:

1) M = 11.3V2) 195.49 grams

Explanation:

1) If the mass (M) of a piece of metal is directly proportional to its volume (V), where the proportionality constant is the density (D) of the metal, this is expressed mathematically as shown;

M ∝ V

M = kV

For every proportionality sign, there will always be a proportionality constant 'k'

Since the proportionality constant is the density (D) of the metal, the equation will become;

M = DV

Given the density to be 11.3 g/cm3, the equation will become;

M = 11.3V

Hence, the equation that represents this direct proportion, in which D is the proportionality constant with metal density of 11.3g/cm³ is M = 11.3V

2) If the volume of the metal is 17.3cm³, on substituting this values into the equation in (1) to get the mass of the metal, we will have;

M = 11.3V

M = 11.3 * 17.3

M = 195.49 grams

Hence, the mass of a piece of lead metal that has a volume of 17.3 cm³ is 195.49 grams.

Find the moment of inertia of this system, consisting of the platform and its population, with respect to the axis.

Answers

Answer:

The moment of inertia is  [tex]I= 312.09 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  mass of the platform is   m =  137 kg

     The radius is  r  =  1.53 m

    The mass of the person is  [tex]m_p = 68.7 \ kg[/tex]

    The distance of the person from the center is  [tex]d_c =1.19 \ m[/tex]

    The mass of the dog is  [tex]m_d = 25.9 \ kg[/tex]

     The distance of the dog from the person [tex]d_d = 1.45 \ m[/tex]

Generally the moment of inertia of the system is mathematically represented as

      [tex]I = I_1 + I_2 + I_3[/tex]

Where [tex]I_1[/tex] is the moment of inertia of the platform which mathematically represented as

          [tex]I_1 = \frac{m * r^2}{2}[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]I_1 = \frac{ 137 * (1.53)^2}{2}[/tex]

           [tex]I_1 = 160.35 \ kg\cdot m^2[/tex]

Also  [tex]I_2[/tex]  is the moment of inertia of the person about the axis which is mathematically represented as

          [tex]I_2 = m_p * d_c^2[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]I_2 = 68.7 * 1.19^2[/tex]

          [tex]I_2 = 97.29 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]

Also  [tex]I_3[/tex]  is the moment of inertia of the dog about the axis which is mathematically represented as

          [tex]I_3 = m_d * d_d^2[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]I_3 = 25.9 * 1.45^2[/tex]

          [tex]I_3 = 54.45 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]

Thus  

        [tex]I= 160.35 + 97.29 + 54.45[/tex]

        [tex]I= 312.09 \ kg \cdot m^2[/tex]

Water pressurized to 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/2 its former radius. a. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction

Using the Continuity equation

v X A = v' xA'

so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'

after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s

Using the Bernoulli equation

p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂

"A satellite requires 88.5 min to orbit Earth once. Assume a circular orbit. 1) What is the circumference of the satellites orbit

Answers

Answer:

 circumference of the satellite orbit  = 4.13 × 10⁷ m

Explanation:

Given that:

the time period T = 88.5 min = 88.5 × 60  = 5310 sec

The mass of the earth [tex]M_e[/tex] = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

if  the radius of orbit is r,

Then,

[tex]\dfrac{V^2}{r} = \dfrac{GM_e}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]{V^2} = \dfrac{GM_e r}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]{V^2} = \dfrac{GM_e }{r}[/tex]

[tex]{V} =\sqrt{ \dfrac{GM_e }{r}}[/tex]

Similarly :

[tex]T = \sqrt{\dfrac{ 2 \pi r} {V} }[/tex]

where; [tex]{V} =\sqrt{ \dfrac{GM_e }{r}}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]5310= {\dfrac{ 2 \pi r^{3/2}} {\sqrt{ 3.991052 \times 10^{14} }}[/tex]

[tex]5310= {\dfrac{ 2 \pi r^{3/2}} {19977617.48}[/tex]

h=1.05x 10^ 34(2π)=6.597x 10^-34Js

dp=(6.597x10^-34/4pπ)/(1x10^-10)

=5.25x10^-25 Jsm

Determine the next possible thickness of the film (in nm) that will provide the proper destructive interference. The index of refraction of the glass is 1.58 and the index of refraction of the film material is 1.48.

Answers

Answer:

I know the answer

Explanation:

We want to choose the film thickness such that destructive interference occurs between the light reflected from the air-film interface (call it wave 1) and from the film-lens interface (call it wave 2). For destructive interference to occur, the phase difference between the two waves must be an odd multiple of half-wavelengths.

You can think of the phases of the two waves as second hands on a clock; as the light travels, the hands tick-tock around the clock. Consider the clocks on the two waves in question. As both waves travel to the air-film interface, their clocks both tick-tock the same time-no phase difference. When wave 1 is reflected from the air-film boundary, its clock is set forward 30 seconds; i.e., if the hand was pointing toward 12, it's now pointing toward 6. It's set forward because the index of refraction of air is smaller than that of the film.

Now wave 1 pauses while wave two goes into and out of the film. The clock on wave 2 continues to tick as it travels in the film-tick, tock, tick, tock.... Clock 2 is set forward 30 seconds when it hits the film-lens interface because the index of refraction of the film is smaller than that of the lens. Then as it travels back through the film, its clock still continues ticking. When wave 2 gets back to the air-film interface, the two waves continue side by side, both their clocks ticking; there is no change in phase as they continue on their merry way.

So, to recap, since both clocks were shifted forward at the two different interfaces, there was no net phase shift due to reflection. There was also no phase shift as the waves travelled into and out from the air-film interface. The only phase shift occured as clock 2 ticked inside the film.

Call the thickness of the film t. Then the total distance travelled by wave 2 inside the film is 2t, if we assume the light entered pretty much normal to the interface. This total distance should equal to half the wavelength of the light in the film (for the minimum condition; it could also be 3/2, 5/2, etc., but that wouldn't be the minimum thickness) since the hand of the clock makes one revolution for each distance of one wavelength the wave travels (right?).

What is the charge on the dust particle?

Answers

Answer:

The  charge on the dust particle is  [tex]q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  [tex]l = 2.0 \ m[/tex]

    The width is  [tex]w = 4.0 \ m[/tex]

   The charge is  [tex]q = -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C[/tex]

    The mass suspended in mid-air is [tex]m_a = 5.0 \mu g = 5.0 *10^{-6} \ g = 5.0 *10^{-9} \ kg[/tex]

   

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

           [tex]E = \frac{q}{ 2 * A * \epsilon _o}[/tex]

Where [tex]\epsilon _o[/tex] is the permittivity of free space with value [tex]\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12} \ \ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]E = \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 * (2 * 4 ) * 8.85*10^{-12}}[/tex]

           [tex]E = -70621.5 \ N/C[/tex]

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air  equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

        [tex]F__{E}} = F__{G}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]q_d * E = m * g[/tex]

=>      [tex]q_d = \frac{m * g}{E}[/tex]

=>      [tex]q_d = \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}[/tex]

=>     [tex]q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C[/tex]

A speeding car has a velocity of 80 mph; suddenly it passes a cop car but does not stop. When the speeding car passes the cop car, the cop immediately accelerates his vehicle from 0 to 90 mph in 4.5 seconds. The cop car has a maximum velocity of 90 mph. At what time does the cop car meet the speeding car and at what distance?

Answers

Answer:

Distance= 4 miles

Time = 36.3 seconds

Explanation:

80 mph = 178.95 m/s

90 mph = 201.32 m/s

V = u +at

201.32= 0+a(4.5)

201.32/4.5= a

44.738 m/s² = a

Acceleration of the cop car

= 44.738 m/s²

Distance traveled at 4.5seconds

For the cop car

S= ut + ½at²

S= 0(4.5) + ½*44.738*4.5

S= 100.66 meters

Distance traveled at 4.5seconds

For the speeding car

4.5*178.95=805.275

The cop car will still cover 704.675 +x distance while the speeding car covers for their distance to be equal

X/178.95= (704.675+x)/201.32

X-0.89x= 626.37

0.11x= 626.37

X= 5694.3 meters

The time = 5694.3/178.95

Time =31.8 seconds

So the distance they meet

= 5694.3+805.275

= 6499.575 meters

= 4.0 miles

The Time = 4.5+31.8

Time = 36.3 seconds

An electric train operates on 800 V. What is its power consumption when the current flowing through the train's motor is 2,130 A?

Answers

Answer:

1704 kW

Explanation:

To solve for the power consumed by the trains motor we have to employ the formula for power which is

Power= current * voltage

Given that

voltage V= 800 V

current I= 2130 A

Substituting in the formula for power we have

Power= 2130*800=  1704000 watt

Power = 1704 kW

This is the amount of energy consumed, transferred or converted per unit of time

Hence the power consumed  by the trains motor is 1704 kW

The ancient Greek Eratosthenes found that the Sun casts different lengths of shadow at different points on Earth. There were no shadows at midday in Aswan as the Sun was directly overhead. 800 kilometers north, in Alexandria, shadow lengths were found to show the Sun at 7.2 degrees from overhead at midday. Use these measurements to calculate the radius of Earth.

Answers

Answer:

The  radius of the earth is [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance at  Alexandria is  [tex]d_a = 800 \ km = 800 *10^{3} \ m[/tex]

      The angle of the sun is  [tex]\theta = 7.2 ^o[/tex]

So we want to first obtain the circumference of the earth

   So let assume that the earth is  circular ([tex]360 ^o[/tex])

  Now from question we know that the sun made an angle of [tex]7.2 ^o[/tex] so with this we will obtain how many  [tex](7.2 ^o)[/tex]  are in [tex]360^o[/tex]

 i.e    [tex]N = \frac{360}{7.2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]N = 50[/tex]

     With this  value we can evaluate the circumference as

             [tex]c = 50 * 800[/tex]

              [tex]c = 40000 \ km[/tex]

Generally circumference is mathematically represented as

        [tex]c = 2\pi r[/tex]

         [tex]40000 = 2 * 3.142 * r[/tex]

=>        [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]

Consider a series RLC circuit where R=25.0 Ω, C=35.5 μF, and L=0.0940 H, that is driven at a frequency of 70.0 Hz. Determine the phase angle ϕ of the circuit in degrees.

Answers

Answer:

137.69°

Explanation:

The phase angle of an RLC circuit  ϕ is expressed as shoen below;

ϕ = [tex]tan^{-1} \dfrac{X_l-X_c}{R}[/tex]

Xc is the capacitive reactance = 1/2πfC

Xl is the inductive reactance = 2πfL

R is the resistance = 25.0Ω

Given C = 35.5 μF, L = 0.0940 H, and frequency f = 70.0Hz

Xl = 2π * 70*0.0940

Xl = 41.32Ω

For the capacitive reactance;

Xc = 1/2π * 70*35.5*10⁻⁶

Xc = 1/0.0156058

Xc = 64.08Ω

Phase angle ϕ = [tex]tan^{-1} \frac{41.32-64.08}{25} \\\\[/tex]

ϕ = [tex]tan^{-1} \frac{-22.76}{25} \\\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\phi = tan^{-1} -0.9104\\\\\phi = -42.31^0[/tex]

Since tan is negative in the 2nd quadrant;

[tex]\phi = 180-42.31^0\\\\\phi = 137.69^0[/tex]

Hence the phase angle ϕ of the circuit in degrees is 137.69°

The phase angle ϕ of the series RLC circuit that is driven at a frequency of 70.0 Hz is ϕ = 137.69°

Phase angle:

Given that:

capacitance C = 35.5 μF,

Inductance L = 0.0940 H,

The resistance R = 25.0Ω

and frequency f = 70.0Hz

The capacitive reactance is given by:

Xc = 1/2πfC

Xc = 1/2π × 70 × 35.5× 10⁻⁶

Xc = 1/0.0156058

Xc = 64.08Ω

The inductive reactance is given by:

Xl = 2πfL

Xl = 2π × 70 × 0.0940

Xl = 41.32Ω

The phase angle of an RLC circuit ϕ  is given by:

[tex]\phi=tan^{-1}\frac{X_l-X_c}{R}\\\\\phi=tan^{-1}\frac{41.32-64.08}{25}[/tex]

Ф = -42.31°

Since tan is negative in the 2nd quadrant, thus:

ϕ = 180° - 42.31°

ϕ = 137.69°

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, how many counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample?

Answers

Answer:

6000 counts per second

Explanation:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1

In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;

x count per second = 3 meter ... 2

Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter

x counts per second = 3 meter

Cross multiply to get x

2000 * 3 = 1* x

6000 = x

This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample
