You have a device that needs a voltage reference of 3.0 V, but you have only a 9.0 V battery. Fortunately, you also have several

10 k!1 resistors. Show how you can use the resistors and the battery to make a circuit that provides a potential difference of3.0 V.

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution:

- We are to develop a circuit that has an input of available battery 9.0 V and has an output potential difference of 3.0 V

- We are given:

             Battery ..... 9.0 V

             Resistors ... 10 Kohms

- We will develop a potential divider circuit by placing a few resistors in series and then connecting in between resistors to get our desired voltage.

- How many resistors should we use ?

  We know that if we add series resistance in a circuit the current decreases proportionally. However, the potential difference across resistors also changes.

- Our desired voltage is a ratio of input battery voltage.

                                   Input / Output = 9 / 3 = 3

We can use this ratio as the number of "Identical resistors" that can be placed in series to give us the desired voltage. Note: This would not be true if we did not had any identical resistors.

- We will place 3, 10 Kohms resistors in series.

- To verify we will calculate the potential difference across each resistor. The current of the total circuit is:

                                   I = V / R_eq

                                   R_eq = 3*R = 30 kohms

                                   I = 9 / 30,000 = 0.0003 Amps

- Now the potential difference for each resistor:

                                   V = I*R_each

                                   V = 0.0003*(10,000)

                                   V = 3.0 V

- We can take two leads across any 10 kohms resistor and the potential difference across the leads would be the desired voltage 3.0 V.

Given Information:

Input voltage = Vin = 9 V

Resistors = R = 10 kΩ each

Output voltage = Vout = 3 V

Required Information:

How many 10 kΩ resistors would it take = ?

Answer:

It would take three 10 kΩ resistors

Explanation:

We can make a voltage divider circuit that contains 3 resistors in series each having a value of 10 kΩ that will provide the desired voltage of 3 V.

Vout = Vin(R/Req)

If we choose 3 resistors of 10 kΩ each

Req = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 kΩ

Vout = 9(10/30)

Vout = 9(1/3)

Vout = 3 V

Therefore, we would need three 10 kΩ resistors to get the desired voltage of 3 V.

On an amusement park ride, passengers are seated in a horizontal circle of radius 7.5 m. The seats begin from rest and are unifo
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the rate of change of the angular acceleration, and as the seats begin from rest, we can get the value of the angular acceleration, as follows:

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

⇒ ωf = α*t ⇒ α = \frac{wf}{t} = \frac{1.4 rad/s}{21 s} = 0.067 rad/s2

The angular velocity, and the linear speed, are related by the following expression:

v = ω*r

Applying the definition of linear acceleration (tangential acceleration in this case) and angular acceleration, we can find a similar relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r⇒ a = 0.067 rad/sec²*7.5 m = 0.5 m/s²

:<span>  </span><span>30.50 km/h = 30.50^3 m / 3600s = 8.47 m/s 

At the top of the circle the centripetal force (mv²/R) comes from the car's weight (mg) 

So, the net downward force from the car (Fn) = (weight - centripetal force) .. and by reaction this is the upward force provided by the road .. 

Fn = mg - mv²/R 
Fn = m(g - v²/R) .. .. 1800kg (9.80 - 8.47²/20.20) .. .. .. ►Fn = 11 247 N (upwards) 
(b) 
When the car's speed is such that all the weight is needed for the centripetal force .. then the net downward force (Fn), and the reaction from the road, becomes zero. 

ie .. mg = mv²/R .. .. v² = Rg .. .. 20.20m x 9.80 = 198.0(m/s)²

A 13,000-N vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. What force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter pis
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴  = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N

A square loop of wire with initial side length 10 cm is placed in a magnetic field of strength 1 T. The field is parallel to the
Fofino [41]

Answer:

2 x 10⁻³ volts

Explanation:

B = magnetic of magnetic field parallel to the axis of loop = 1 T

\frac{dA}{dt} = rate of change of area of the loop = 20 cm²/s = 20 x 10⁻⁴ m²

θ = Angle of the magnetic field with the area vector = 0

E = emf induced in the loop

Induced emf is given as

E = B \frac{dA}{dt}

E = (1) (20 x 10⁻⁴ )

E = 2 x 10⁻³ volts

E = 2 mV
