Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are

connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is.
Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer

The Value of r = 0.127

Explanation:

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in series is

$R_T = R_1 +R_2$

And from Ohm law

$I_s =\frac{ V}{R_T}$

$I_s = \frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2} ---(1)$

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in parallel is

$R_T = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}$

$= \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 +R_2}$

From the question $I_p =10I_s$

=> $I_p =10I_s = \frac{V_0 }{\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 +R_2} } = \frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}---(2)$

Dividing equation 2 with equation 1

=> $\frac{10I_s}{I_s} =\frac{\frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}}{\frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2}}$

$10 = \frac{(R_1+R_2)^2}{R_1 R_2}----(3)$

We are told that $r = \frac{R_1}{R_2} \ \ \ \ \ = > R_1 = rR_2$

From equation 3

$10 = \frac{(1-r)^2}{r}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 1+r^2 + 2r = 10r$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r^2 -8r+1 = 0$

Using the quadratic formula

$r =\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac)} }{2a}$

a = 1 b = -8 c =1

$= \frac{8 \pm\sqrt{((-8)^2- (4*1*1))} }{2*1}$

$r= \frac{8+ \sqrt{60} }{2} \ or \ r = \frac{8 - \sqrt{60} }{2}$

$r = \ 7.87\ or \ r \ = \ 0.127$

Now r = 0.127 because it is the least value among the obtained values

Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × $10^{-8}$ s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × $10^{8}$

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × $10^{8}$ m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × $10^{-8}$ × 0.8 × 3 × $10^{8}$

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 51.0 mm in height and 42.0 mm in diameter. Determine the density of the material

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

14160 kg/m^3

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the cylinder.

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

$V=\pi r^2 h$

where:

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{42.0 mm}{2}=21.0 mm=0.021 m$ is the radius

$h=51.0 mm=0.051 m$ is the height

Substituting, we find

$V=\pi (0.021 m)^2 (0.051 m)=7.1 \cdot 10^{-5} m^3$

And the density is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where m = 1 kg is the mass. Substituting, we find

$d=\frac{1 kg}{7.1\cdot 10^{-5} m^3}=14,160 kg/m^3$

Driving your Ferrari through the Italian countryside at a speedy 88 m/s, you approach an opera diva singing a high C (1,046 Hz).

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

You will hear the note E₆

Explanation:

We know that:

Your speed = 88m/s

Original frequency = 1,046 Hz

Sound speed = 340 m/s

The Doppler effect says that:

$f' = \frac{v \pm v0 }{v \mp vs}*f$

Where:

f = original frequency

f' = new frequency

v = velocity of the sound wave

v0 = your velocity

vs = velocity of the source, in this case, the source is the diva, we assume that she does not move, so vs = 0.

Replacing the values that we know in the equation we have:

$f' = \frac{340 m/s + 88m/s}{340 m/s} *1,046 Hz = 1,316.73 Hz$

This frequency is close to the note E₆ (1,318.5 Hz)

(b) Figure 4 shows a car travelling on a motorway.

Alik [6]

Answer:

To calculate anything - speed, acceleration, all that - we need <em>data</em>. The more data we have, and the more accurate that data is, the more accurate our calculations will be. To collect that data, we need to <em>measure </em>it somehow. To measure anything, we need tools and a method. Speed is a measure of distance over time, so we'll need tools for measuring <em>time </em>and <em>distance</em>, and a method for measuring each.

Conveniently, the lamp posts in this problem are equally spaced, and we can treat that spacing as our measuring stick. To measure speed, we'll need to bring time in somehow too, and that's where the stopwatch comes in. A good method might go like this:

Press start on the stopwatch right as you pass a lamp post
Each time you pass another lamp post, press the lap button on the stopwatch
Press stop after however many lamp posts you'd like, making sure to hit stop right as you pass the last lamp post
Record your data
Calculate the time intervals for passing each lamp post using the lap data
Calculate the average of all those invervals and divide by 40 m - this will give you an approximate average speed

Of course, you'll never find an *exact* amount, but the more data points you have, the better your approximation will become.

A box of mass 3kg is lifted 1.5m onto a shelf. Calculate the change in its gravitational potential energy. The gravitational fie

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy is 45 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3 kg

Distance = 1.5 m

Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy

Using formula of gravitational potential energy

$Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =gravitational\ field\ strength\times mass\times distance$

Put the value into the formula

$Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =10\times3\times1.5$

$Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =45\ J$

Hence, The change in gravitational potential energy is 45 J.
