Sara and Saba are identical twins who are the same in every way, including their weights. One day, Sara and Saba decided to go f

or a walk in the snow. They got dressed, and then Saba put on her favorite red heels. Meanwhile, Sara, who had always been more practical, put on her snowshoes.
As soon as they stepped out onto the snow, Saba's heels sank right through while Sara had no trouble walking on top of the snow in her snowshoes!

Q1: Why do you think this happened? If Sara and Saba weigh the same and are exactly of the same size, why did Saba fall through the snow while Sara did not?

Q2: Calculate pressure under Sara’s snowshoes.

Q3: How is pressure useful in everyday life? Give an example.

Q4: State the factors affecting pressure.

Q5: How do snowshoes help a person to walk easily on soft snow?

As Saba was wearing high heels they are long from the bottom so they sank however Sana was wearing snow boots which means they were flat and so she didn’t sink.

Answer:

circuit sketched in first attached image.

Second attached image is for calculating the equivalent output resistance

Explanation:

For calculating the output voltage with regarding the first image.

Vout = Vin \frac{R_{2}}{R_{2}+R_{1}}

Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}[/[tex][tex]Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}\\Vout = 5 \frac{2}{5} = 2 V

For the calculus of the equivalent output resistance we apply thevenin, the voltage source is short and current sources are open circuit, resulting in the second image.

so.

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2000||3000 = \frac{2000*3000}{2000+3000} = 1200

Taking into account the %5 tolerance, with the minimal bound for Voltage and resistance.  

if the -5% is applied to both resistors the Voltage is still 5V because the quotient  has 5% / 5% so it cancels. to be more logic it applies the 5% just to one resistor, the resistor in this case we choose 2k but the essential is to show that the resistors usually don't have the same value. applying to the 2k resistor we have:

Vout = 5 \frac{1900}{4900}\\Vout = 5 \frac{19}{49} = 1.93 V

Vout = 5 \frac{2100}{5100}\\Vout = 5 \frac{21}{51} = 2.05 V

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 1900||2850= \frac{1900*2850}{1900+2850} = 1140

R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2100||3150 = \frac{2100*3150 }{2100+3150 } = 1260

so.

V_{out} = {1.93,2.05}V\\R_{1} = {1900,2100}\\R_{2} = {2850,3150}\\R_{out} = {1140,1260}

What is the total flux φ that now passes through the cylindrical surface? enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cyl
trasher [3.6K]

Net flux through the cylindrical surface is given as

\phi = \frac{q}{epsilon_0}

here q = enclosed charge in the surface

so here in order to find the value of q

q = \lambda* L

so now we have

\phi = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}

so this is the total flux

now by Gauss's law we can find the electric field

\int E.dA = \phi

\int E.dA = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}

E* 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda * L}{epsilon_0}

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

<em>by above expression we can find the electric field at required position</em>

If you accidentally touch the "hot" wire connected to the 120 V line, how much current will pass through your body?
Sav [38]
<h2>Complete Question:</h2>

You are on an aluminum ladder that is standing on the ground, trying to fix an electrical connection with a metal screwdriver having a metal handle. Your body is wet because you are sweating from the exertion; therefore, it has a resistance of 1.60 kΩ .

(a) If you accidentally touch the "hot" wire connected to the 120 V line, how much current will pass through your body?

(b) How much electrical power is delivered to your body?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 0.075A

(b) 9W

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The voltage (V) passing across or supplied to a body is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through the body as stated by Ohm's law. i.e

V ∝ I

=> V = I x R                 ----------------------(i)

Where;

R = constant of proportionality called resistance of the body

(a) As stated in the question;

The body is wet and thus will conduct electricity and has the following;

V = voltage supplied = 120V

R = resistance of the wet body = 1.60kΩ = 1.6 x 1000Ω = 1600Ω

Substitute these values into equation(i) as follows;

120 = I x 1600

Solve for I;

I = \frac{120}{1600}

I = 0.075A

Therefore the amount of current that will pass through your body is 0.075A

(b) Electrical power(P), which is commonly measured in Watts(W), delivered to a body is the product of the current(I) and voltage (V) supplied to the body. i.e

P = I x V           ---------------------(ii)

Where;

I = 0.075A   [as calculated above]

V = 120V     [given in the question]

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

P = 0.075 x 120

P = 9W

Therefore, the electric power delivered to your body is 9W

Lerok [7]

Answer:

0.0000045 s

Explanation:

f = Frequency = 8 MHz

Clock cycle is given by

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{8\times 10^6}=1.25\times 10^{-7}\ s

Time taken for 12 clock cycles

12\times 1.25\times 10^{-7}=0.0000015\ s

Time taken per instruction is 0.0000015 s

In reading and displaying information it requires 3 processes

1 for reading, 1 for searching and 1 for displaying.

3\times 0.0000015=0.0000045\ s

Time taken is 0.0000045 s
