Answer:

A, 0.59A

Explanation:

The total resistance in the circuit is the resistances in parallel plus that in series.

Total resistance for those in parallel is;

1/(1/4 +1/6 +1/10) = 1/ (15+10+6 /60)

1/(31/60)= 60/31 ohms

Hence total resistance of the circuit is;

60/31 + 2 = (60+62)/31 = 122/31=3.94 ohms

To calculate the current flowing through the 10ohm resistance we need to know the voltage drop by subtracting the voltage drop in the 2ohm resistance from the total voltage drop.

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance is;

Current on the 2 ohm resistor × 2 ohms

V = I ×R ; I - current

R - resistance

Current drop on the 2ohm resistance is;

Total voltage in the circuit/ total resistance in the circuit

12/3.94= 3.05A

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance;

3.05 × 2 = 6.10volts

Hence voltage drop on the parallel resistance would be ;

12-6.10= 5.90V

Now voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same hence 5.90v is dropped in each of the parallel resistance.

That said, the current drop on the 10 ohm resistor would be;

5.90/10 = 0.59A

Remember V= I× R so that I = V/R

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is $14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}$ , where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

W = $\int_{0}^{0.54} F dx$

= $\int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx$

= $[14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}$

= 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

= 7653.31 J

or, = 7.65 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

In an isolated system, the total heat given off by warmer substances equals the total heat energy gained by cooler substances. N

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The temperature of the cooler substance was close to the room temperature. Therefore, the system experienced less change

Explanation:

Generally, in a closed system containing two bodies at different temperatures, there is a flow of heat energy from the body at a higher temperature to the body at a lower temperature. The effect is more significant when there is a large temperature difference between the bodies. However, if the temperature difference is small or insignificant, the change will be less.

What is the binding energy (in J/mol or kJ/mol) of an electron in a metal whose threshold frequency for photoelectrons is 2.50 u

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

binding energy is 99771 J/mol

Exlanation:

given data

threshold frequency = 2.50 × $10^{14}$ Hz

solution

we get here binding energy using threshold frequency of the metal that is express as

$E=h\nu_{o}$ ..................1

here E is the energy of electron per atom $E=\frac{x}{N}$ and h is plank constant i.e. $6.626\times10^{-34} Js$ and x is binding energy

and here N is the Avogadro constant = $6.023\times10^{23}$

so E will $\frac{x}{6.023\times10^{23}}$

E = $3.19\times10^{-19} J$

so put value in equation 1 we get

$\frac{x}{6.023\times10^{23}}$ = 2.50 × $10^{14}$ × $6.626\times10^{-34} Js$

solve it we get

x = 99770.99

so binding energy is 99771 J/mol

When a resistor with resistance R is connected to a 1.50-V flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 W of electrical powe

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

4.41 W

Explanation:

P = IV, V = IR

P = V² / R

Given that P = 0.0625 when V = 1.50:

0.0625 = (1.50)² / R

R = 36

So the resistor is 36Ω.

When the voltage is 12.6, the power consumption is:

P = (12.6)² / 36

P = 4.41

So the power consumption is 4.41 W.

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NBA$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2$

$\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2$

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

$\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Put the value into the formula

$\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

$\epsilon =IR$

$IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}$

$Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

$Idt=dq$

$dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

$dq=C dV$

$dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}$

Put the value into the formula

$dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}$

$dV=1.57\ V$

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.
