An electric heater containing two heating wires X and Y is connected to a power supply of electromotive force(emf) 9.0V and negl

igible internal resistance as shown in fig 6.1
Wire X has a resistance of 2.4 ohm and wire Y has a resistance of 1.2ohm. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the wires. A variable resistor is used to adjust the power dissipated in wires X and Y.

The variable resistor is adjusted so that the voltmeter reads 6.0V.

Calculate the resistance of the variable resistor. ​

Answer:

0.4 ohms.

Explanation:

From the circuit,

The voltage reading in the voltmeter = voltage drop across each of the parallel resistance.

1/R' = 1/R1+1/R2

R' = (R1×R2)/(R1+R2)

R' = (2.4×1.2)/(2.4+1.2)

R' = 2.88/3.6

R' = 0.8 ohms.

Hence the current flowing through the circuit is

I = V'/R'................ Equation 1

Where V' = voltmeter reading

I = 6/0.8

I = 7.5 A

This is the same current that flows through the variable resistor.

Voltage drop across the variable resistor = 9-6 = 3 V

Therefore, the resistance of the variable resistor = 3/7.5

Resistance = 0.4 ohms.

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is 10^{6} Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = 10^{18} kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to 10^{6} cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to  1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = 10^{18} kg/m³

density = 10^{18} kg/m³ × \frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }  Mg/µL

density =  10^{6} Mg/µL

An electric clock is hanging on a wall. As you are watching the second hand rotate, the clock's battery stops functioning, and t
Setler [38]

Answer:

B. W is positive and a is negative

Explanation:

As we know that the angular speed of the second clock is in positive direction so as it comes to halt from its initial direction of motion then we have

initial angular velocity is termed as positive angular velocity

\omega = positive

now it comes to stop so angular acceleration is taken in opposite to the direction of angular speed

so we will have

\alpha = negative

so here correct answer is

B. W is positive and a is negative

Lamar has been running sprints to prepare for his next football game.He has found that he can maintain his maximum speed for 45
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Length of race = 5km

Maximum speed = 45 yards

Converting from yards to kilometer :

1km = 1093.613 yards

x = 45 yards

(1093.613 * x) = 45

x = 45 / 1093.613

x = 0.0411480 km

Where x = maximum length for which he can maintain his maximum speed expressed in kilometers.

Therefore, with the available information, it can be concluded that Lamar cannot maintain his maximum speed for the entire 5km race and will only be able maintain his maximum speed for 0.0411 kilometers.
