If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.

1 answer:

7 0

V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.

A ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude

enot [183]

The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity $v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}$ , where $v_0=35 m/s$
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ directed downwards, and with initial velocity $v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}$ . Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

A 25N force is applied to a bar that can pivot around its end. The force is r=0.75 m away from the end of an angle at 0= 30. wha

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for calculating torque τ = Frsin∅ where;

F = applied force (in newton)

r = radius (in metres)

∅ = angle that the force made with the bar.

Given F= 25N, r = 0.75m and ∅ = 30°

torque on the bar τ = 25*0.75*sin30°

τ = 25*0.75*0.5

τ = 9.375Nm

The torque on the bar is 9.375Nm

A uniform 1.4-kg rod that is 0.75 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end of the rod. Both

svetlana [45]

Answer:

7 deg

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the rod = $1.4 kg$

$W$ = weight of the rod = $mg = (1.4) (9.8) = 13.72 N$

$k_{L}$ = spring constant for left spring = $59 Nm^{-1}$

$k_{R}$ = spring constant for right spring = $33 Nm^{-1}$

$x_{L}$ = stretch in the left spring

$x_{R}$ = stretch in the right spring

$L$ = length of the rod = 0.75 m

$\theta$ = Angle the rod makes with the horizontal

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for left spring

$k_{L} x_{L} = (0.5) W\\(59) x_{L} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{L} = 0.116 m$

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for right spring

$k_{R} x_{R} = (0.5) W\\(33) x_{R} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{R} = 0.208 m$

Angle made with the horizontal is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(x_{R} - x_{L})}{L} )\\\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(0.208 - 0.116)}{0.75} )\\\theta = 7 deg$

Among the largest passenger ships currently in use, the Norway has been in service the longest. The Norway is more than 300 m lo

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s$

Explanation:

Mass of the ship (m) = 6.9 × 10⁷ kg

Speed of the ship (v) = 33 km/h

First, let us convert the speed from km/h to m/s using the conversion factor.

We know that, 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s

So, 33 km/h = $33\times \frac{5}{18}=9.17\ m/s$

Now, we know, the momentum of an object only depends on its mass and speed. Momentum is independent of the length of the object.

So, here, length of the ship doesn't play any role in the determination of the momentum.

Magnitude of momentum of the ship = Mass × Speed

= $(6.9\times 10^7\ kg)(9.17\ m/s)$

= $6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore, the magnitude of ship's momentum is $6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s$ .
