Answer:
Total resistance of the circuit is 270.4 ohm

Explanation:
We are given that:
resistance of wire = 0.4 ohm
resistance of bulb = 150 ohm
resistance of rheostat = 120 ohm

We are also given that these components are connected in series. This means that the total resistance is summation of all the series components.

Therefore
Total resistance = 0.4 + 150 + 120 = 270.4 ohm

Hope this helps :)

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Speed of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of momentum

mv_o=m(v_1 + v_2) where m is the mass, v_o is the initial speed before impact, v_1 and v_2 are velocity of the impacting object after collision and velocity after impact of the originally constant object

5m=m(v_1 +v_2)

Therefore v_1+v_2=5

After collision, kinetic energy doubles hence

2m*(0.5mv_o)=0.5m(v_1^{2}+v_2^{2})

2v_o^{2}=v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

Substituting 5 m/s for v_o then

2*(5^{2})= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

50= v_1^{2} + v_2^{2}

Also, it’s known that v_1+v_2=5 hence v_1=5-v_2

50=(5-v_2)^{2}+ v_2^{2}

50=25+v_2^{2}-10v_2+v_2^{2}

2v_2^{2}-10v_2-25=0

Solving the equation using quadratic formula where a=2, b=-10 and c=-25 then v_2=6.83 m/s

Substituting, v_1=-1.83 m/s

Therefore, the blocks move at a speed of 1.83 m/s and 6.83 m/s

For a given initial projectile speed Vo, calculate what launch angle A gives the longest range R. Show your work, don't just quo
pickupchik [31]
The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height. 

<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>

<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>

<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>

<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>

<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>

<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>

<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>

<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>

<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>

A proton moves along the x-axis with vx=1.0×107m/s. As it passes the origin, what are the strength and direction of the magnetic
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Magnetic field will be ZERO at the given position

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field due to moving charge is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 qv sin\theta}{4\pi r^2}

so here we know that for the direction of magnetic field we will use

\hat B = \hat v \times \hat r

so we have

\hat B = \hat i \times (\hat i + 0\hat j + 0\hat k)

so magnetic field must be ZERO

So whenever charge is moving along the same direction where the position vector is given then magnetic field will be zero

Two large non-conducting plates of surface area A = 0.25 m 2 carry equal but opposite charges What is the energy density of the
Stells [14]

Answer:

5.1*10^3 J/m^3

Explanation:

Using E = q/A*eo

And

q =75*10^-6 C

A = 0.25

eo = 8.85*10^-12

Energy density = 1/2*eo*(E^2) = 1/2*eo*(q/A*eo)^2 = [q^2] / [2*(A^2)*eo]

= [(75*10^-6)^2] / [2*(0.25)^2*8.85*10^-12]

= 5.1*10^3 J/m^3
