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 :)

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is
Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

F = AY\alpha \Delta T

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

\alpha= Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

\Delta T= Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

A = 4.45cm^2

T = 37K

\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}

Y = 200*10^9Gpa

Replacing we have,

F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)

F = 38526.1N

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.

The sound level at 1.0 m from a certain talking person talking is 60 dB. You are surrounded by five such people, all 1.0 m from
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

66.98 db

Explanation:

We know that

L_T=L_S+10log(n)

L_T= Total signal level in db

n= number of sources

L_S= signal level from signal source.

L_T=60+10 log(5)

= 66.98 db

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels

Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?
VARVARA [1.3K]

The one that is loaded worst. The overall weight is not important; tongue weight is a matter of loading. Our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer, which has stops to position the cat properly, has under 100 lbs tongue weight. Excessive tongue weight is a Bad Thing because it reduces weight on the towing vehicle's front wheels, leading to instability.
