When two circuit elements (e.g., light bulbs, resistors, etc.) are in PARALLEL, the voltage drop across each element must be the same. (choice-b)

When the same two circuit elements are in SERIES, the current through each element must be the same.

16. A 7500 kg 18-wheeler traveling at 20 m/s exits onto the runaway truck ramp on the freeway.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>765,000 Joule</em>

Explanation:

<u>Principle of Conservation of Energy </u>

The total energy in an isolated system cannot be created or destroyed, but transformed. Moving objects have kinetic energy, objects placed in some height above a reference level have gravitational potential energy. When they change their motion variables, one energy converts into the other, but if the numbers don't fit, we know there was some other type of energy acting into the system. The most common reason for energy 'losses' is the thermal energy, produced when objects move in rough surfaces or take friction from the air.

The 7,500 kg truck is originally traveling at 20 m/s to a certain height we'll set to 0. Thus, its total energy is

$\displaystyle E_1=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle E_1=\frac{7,500\ 20^2}{2}$

$E_1=1,500,000\ Joule$

When it comes to a stop, its speed is 0 and its height is 10 m higher than before. It means all the kinetic energy was transformed into other types of energy. The gravitational potential energy is

$U=mgh=(7,500)(9.8)(10)=735,000\ Joule$

Since this number is not equal to the previous value of the energy, the difference is due to thermal energy dissipated by friction

$E_t=1,500,000\ Joule-735,000\ Joule=765,000\ Joule$

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

From the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

Make h the subject of the equation

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Given: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

number of steps = 6525/16

number of steps = 407 steps

Gretchen runs the first 4.0 km of a race at 5.0 m/s. Then a stiff wind comes up, so she runs the last 1.0 km at only 4.0 m/s.

KIM [24]

Answer:

The velocity is $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first distance is $d_1 = 4.0 \ km = 4000 \ m$

The first speed is $v_1 = 5.0 \ m/s$

The second distance is $d_2 = 1.0 \ km = 1000 \ m$

The second speed is $v_2 = 4.0 \ m/s$

Generally the time taken for first distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_1 }{v_1 }$

$t_1 = \frac{4000}{5}$

$t_1 = 800 \ s$

The time taken for second distance is

$t_1 = \frac{d_2 }{v_2 }$

$t_1 = \frac{1000}{4}$

$t_1 = 250 \ s$

The total time is mathematically represented as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

=> $t = 800 + 250$

=> $t = 1050 \ s$

Generally the constant velocity that would let her finish at the same time is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{d_1 + d_2}{t }$

=> $v = \frac{4000 + 1000}{1050 }$

=> $v = 4.76 \ m/s$

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?

Kay [80]

There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength, The same force is on both sides of it. T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move. </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Darya [45]

Answer:

$y = -8.37 cm$

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

$y = A cos(\omega t)$

here we know that

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

here we have

$T = 0.66 s$

now we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}$

$\omega = 3\pi$

now we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)$

now at t = 2.3 s we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)$

$y = -8.37 cm$
