Answer:

Technician  A  is right. The situation will happens even with only two bulbs in series

Explanation:

We must take into account that

1.- All electric device need its nominal voltage to operate

2.-Any and all electric device means an electric load for the source in terms of equation that means any device will implies a drop voltage of V = I*R ( I the flows current and R  the resistance of the device)

3.-Nominal voltage for bulbs are specify for houses voltages you find between fase and neutral wires for instance in Venezuela 120 (v).

4.-In a imaginary circuit of only one bulb, the nominal voltage will be applied and the bulb will operates correctly, but when you add another bulb (in series) the nominal voltage will split  between the two bulbs ( we  could find a situation such as the first bulb work properly but the second one does not). The voltage split according to Ohms law (in such way that the sum of voltage between the terminal of the first bulb plus the voltage at terminals of the second one are equal to nominal voltage.

For that reason all the bulbs are connected in parallel in wich case all of them will operate with the common voltage

Elis [28]

Answer: a)

Explanation:

The buoyant force, as stated by Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight of the liquid that occupies the same volumen as the submerged object, as follows:

Fb = δ.V.g

If this force is larger than the weight of the object (that means that the fluid is denser than the solid), the object floats, which is the case for silver and mercury.

Instead, silver density is larger than water density, which explains why the pure silver ingot sinks.

Finally, as mercury is denser than water, we conclude that for a same object, the buoyant force in mercury is larger than in water (exactly 13.6 times greater).

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. First, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. By
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The frequency is    f  = 0.221 \ Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The  time taken for it to decay to half its original size is t  =  3.40 \ ms  =  3.40 *10^{-3} \ s

Let the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged be  V_o

Then the voltage of the capacitor at time t is  said to be  V  =  \frac{V_o}{2}

   Now  this voltage can be  mathematical represented as

      V  =  V_o  * e ^{-\frac{t}{RC} }

Where  RC  is the time constant

   substituting values  

    \frac{V_o}{2}  =  V_o  *  e ^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    0.5  =  e^{-\frac{3.40 *10^{-3}}{RC} }

    - \frac{0.5}{RC}  =  ln (0.5)

     -\frac{0.5}{RC} =  -0.6931

     RC  =  0.721

Generally the cross-over frequency for a low pass filter is mathematically represented as

          f  = \frac{1}{2 \pi  * RC  }

substituting values  

           f  = \frac{1}{2*  3.142  * 0.72  }

           f  = 0.221 \ Hz

Which of the following best describes a capacitor?
galben [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge  making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

It took the projectile 120 s to reach the maximum height.

Explanation:

Given;

maximum height of the projectile, s = 180 km = 180,000 m

initial speed of the projectile, u = 3 km/s = 3000 m/s

final velocity at maximum height, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation for average velocity of the projectile;

s = (\frac{v+u}{2} )t\\\\(v+u)t = 2s\\\\t = \frac{2s}{v+u} \\\\t = \frac{2*180,000}{0+3,000}\\\\ t = 120 \ s

Therefore, it took the projectile 120 s to reach the maximum height.

A 1500 W radiant heater is constructed to operate at 115 V. (a) What will be the current in the heater? (b) What is the resistan
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) I = 13.04 A

b)  R = 8.82 ohms

c) 1291.87 kilocalories are generated an hour.

Explanation:

let P be the power of the heater, V be the voltage of the heater, I be the current of the heater, R be the resistance.

a) we know that:

P = I×V

I = P/V

  = (1500)/(115)

  = 13.04 A

Therefore, the current of the heater is 13.04 A

b) we now have voltage and current, according to Ohm's law:

R = V/I

  = (115)/(13.04)

  = 8.82 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the heating coil is 8.82 ohms.

c) the number of kilocalories generated in one hour by the heater is just the energy the heater produces in one hour which is given by:

E = P×t

  = (1500)(1×60×60)

  = 5400000 J

since 1 calorie = 4.81 J

1 kilocalorie = 0.001 calories

E = 5400000/4.18 ≈ 1291866.029 calories ≈1291.87 kilocalories

Therefore, 1291.87 kilocalories are produced/generated in one hour.
