Physics - Electricity and Magnetism

A ceiling fan operates at three speeds, using 120 V of electricity from the wall. At low speeds, it uses 0.25 A. Calculate the resistance needed to generate that current. Then in 1-2 sentences, describe how the resistance would change at medium and high speeds if larger currents are needed at those speeds. Your answer should include the calculated resistance and a sentence describing your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

480 Ohms for the calculations

Explanation:

For the calculations:

V = 120 and I = 0.25

V = IR

R = V/I

R = 120/0.25

R = 480 Ohms

For the sentences, I am so sorry, I do not have them yet!

Answer 2

I. The resistance which is needed to generate a current of 0.25 Ampere in the ceiling fan is 480 Ohms.

II. Since current is inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit, an increase in the current (larger currents) flowing into the electrical circuit of the ceiling fan would cause the resistance to decrease in magnitude at medium and high speeds.

Given the following data:

Voltage = 120 VoltsCurrent = 0.25 Ampere

To calculate the resistance needed to generate that current, we would apply Ohm's law:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing through an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage (potential difference) applied across the two terminals of the electrical circuit and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

[tex]V=IR[/tex]

Where;

V is the voltage measured in Volts.I is the current measured in Ampere.R is the resistance measured in Ohms.

Making R the subject of formula, we have:

[tex]R =\frac{V}{I}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]R=\frac{120}{0.25}[/tex]

Resistance, R = 480 Ohms

Since current is inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit, an increase in the current (larger currents) flowing into the electrical circuit of the ceiling fan would cause the resistance to decrease in magnitude at medium and high speeds.

In conclusion, the larger the current, the lower the resistance would be at both medium and high speeds.

A ball is thrown from ground level at an angle of 0 and the initial velocity components are 7.5m/s and 13m/s. Ignoring air resistance, calculate each of:

1- The initial velocity is vi

2- The value of the angle at which the ball was thrown

3 - The horizontal range of the ball R​

Answers

I assume you mean an angle of θ, and not 0. I also assume the given components of the initial velocity are horizontal and vertical, respectively, so that

1. the initial velocity vector is

[tex]\boxed{\vec v_i = (7.5\,\vec\imath + 13\,\vec\jmath) \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}[/tex]

which means the ball is thrown with an initial speed of

√((7.5 m/s)² + (13 m/s)²) ≈ 15 m/s,

and

2. the angle made by [tex]\vec v_i[/tex] with the positive horizontal axis is θ such that

[tex]\tan(\theta) = \dfrac{13}{7.5} \implies \theta \approx \arctan(1.7) \approx \boxed{60^\circ}[/tex]

3. At time t, the ball attains a height y and horizontal range x according to

y = (13 m/s) t - g/2 t²

x = (7.5 m/s) t

where g = 9.8 m/s². When the ball reaches the ground (y = 0) for t > 0, we have

(13 m/s) t - g/2 t² = 0

13 m/s - g/2 t = 0

t = 2 (13 m/s)/g = (26 m/s)/g

Plugging this time into the x equation gives a horizontal range of

x = (7.5 m/s) (26 m/s)/g ≈ 20. m

Pressure in a liquid depends on the density of the liquid.

What is density?

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is an important parameter to understand the fluid and its properties. Its unit is kg/m³.

The pressure in the liquid is;

P = ρgh

Where,

h is the height

ρ is the density

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The density of a liquid determines its pressure.

Hence, density is the correct answer.

Which wave has the highest frequency?

Answers

Answer:

e

Explanation:

It is possible to create a wave having some frequency on a rope and then gradually it will become faster. During this time wavelength becomes shorter. Here the wave 'e' is found to has highest frequency. The correct option is E.

What is frequency of a wave?

The number of oscillations of a wave per unit time is defined as the frequency. It is usually measured in Hertz and the frequency is directly proportional to the pitch. Humans can hear sounds with frequencies ranging between 20-20000 Hz.

The sounds with frequencies over the human ears range are called the ultrasonic sound and sounds with frequencies less than the audible range are called infrasonic sound. The wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.

When wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa. So here wave E has maximum number of vibrations.

Thus the correct option is E.

Answer:

C.) decreases, stronger

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases; however, as the two objects are closer to each other, the force of the gravitational attraction between them also increases (stronger).

b.) The vector best represents the ball's acceleration at point 2 is B

In trajectory, acceleration vector is not the same with the velocity vector but depends on the change in velocity. The acceleration path is perpendicular to the velocity vector path.

At point 3, since the ball path is parabolic, the velocity at that point is not equal to zero but will tend to take a horizontal path.
