What is the voltage drop across point A and B?
We are asked to find the voltage drop at point A and B
Notice that point A and B have 3 resistors connected in parallel so the voltage across these 3 resistors will be the same.
First, we have to find the equivalent resistance of these 3 parallel resistors.
[tex]\begin{gathered} R_{AB}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}} \\ R_{AB}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{120}+\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{30}} \\ R_{AB}=17.14\; \Omega \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the resistance of the parallel resistors is 17.14
Now, we can simply use the voltage drop formula to find the voltage drop at point A and B
[tex]\begin{gathered} V_{AB}=\frac{R_{AB}}{R_{total}}\times V_{\text{in}} \\ V_{AB}=\frac{R_{AB}}{R_{AB}+R_{CD}}\times V_{\text{in}} \end{gathered}[/tex]Where Vin is the input voltage that is 100 V
[tex]\begin{gathered} V_{AB}=\frac{17.14}{17.14+100}\times100 \\ V_{AB}=14.63\; V \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, there is a 14.63 V drop at point A and B
A 5 cm spring is suspended with a mass of 1 g attached to it which extends the spring by 3.2 cm. The same spring is placed on a frictionless flat surface and charged beads are attached to each end of the spring. With the charged beads attached to the spring, the spring's extension is 0.01 m. What are the charges, in micro-Coulombs, of the beads?
First, we need to find the spring constant
Force of gravity = force of tension from spring
mg = kx
(1x10^-3)(9.8) = k (3.2x10^-2)
k = .30625
Now we can look at the other situation
Since the spring was moved 0.01 meters, we can find the force
F = kx = (.01)(.30625) = .0030625 N
Now we can set the electric force equal to the force of the beads
kq^2/r^2 = .0030625 N
q = 292 microCoulombs
For each, find the radius, diameter, and circumference of the circular object (one of these measurements is given in the problem). When working with the circumference, use π and round to the nearest whole number. a. Breaking a cookie in half creates a straight side 10 cm long.radius: cmdiameter: cmcircumference: cm
ANSWER
• radius: ,5 cm
,• diameter: ,10 cm
,• circumference: ,31 cm
EXPLANATION
If we assume that the cookie is round, when we cut it in half we'll have the following shape:
The straight side is the diameter of the cookie, which is 10 cm long.
The radius of a circle is half the diameter, hence the radius of the cookie is 5 cm.
The circumference is,
[tex]C=\pi\cdot d[/tex]Where d is the diameter of the circle. In this case, this is 10cm,
[tex]C=\pi\cdot10\operatorname{cm}\approx31\operatorname{cm}[/tex]The circumference of the cookie is 31 cm, rounded to the nearest whole number.
A ball is equipped with a speedometer and launched straight upward. The speedometer reading two seconds after launch is shown at the right; the ball is moving upward. At what approximate times would the ball display the following speedometer readings?
The time read by the speedometer is, t = 4 s.
The time displayed by the speedometer for a speed of 10 m/s is one second.The time displayed by the speedometer for a speed of 20 m/s is one second.The time displayed by the speedometer for a speed of 30 m/s is one second.What is Gravitational acceleration?The strength of a gravitational field is denoted by gravitational acceleration (symbolized g). It is measured in meters per second (meters per second squared). At the earth's surface, 1 g equals 9.8 m/s2.
Therefore,
The time read by the speedometer is, t = 4 s.
Because the speedometer has a low precision, value approximation is possible.
For the speedometer showing the speed 20 m/s. The time is calculated as,
v = u + gt1
Here, u is the initial speed and g is the gravitational acceleration and its approximate value is, g ≈ 10 m/s²
Solving as,
10 = 0 + 10 t1
t1 = 1s
Thus, the time shown by the speedometer corresponding to speed of 10 m/s is 1 s.
For the speedometer showing the speed 20 m/s. The time is calculated as,
v = u + gt2
Solving as,
20 = 10 + 10 t2
t2 = 1s
Thus, the time shown by the speedometer corresponding to speed of 20 m/s is 1 s.
For the speedometer showing the speed 30 m/s. The time is calculated as,
v = u + gt3
Solving as,
30 = 20 + 10 t3
t3 = 1s
Thus, the time shown by the speedometer corresponding to speed of 30 m/s is 1 s.

1.In a simple circuit a 6-volt dry cell pushes charge through a single lamp which has a resistance of 3 Ω. According to Ohms law the current through the circuit is 2 Amps.2.If a second identical lamp is connected in series, the 6-volt battery must push a charge through a total resistance of 6Ω. The current in the circuit is then 1 Amps.3.If a third identical lamp is connected in series, the total resistance is now 9Ω.4.The current through all three lamps in series is now _________ Amps. The current through each individual lamp is __________ Amps.
ANSWER
The current through all three lamps in series is now 0.67 Amps. The current through each individual lamp is 0.67 Amps.
EXPLANATION
There are three lamps connected in series, each with a resistance of 3 Ω, resulting in a total resistance of 9 Ω.
By Ohm's law, if the voltage from the battery is 6 V, then the current through all three lamps - i.e. the total current in the circuit is,
[tex]I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{6V}{9\Omega}=\frac{2}{3}Amps\approx0.67Amps[/tex]And, since the three lamps are connected in series - which means there are no dividing paths, the current through each individual lamp is the same as the total current of the circuit, 0.67 Amps.
Hence, the current through all three lamps and through each individual lamp is 0.67 Amps, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

We will have the following:
First, we determine the time:

Now, we deteremine the distance traveled:
[tex]\begin{gathered} d=(93.5km/h)(\frac{935}{716}-\frac{11}{30}h)\Rightarrow d=87.81513035...km \\ \\ \Rightarrow d\approx87.82km \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the distane traveled was approximately 87.82 km.

Use the momentum equation for photons found in this week's notes, the wavelength you found in #3, and Planck’s constant (6.63E-34) to calculate the momentum of this photon:
The wavelength is divided by Plank's constant to get the momentum equation for photons: p = h /λ.
What is photon?The electromagnetic force is carried by a photon, a basic particle that is a quantum of the electromagnetic field and includes electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves. Since photons have no mass, they constantly move at the 299792458 m/s speed of light in a vacuum.
Assuming the wavelength determined in a prior issue, = 656 nm = 656 * 10 - 9 m, you get:
p = (6.63 * 10 ^-34) / (656 * 10 ^ -9) kg * m/s
P, which must be rounded to three significant numbers, is equal to 1.01067 * 10 - 27 kg*m/s.
Consequently, p = 1.01 * 10 -27 kg*m/s
Our number, rounded to two significant figures, is 1.0 * 10 - 27 kg*m/s because the answers are only rounded to two significant values.
Therefore, given that the wavelength is 656 nm, the first option—1.0*10-27 kg*m/s—is the correct response.

The work done by the elevator is - 86.730kj
It should be converted to energy in order to move an object. Energy can be transferred by the use of force. Work done refers to the amount of energy used by a force to move an object.
We are given that ,
The mass of the elevator = m = 590 kg
The acceleration of the elevator upward = 1.1m/s²

part a. A delivery drone, hovering at an altitude of 260. m above the ground, drops a package. ("dropped" means that it was stationary when released ). How long will it take to reach the ground? part b. What will be the velocity of the package the instant before it hits the ground?
Given:
h= 260m (height)
a = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity )
Apply:
• a)
h = 1/2 a t^2
Replacing:
260 = 1/2 (9.8) t^2
260 / (1/2 * 9.8 ) = t^2
t = √[260 / (1/2 * 9.8 ) ]
t = 7.28 s
• b)
Apply.:
Vf = vi + at
Vf = finale velocity
Vi = initial velocity ( rest ) = 0 m/s
Vf = -9.8 (7.28 ) = -71.34 m/s
