If current splits and follows multiple paths in a circuit, what type of circuit is it?

Parallel Circuit

100

What are the longest type of waves?

Radio waves

100

The kinematic equations tell us about these four variables:

- distance

- velocity

- acceleration

- time

100

How fast does sound travel in space?

It can't!

Who discovered this law of nature?

Isaac Newton

A circuit has 4 resistors in parallel. What equation do I use to find the total resistance?

1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R+ 1/R3 + 1/R4

200

Which type of wave has the lowest frequency?

Radio waves

What is the final velocity of a car that starts from rest at a stop light, then accelerates at 10 m/sfor 4 seconds

Vf = 0 + a*t

   = 10 m/s2 * 4 s

   = 40 m/s

If a police car is driving away from you, how does that effect the pitch of the siren?

Pitch goes down.

If the Earth pulls you down with a gravitational force of 500 N on you, what force do you pull up on the Earth?

500N

300

A series circuit has a total resistance of 200 ohms. If there are 2 equal resistors in the circuit, what is the resistance on each of them?

100 ohms each.

300

Which color of light has the highest frequency (shortest wavelength)

Violet

300

Use Vf = Vi + a*t to show that an object that is not accelerating is going at a constant velocity.

if a = o

 Vf = Vi + (0)*t

 Vf = Vi    (final velocity is the same as the initial                 velocity, i.e. constant) 

300

In which medium does sound travel the fastest?

In a solid

The Sun is about 1 million times more massive than the Earth. Why is the moon gravitationally bound to the Earth rather than the sun?

Because the Earth is a lot closer. (distance matter more than mass)

Find the Current if a circuit has a total resistance of 45 ohms and a voltage of 45 volts.

I= V/R 

 = 45V/45ohm

 = 1 A

Red light has a wavelength of 700nm, what is its frequency?

f = c/λ 

 = (3*108 m/s)/(700*10-9m)

 = 4.3*1014 Hz

400

What is the acceleration of Tesla if it  can do 0 to 45 m/s (100 mph) in 4.2 s. 

Vf = Vi + a*t

V- Vi = a*t

a = (V- Vi)/t =ΔV/t

   = (45 m/s - 0)/4.2s

   = 10.7 m/s2  (about 1.1 g of acc)

400

What is the velocity of sound in the air if it is 72 degrees Fahrenheit ? 

° F = 1.8*° C + 32

V = 330 m/s + (.6 m/s/°C * ° C)

°C =(°F -32)/1.8 

    = (72-32)/1.8 = 22.2 ° C

V = 330 + (0.6 * 22.2)

   = 343.3 m/s

Find the force of gravity currently acting on Mr. Beasley. He has a mass of 70 kg.

Distance to center of Earth=6.4 *106 m

Mass of Earth= 6* 1024 Kg

F = (6.67*10-11 *6* 1024 *70)/(6.4* 106)2

 = 684 N

or F = mg

       = 70kg* 9.8m/s2 = 686N

Find the total Resistance. 


(Image 1)

1/R23 = 1/R+ 1/R3                    R23=6 ohm

         = 1/24  + 1/8

         = 1/24 + 3/24 = 4/24

                                = 1/6

RT = R1 + R23 = 4 + 6 = 10 ohm

White light passes through a filter that absorbs red and blue. What color is the filter?

Green

Find the initial velocity: 

Given: Vf = 2m/s

           a = 10 m/s2

             d = 25m

Vf= Vi2 + 2*a*d

Vi2 = Vf2 + 2*a*d

V= (Vf2 + 2*a*d)1/2

   = ((2 m/s)2 + 2*10 m/s* 25m)1/2

     = ( 4 m2/s2 + 500 m2/s)1/2

    = 22.45 m/s

You are driving towards a firetruck at 10 m/s that is driving towards you at 20 m/s. It's siren is ringing at 650 Hz. What frequency do you hear? It is 0 degrees celsius outside.

f = (v -+ vr)/(v +- vs) *f0

f = (330 + 10)/(330 - 20) * 650

 = 340/ 310  * 650 

  = 712.9 Hz

The sun is being sucked in by a black hole and is orbiting at a million meters from it (106m). If the Gravitational force is 2.6*1047 N and the sun's mass is 1.989*1030 Kg, find the mass of the black hole.

Mbh = (d2*F)/(G*msun )

      = 1.989*1039Kg


or a billion suns!!
