Hello!

We can use the following equation for calculating power dissipated by a resistor:
$P = i^2R$

P = Power (? W)
i = Current through resistor (2.0 A)
R = Resistance of resistor (50Ω)

Plug in the known values and solve.

$P = (2.0^2)(50) = \boxed{\text{ B. }200 W}$

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car $W=14,000\ N$

mass of car $m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N$

velocity of car $v=25\ m/s$

radius $r=200\ m$

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}$

$a_c=3.125\ m$

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

$F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}$

$F=4464.285\ N$

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

$=\mu N$

where $\mu$ =coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

$F_c=F_r$

$4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8$

$\mu =0.318$

At what net rate does heat radiate from a 300-m^2 black roof on a night when the roof's temperature is 33.0°C and the surroundin

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

24445.85 J/s

Explanation:

Area, A = 300 m^2

T = 33° C = 33 + 273 = 306 k

To = 18° C = 18 + 273 = 291 k

emissivity, e = 0.9

Use the Stefan's Boltzman law

$E = \sigma \times e \times A\times\left ( T^4 -T_{0}^{4}\right )$

Where, e be the energy radiated per unit time, σ be the Stefan's constant, e be the emissivity, T be the temperature of the body and To be the absolute temperature of surroundings.

The value of Stefan's constant, σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m^2k^4

By substituting the values

$E = 5.64 \times 10^{-8}\times 0.9 \times 300 \times (306^{4}-291^{4})$

E = 24445.85 J/s

Two 120 Ω resistors are connected in parallel across a supply voltage of 10 VDC. What's the current in this circuit?

german

As we know that here two 120 ohm resistors are connected in parallel with the battery of voltage 10 V DC

now here we will use Ohm's law

$V = i R$
