A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

rated at 90.0 (A.h) and each headlight requires 36.0 W of power, how long will it take the battery to completely discharge?

It will take the battery 15 hours to discharge completely.

<h3>Energy stored in a battery</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability or capacity to work. The formula for calculating the energy stored in a battery is expressed as;

Energy stored=Power×Time

Energy stored = ΔV  * t  

where

ΔV is the change in velocity

t is the time

Substitute

Energy stored = 12.0 * 90.0

Energy stored = 1080 W.h

Total power consumed by the headlight = 2 * 36

Total power consumed by the headlight = 72Watts

Determine the time it takes to dischage

Time = Energy Stored/Power

Time = 1080/72

Time = 15hrs

Hence it will take the battery 15 hours to discharge completely.

What is the acceleration of a 0.90g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing?
Scilla [17]
The acceleration of a 0.90 g drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing is the sum of the acceleration of the movement of the finger and the acceleration of gravity. In this case, this is different when the finger goes down, since the acceleration now becomes the difference between the two.

A student claims that any object in motion must experience a force that keeps it in motion. Do you agree or disagree? Explain yo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

I disagree

Explanation:

I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}
