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.

wo parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) What is the magnitude
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

<em> -18896.49 V/m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Distance between the two plates = 10 cm = 10 x 10^{-2} m = 0.1 m

Also, one of the plates is taken as<em> zero volt.</em>

a. The potential strength between the zero volt plate, and 7.05 cm (0.0705 m) away is 393 V

b. The potential strength between the other plate, and 2.95 cm (0.0295 m) away is 393 V

<em>Potential field strength = -dV/dx</em>

where dV is voltage difference between these points,

dx is the difference in distance between these points

For the first case above,

potential field strength = -393/0.0705 = -5574.46 V/m

For the second case ,

potential field strength = -393/0.0295 = -13322.03 V/m

Magnitude of the field strength across the plates will be

-5574.46 + (-13322.03) = -5574.46 + 13322.03 =<em> -18896.49 V/m</em>

While in empty space, an astronaut throws a ball at a velocity of 11 m/s. what will the velocity of the ball be after it has tra
Aliun [14]
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

<em>The net force acting on the object is 0 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Newton's Second Law of Forces</u>

The net force acting on a body is proportional to the mass of the object and its acceleration.

The net force can be calculated as the sum of all the force vectors in each rectangular coordinate separately.

The image shows a free body diagram where four forces are acting: two in the vertical direction and two in the horizontal direction.

Note the forces in the vertical direction have the same magnitude and opposite directions, thus the net force is zero in that direction.

Since we are given the acceleration a =0, the net force is also 0, thus the horizontal forces should be in equilibrium.

The applied force of Fapp=10 N is compensated by the friction force whose value is, necessarily Fr=10 N in the opposite direction.

The net force acting on the object is 0 N
