The total power delivered by the battery if the lightbulbs are connected is 9V^2/R

<h3>Power of a battery</h3>

The formula for calculating the power of a battery is expressed according to the equation;

Power = v^2/RT

where

R is the total resistance

v is the voltage or emf

If there are 3 identical lightbulbs, each having constant resistance R, then;

1/RT = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R

1/RT = 3/R

RT = R/3

The voltage drop across each lightbulbs will be the same for parallel connection, hence;

Power = 3V^2/(R/3)

Power = 9V^2/R

Hence the total power delivered by the battery if the lightbulbs are connected is 9V^2/R

The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce math]3.15 \times 10^{4} J[

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the phone, V = 3.7 V

electrical energy of the phone battery, E = 3.15 x 10⁴ J

duration of battery energy, t = 5.25 h

The power the cell phone draws when turned on, is the rate of energy consumption, and this is calculated as follows;

$P = \frac{E}{t}$

where;

P is power in watts

E is energy in Joules

t is time in seconds

$P = \frac{3.15*10^4}{5.25*3600s} = 1.667 \ W$

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on:

P = IV

$I = \frac{P}{V} =\frac{1.667}{3.7} = 0.451 \ A$

Therefore, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

3. A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass is 42.555 - 42.283 = 0.272 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

The respective indices of refraction for the blue light and the red light are 1.4636 and 1.4561.

A ray of light consisting of blue light (wavelength 480 nm) and red light (wavelength 670 nm) is incident on a thick piece of glass at 80 degrees.

We need to find the angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass.

Using Snell's law for red light as :

$n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta_2\\\\\theta_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\sin\theta_1)\\\\\theta_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{1}{1.4561})\sin(80))\\\\\theta_2=42.555$

Again using Snell's law for blue light as :

$n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta'_2\\\\\theta'_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\sin\theta_1)\\\\\theta'_2=\sin^{-1}((\dfrac{1}{1.4636 })\sin(80))\\\\\theta'_2=42.283$

The angular separation between the refracted red and refracted blue beams while they are in the glass is 42.555 - 42.283 = 0.272 degrees.

A 150kg motorcycle starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate along a distance of 350m. The applied force is 250N and t

notsponge [240]

A) The net force on the motorbike is 205.9 N

B) The acceleration of the motorbike is $1.37 m/s^2$

C) The final speed is 5.2 m/s

D) The elapsed time is 3.80 s

Explanation:

A)

There are two forces acting on the motorbike:

- The applied force, F = 250 N, forward

- The frictional force, $F_f$ , backward

The frictional force can be written as

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu=0.03$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

$m=150 kg$ is the mass of the motorbike

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Therefore the net force is given by

$\sum F = F - F_f = F - \mu mg$

And substituting, we find

$\sum F=250 - (0.03)(150)(9.8)=205.9 N$

2)

The acceleration of the motorbike can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force is equal to the product between mass and acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have

$\sum F = 205.9 N$ is the net force

m = 150 kg is the mass

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{205.9}{150}=1.37 m/s^2$

C)

Since the motion of the motorbike is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For this motorbike, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=1.37 m/s^2$

s = 350 m

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(1.37)(9.8)}=5.2 m/s$

4)

For this part of the problem, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the elapsed time

Here we have:

v = 5.2 m/s

u = 0

$a=1.37 m/s^2$

Solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{5.2-0}{1.37}=3.80 s$
