In a circuit having 2 lamps are connected in parallel to a battery

then the two lamps will be having the same potential as the battery

i.e

$V_{1} = V_{2} = V_{battery}$

As per Ohm's law,

$I_{1} = \frac{V_{1}}{R_{1}}$ and $I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{2} }$

In other words, each lamp's current is inversely related to its individual resistance. We only know the current in one of the bulbs in this specific instance. We would therefore need further information in order to calculate the current in the other light. Therefore, there isn't enough data to make a statement.

Under the assumption that all physical parameters, including temperature, remain constant, Ohm's law asserts that "the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it".

The main purpose of an air bag is to stop a passenger during a car accident in a greater amount of time than if the air bag were

Simora [160]

Answer:

a) 45571 N

b) 22786 N

c) 4557 N

Explanation:

Since the goal of the airbag is helping the person to stop after the collision in a greater time, this means that the change in momentum must finish when this is just zero.
In other words, the change in momentum, must be equal to the initial one, but with opposite sign.

$\Delta p = - p_{o} = -m*v = -55 kg*29m/s = -1595 kgm/s (1)$

Now, just applying the original form of Newton's 2nd Law, we know that this change in momentum must be equal to the impulse needed to stop the person:

$\Delta p = F* \Delta t (2)$

So, as we know the magnitude of Δp from (1) and we have different Δt as givens, we can get the different values of F (in magnitude) required to stop the person for each one of them, as follows:

$F_{1} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{1}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.035s} = 45571 N (3)$

$F_{2} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{2}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.07s} = 22786 N (4)$

$F_{3} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t_{3}} = \frac{1595kgm/s}{0.35s} = 4557 N (5)$

An object with total mass mtotal = 14.6 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.9 k

zheka24 [161]

Answer: 1) 0. 2) 4.2 Kg. 3) 15.4 m/s 4) 12.9 m/s 5) 0. 6) 3.62 KJ.

Explanation:

1) Assuming that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved. As initially the total mass was at rest, so initial momentum is zero, final momentum of all the system must be 0 also.

2) After the explosion, as mass must be conserved also, the sum of the masses of the three pieces must be equal to the original total mass, so we can write the following:

m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = M = 14.6 Kg = 4.9 Kg + 5.5 Kg + m₃

Solving for m₃, we have:

m₃ = 14.6 Kg - 4.9 Kg -5.5 Kg = 4.2 Kg.

3) and 4)

As momentum is a vector, if it is magnitude must be 0, this means that all his components must be 0 too.

So, we can write two equations, one for the x-component, and other for the y-component, as follows:

pₓ = m₁. v₁ₓ + m₂.v₂ₓ + m₃.v₃ₓ = 0

py = m₁.v₁y + m₂. v₂y + m₃. v₃y =0

Replacing by the values, and solving for v₃ₓ and v₃y, we get:

v₃ₓ = 15.4 m/s

v₃y = 12.9 m/s

v = √(15.4)²+(12.9)² = 20.1 m/s

5) As the center of mass must move as if all the mass were concentrated in this point, and we know that the total momentum must be 0, this tells us that the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass must be 0 too.

6) As initial kinetic energy is 0, as the mass was at rest, the increase in the kinetic energy is obtained simply adding the kinetic energy of every piece of mass gained after explosion, as follows:

K = K₁ + K₂ + K₃ = 1/2 (m₁ . v₁² + m₂.v₂² + m₃.v₃²)

Replacing by the values, we get:

K= 3.62 KJ
