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
2 answers:
Answer:
It will take time=7.963 hours to completely discharge
Explanation:
The energy available in the battery is:
Energy stored=Power×Time
Energy stored=(ΔV)I×t
Energy stored=(12.0V×43.0A.h)
Energy stored=516 W.h
The two headlights together consume a total power of:
So the time required to completely discharge is:
It will take time=7.963 hours to completely discharge

Answer:
6.86 m/s
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by doing the total energy balance, i.e:
initial (KE + PE) = final (KE + PE). { KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy}
Since the rod comes to a halt at the topmost position, the KE final is 0. Therefore, all the KE initial is changed to PE, i.e, ΔKE = ΔPE.
Now, at the initial position (the rod hanging vertically down), the bottom-most end is given a velocity of v0. The initial angular velocity(ω) of the rod is given by ω = v/r , where v is the velocity of a particle on the rod and r is the distance of this particle from the axis.
Now, taking v = v0 and r = length of the rod(L), we get ω = v0/ 0.8 rad/s
The rotational KE of the rod is given by KE = 0.5Iω², where I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis of rotation and this is given by I = 1/3mL², where L is the length of the rod. Therefore, KE = 1/2ω²1/3mL² = 1/6ω²mL². Also, ω = v0/L, hence KE = 1/6m(v0)²
This KE is equal to the change in PE of the rod. Since the rod is uniform, the center of mass of the rod is at its center and is therefore at a distane of L/2 from the axis of rotation in the downward direction and at the final position, it is at a distance of L/2 in the upward direction. Hence ΔPE = mgL/2 + mgL/2 = mgL. (g = 9.8 m/s²)
Now, 1/6m(v0)² = mgL ⇒ v0 =
Hence, v0 = 6.86 m/s
