Answer:

7A

Explanation:

Current I = potential difference V ÷ Resistance R

I = V/R ........1

The overall resistance of parallel resistors is;

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 ........2

Given;

V = 10V

R1 = 2 ohms

R2 = 5 ohms

Substituting the values into equation 2, to calculate the overall resistance;

1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/5

1/Rt = 7/10

Rt = 10/7 ohms

From equation 1, we can solve for the total current;

I = V/Rt = 10/(10/7)

I = 7A

The total current I flowing through a system is 7A

We can reasonably model a 90-W incandescent lightbulb as a sphere 7.0cm in diameter. Typically, only about 5% of the energy goes
Ronch [10]

Answer:

292.3254055 W/m²

469.26267 V/m

1.56421\times 10^{-6}\ T

Explanation:

P = Power of bulb = 90 W

d = Diameter of bulb = 7 cm

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5\ cm

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

The intensity is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{90}{4\pi 0.035^2}\\\Rightarrow I=5846.50811\ W/m^2

5% of this energy goes to the visible light so the intensity is

I=0.05\times 5846.50811\\\Rightarrow I=292.3254055\ W/m^2

The visible light intensity at the surface of the bulb is 292.3254055 W/m²

Energy density of the wave is

u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2

Energy density is also given by

\frac{I}{c}=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2\\\Rightarrow E=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{c\epsilon_0}}\\\Rightarrow E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 292.3254055}{3\times 10^8\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}\\\Rightarrow E=469.26267\ V/m

The amplitude of the electric field at this surface is 469.26267 V/m

Amplitude of a magnetic field is given by

B=\frac{E}{c}\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{469.26267}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow B=1.56421\times 10^{-6}\ T

The amplitude of the magnetic field at this surface is 1.56421\times 10^{-6}\ T

The period of a wave is 20 ms (milliseconds) and its wavelength is 4 cm. Calculate:
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

A. 50 Hz

B. 2 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 20 ms to s. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 ms = 1 s

Therefore,

20 ms = 20 ms × 1 s / 1000 ms

20 ms = 0.02 s

Next, we shall convert the value of the wavelength (i.e 4cm) to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

4 cm = 4 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

4 cm = 0.04 m

A. Determination of the frequency.

Period (T) = 0.02 s

Frequency (f) =?

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 0.02

f = 50 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 50 Hz

B. Determination of the velocity.

Wavelength (λ) = 0.04 m

Frequency (f) = 50 Hz

Velocity (v) =?

v = λf

V = 0.04 × 50

v = 2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the wave is 2 m/s

Ethan and Rebecca are riding on a merry-go-round. Ethan rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circlar platform, twice as far
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Ethan's tangential speed is twice as Rebecca's.

Explanation:

Let r be the distance from the center of the platform to Rebecca's horse, v_R Rebecca's tangential speed, v_E the Ethan's tangential speed and \omega the merry-go-round angular speed. The distance from the center of the platform to Ethan's horse is 2r. The angular speed is related to the tangential speed by the equation:

\omega =\frac{v}{R}

Since the angular speed is the same for Ethan and Rebecca, we have that:

\frac{v_E}{2r}=\frac{v_R}{r}

Now, solving for v_E we get:

v_E=2v_R

It means that Ethan's tangential speed is twice as Rebecca's.
