The resistance of the lamp is apparently 50V/2A = 25 ohms.
When the circuit is fed with more than 50V, we want to add
another resistor in series with the 25-ohm lamp so that the
current through the combination will be 2A.
In order for 200V to cause 2A of current, the total resistance
must be 200V/2A = 100 ohms.
The lamp provides 25 ohms, so we want to add another 75 ohms
in series with the lamp. Then the total resistance of the circuit is
(75 + 25) = 100 ohms, and the current is 200V/100 ohms = 2 Amps.
The power delivered by the 200V mains is (200V) x (2A) = 400 watts.
The lamp dissipates ( I² · R ) = (2² · 25 ohms) = 100 watts.
The extra resistor dissipates ( I² · R) = (2² · 75 ohms) = 300 watts.
Together, they add up to the 400 watts delivered by the mains.
CAUTION:
300 watts is an awful lot of power for a resistor to dissipate !
Those little striped jobbies can't do it.
It has to be a special 'power resistor'.
300 watts is even an unusually big power resistor.
If this story actually happened, it would be cheaper, easier,
and safer to get three more of the same kind of lamp, and
connect THOSE in series for 100 ohms. Then at least the
power would all be going to provide some light, and not just
wasted to heat the room with a big moose resistor that's too
hot to touch.
Answer:
Explanation:
Unknown fork frequency is either
335 + 5.3 = 340.3 Hz
or
335 - 5.3 = 329.7 Hz
After we modify the known fork, the unknown fork frequency equation becomes either
(335 - x) + 8 = 340.3
(335 - x) = 332.3
x = 2.7 Hz
or
(335 - x) + 8 = 329.7
(335 - x) = 321.7
x = 13.3 Hz
IF the unknown fork frequency was 340.3 Hz,
THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 2.7 = 332.3 Hz
IF the unknown fork frequency was 329.7 Hz,
THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 13.3 = 321.7 Hz
Answer:
The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus.
Explanation:
The average speed of gas molecules is given by:
R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and M the molar mass of the gas.
We know that a water molecule has a mass that is 18 times that of a hydrogen atom:
So, we have:
The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus:
Answer:
1,920 Joules
Explanation:
K.E. = 1/2 mv2
so K.E. = 1/2 (60)(8x8) = 1,920 Joules
