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
avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

P=IV

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

E=Pt=VIt

Where

It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s

So the energy delivered is

E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h

A student conducts an experiment in which a cart is pulled by a variable applied force during a 2sec time interval. In trial 1,
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

Explanation:

Let's look for the speed of the car

     F = m a

    a = F / m

We use kinematics to find lips

    v = v₀ + a t

    v = v₀ + (F / m) t

The moment is defined by

    p = m v

The moment change

    Δp = m v - m v₀

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

    Δp = m (v₀ + F / m t) - m v₀

    Δp = m v₀  + F t - m v₀  

    Δp = F t

We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

garri49 [273]

Answer:

B1. Pascal's law is a principal in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid that the same change occur everywhere. 2 applications of Pascal's law are hydraulic lifts, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic hydraulic brakes ,hydraulic pumps. mark me as a braintalist list plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>

Musya8 [376]
At a particular location, when an an increase in the rate at which water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere, an increase in humidity is expected at that location. The term "humidity" generally refers to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
