I imagine the answer may be to lessen the amount of current each light is exposed too but also keep the voltage each light gets equal

You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

A baseball is hit with a bat. The direction of the ball is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact w
alexdok [17]
Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.

After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.

a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.

A typical meteor that hits the earth's upper atmosphere has a mass of only 2.5 g, about the same as a penny, but it is moving at
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Answer:u=66.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg

velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s

Kinetic Energy of Meteor

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}

K.E.=2\times 10^6 J

Kinetic Energy of Car

=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6  

900\times u^2=4\times 10^6

u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4

u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2

u=66.67 m/s

A 1-kg iron frying pan is placed on a stove. The pan increases from 20°C to 250°C. If the same amount of heat is added to a pan
sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

Q = ms \Delta T

Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)

Q = 1*s*230

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

Q = ms'\Delta T

1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T

now we have

\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>
