A string of 18 identical holiday tree lights is connected inseries to a 190V source. The string dissipates 62.0 W. One of thebul

bs burns out. The lamp has a wire that shorts out the lampfilament when it burns out. This drops the resistance of the lampto zero.(a) What is the resistance of the light string now?(b) Find the power dissipated by the string.(c) Did the power go up or down when a bulb burned out?

Answer:

549.9 ohms, 65.65 watts, the power went up

Explanation:  power P = V²/R

v= 190volts , P =62watts

from P =V²/R

62=190²/R

making R the subject

R×62= 190²

62R =36100

R=36100/62

R=586.25 ohms

Resistance of each lamp = 586.26/18 =32.3ohms

a) resistance of the light string now = 17×32.3 = 549.9 ohms

b) P=V²/R

where R=549.9ohms , P=?

P=190²/549.9

P=36100/549.9

P=65.65watts

Power dissipated has increased( went up )

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
lbvjy [14]
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Three equal 1.55-μC point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle whose sides are 0.500 m long. What is the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

0.12959085 J

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

q = Charge = 1.55 μC

d = Distance between charge = 0.5 m

Electric potential energy is given by

U=k\dfrac{q^2}{d}

In this system with three charges which are equidistant from each other

U=k\dfrac{q^2}{d}+k\dfrac{q^2}{d}+k\dfrac{q^2}{d}

\\\Rightarrow U=k\dfrac{3q^2}{d}\\\Rightarrow U=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3\times (1.55\times 10^{-6})^2}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow U=0.12959085\ J

The potential energy of the system is 0.12959085 J
