Answer: R=24.2Ω

Explanation: <u>Power</u> is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:

P=V.i

P=R.i²

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

The resistance of the system is:

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

R=\frac{V^{2}}{P}

R=\frac{110^{2}}{500}

R = 24.2Ω

<u>For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.</u>

Sophie [7]

Answer:

the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

harry is 35 m behind Draco

speed of Draco = 40 m/s

original speed of harry = 50 m/s

acceleration = ?

time taken by the Draco

    t =\dfrac{r}{u} =\dfrac{75}{40}

     t = 1.875 s

distance covered by Harry

  d = 35 + 175 = 210 m

to calculate the acceleration of harry

s = u t+ \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

210 = 50\times 1.875+ \dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.875^2

a × 3.516 × 0.5 = 116.25

a = 66.126 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of harry is equal to 66.126 m/s²

A student wants to create a 6.0V DC battery from a 1.5V DC battery. Can this be done using a transformer alone
shusha [124]

Answer:

Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.

Explanation:

A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.

Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.

So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.

<u>Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.</u>

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is  v_B = 0.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

     The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

     The initial speed  of the billiard ball A = v_1 =1 m/s

    The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

    The initial speed  of the billiard ball  B = 0

Let the final speed  of the billiard ball A  = v_A

Let The finial speed  of the billiard ball  B = v_B

      According to the law of conservation of Energy

                 \frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

              Substituting values  

                \frac{1}{2} m (1)^2  = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{2}m

                1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)

    According to the law of conservation of Momentum

            mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B

    Substituting values

            m(1)  = mv_A + 2mv_B

Multiplying through by m

           1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)

making v_A subject of the equation 2

            v_A = 1 - 2v_B

Substituting this into equation 1

         (1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1

         1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1

          6v_B^2  -4v_B +1 =1

          6v_B^2 -4v_B =0

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{v_B}

          6v_B -4 = 0

            v_B = \frac{4}{6}

            v_B = 0.67 m/s

onsider two projectiles that can be shot upward by spring guns. Object A is made of solid aluminum and has a mass of 50 grams. O
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, we have:

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Where V and U are final and initial velocity respectively.

H is the height.

For the object to have a sustain a maximum height it means the final velocity of the object is zero.

By computing the height of the object sustain by A, we have:

0^2 = 2^2 -2×10×H

0= 4 -20H

4 = 20H;

H= 0.2m

For object B we have;

0^2 = 1^2 -2×10×H

0 = 1 -20H

H = 1/20= 0.05m

From computing the height sustain by both objects, we see object B is projected at a shorter height into atmosphere than A.

Hence object B will return to the ground first.

True Or False? The tendency for an object in motion to remain in motion is called orbital speed.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The correct answer to the question is False i.e the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion is not called the orbital speed.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand Newton's first laws of motion.

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be in state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces.

Hence, as long as no unbalanced force is acting on a moving object, it will be in motion. This tendency of a moving object to be in motion is called inertia of motion of the body.

Inertia of motion is the property of the body by virtue of which a moving body always tries to be in motion.

Hence, the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion is not called as the orbital speed.
