what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current

in the bulb steady?

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

A ball falls off of a 3m tall shelf. How long will it take for the
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of shelf  = 3m

Unknown:

Time it will take to hit the ground  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

         x  = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt²  

x is the height

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken  = ?

Now insert the parameters and solve for t;

    3  = (0 x t) +( \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x t²)

    3 = 4.9t²

       t² = 0.6

       t = 0.8s

A ray of light travels across a liquid-to-glass interface. if the indices of refraction for the liquid and glass are, respective
prisoha [69]
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°

A 35.9 g mass is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 18.4 N/m and released from rest with an amplitude of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

7.74m/s

Explanation:

Mass = 35.9g = 0.0359kg

A = 39.5cm = 0.395m

K = 18.4N/m

At equilibrium position, there's total conservation of energy.

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

Total Energy = K.E + P.E

½KA² = ½mv² + ½kx²

½KA² = ½(mv² + kx²)

KA² = mv² + kx²

Collect like terms

KA² - Kx² = mv²

K(A² - x²) = mv²

V² = k/m (A² - x²)

V = √(K/m (A² - x²) )

note x = ½A

V = √(k/m (A² - (½A)²)

V = √(k/m (A² - A²/4))

Resolve the fraction between A.

V = √(¾. K/m. A² )

V = √(¾ * (18.4/0.0359)*(0.395)²)

V = √(0.75 * 512.53 * 0.156)

V = √(59.966)

V = 7.74m/s
