The voltage and power ratings of a particular light bulb, which are its normal operating values, are 110 V and 60 W. Assume the

resistance of the filament of the bulb is constant and is independent of operating conditions. If the light bulb is operated at a reduced voltage and the power drawn by the bulb is 36 W, what is the operating voltage of the bulb?

Answer:

The voltage operating is the 85,20563362

Explanation:

Power is the relation between Voltage and Current so knowing the resistance is going to be constant the equation of power can be just replacing in voltage terms:

1. $P=I*V$

using also Law OHM

2. $V= I*R$

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

Replacing 2 in the equation 1 so all the data are going to be in Voltage terms:

1. $P= \frac{V}{R} *V$

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

$R= \frac{110^{2} v }{60 w}$

$R= 201,6666667$ Ω

So the resistance is constant so the current is going to be the same at the other Power 36 W:

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

$V^{2} = R*P$

$V=\sqrt{R*P}$

$V=\sqrt{201,6666667*36 }$

$V=\sqrt{7260}$ ⇒ $V= 85,20563362$

An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. at the point where the plane is f

konstantin123 [22]

A) When the plane is flying straight down, there are three forces acting on it:
- the centripetal force $F=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ , directed toward the center of the circle (so, horizontally)
- the weight of the plane: $W=mg$ , downward, so vertically
- a third force, given by the propulsion of the plane, which is accelerating it towards the ground (because the problem says that the plane has an acceleration of a=12 m/s^2 towards the ground)

The radius of the circle is $r= \frac{260 m}{2} = 130 m$ , so the centripetal force acting on the plane is
$F_c=m \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{(85000 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{130 m}=1.98 \cdot 10^6 N$
On the vertical axis, we have two forces: the weight
$W=mg=(85000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=8.34 \cdot 10^5 N$
and the other force F given by the propulsion. Since we know that their sum should generate an acceleration equal to $a=12 m/s^2$ , we can find the magnitude of this other force F by using Newton's second law:
$F+mg=ma$
$F=m(a-g)=(85000kg)(12 m/s^2-9.81 m/s^2)=1.86 \cdot 10^5 N$

So, the net force acting on the plane will be the resultant of the centripetal force (acting in the horizontal direction) and the two forces W and F (acting in the vertical direction):
$R= \sqrt{(F_c^2+(W+F)^2}=$
$= \sqrt{(1.98\cdot 10^6N)^2+(8.34 \cdot 10^5N+1.86 \cdot 10^5 N)^2} =2.23 \cdot 10^6 N$

(b) The tangent of the angle with respect to the horizontal is the ratio between the sum of the forces in the vertical direction (taken with negative sign, since they are directed downward) and the forces acting in the horizontal direction, so:
$\tan \theta = \frac{-(W+F)}{F_c}= -0.5$
And so, the angle is
$\theta = \arctan (-0.5)=-26.8 ^{\circ}$

Part complete during a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s

Inga [223]

The average force applied to the ball= 106.7 N

Explanation:

Force is given by

f= ΔP/t

ΔP= change in momentum= m Vf- m Vi

m= mass =0.2 kg

Vf= final velocity= 12 m/s

Vi=initial velocity= -20 m/s ( negative because it is going towards the wall which is treated as negative axis)

t= time= 60 ms= 0.06 s

now ΔP= 0.2 [ 12-(-20)]

ΔP=0.2 (32)=6.4 kg m/s

now force F= ΔP/t

F= 6.4/0.06

F=106.7 N

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The floor of the ocean is 6120 m deep.

Explanation:

In order to find the depth of the ocean we need to use the speed of the ultrasonic sound 1530 m/s and the time it takes for the echo to comeback. Since the wave is transmitted by the vessel goes to the bottom of the ocean and comeback, it travels the distance between the vessel and the floor two times, so we can divide the time by two. We then have:

D = V*t/2 = 1530*8/2 = 1530*4 = 6120 m
