A potential drop of 50. volts is measured across a
1 answer:
Answer:
Power, P is equal to 10 watts.
Explanation:
Given the following parameters;
Voltage drop, V = 50volts.
Resistance, R = 250ohms.
Power, P =?
The power developed in an electrical circuit is given by;
......equation 1
But we also know that;
Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.
Mathematically, V = IR
Making I the subject of formula;
I = V/R
Substituting into equation 1;
P = (50²)/250
P = 2500/250
P = 10 watts.

(a) 30.9 m
Let's analyze the motion of the parachutist. Its vertical position above the ground is given by
where
h = 45 m is the initial height
u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)
t is the time
g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)
Substituting t=3 s , we find the height of the parachutist when it opens the parachute:
(b) 44.1 m
Here we have to find first the height of the balloon 3 seconds after the parachutist has jumped off from it. The vertical position of the balloon is given by
y = h + ut
where
h = 45 m is the initial height
u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)
t is the time
Substituting t = 3 s, we find
y = 45 m + (10 m/s)(3 s) = 75 m
So the distance between the balloon and the parachutist after 3 s is
d = 75 m - 30.9 m = 44.1 m
(c) 8.2 m/s downward
The velocity of the parachutist at the moment he opens the parachute is:
v = u +gt
where
u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity (upward)
t is the time
g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)
Substituting t = 3 s,
v = 10 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)= -19.4 m/s
where the negative sign means it is downward
After t=3 s, the parachutist open the parachute and it starts moving with a deceleration of
a =+5 m/s^2
where we put a positive sign since this time the acceleration is upward.
The total distance he still has to cover till the ground is
d = 30.9 m
So we can find the final velocity by using
where this time we have u = 19.4 m/s as initial velocity. Taking the downward direction as positive, the deceleration must be considered as negative:
a = -5 m/s^2
Solving for v,
(d) 5.24 s
We can find the duration of the second part of the motion of the parachutist (after he has opened the parachute) by using
where
a = -5 m/s^2 is the deceleration
v = 8.2 m/s is the final velocity
u = 19.4 m/s is the initial velocity
t is the time
Solving for t, we find
And added to the 3 seconds between the instant of the jump and the moment he opens the parachute, the total time is
t = 3 s + 2.24 s = 5.24 s
