Answer:

Mass, m = 1500 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the truck, F = 3000 N

Acceleration of the truck, $a=2\ m/s^2$

Let m is the mass of the truck. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as

F = m × a

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}$

$m=\dfrac{3000}{2}$

m = 1500 kg

So, the mass of the truck is 1500 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Your car's 30.0 W headlight and 2.50 kW starter are ordinarily connected in parallel in a 12.0 V system. What power (in W) would

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<h3>The power of headlight in series connection is 29.64 W</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Power of headlight $P_{1} = 30$ W

Power of starter $P_{2} = 2500$ W

Voltage of headlight and starter $V = 12$ V

From equation of power,

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

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

For finding the resistance of headlight and starter,

⇒ For headlight,

$R_{1} = \frac{144}{30} = 4.8$ Ω

⇒ For starter,

$R_{2} = \frac{144}{2500} = 0.057$ Ω

Since equivalent resistance,

$R_{eq} = R_{1} + R_{2} + ........$

$R_{eq} = 4.8 +0.057 = 4.857$ Ω

So power in series is given by,

$P_{s } = \frac{V^{2} }{R_{eq} } = \frac{144}{4.857}$

$P_{s } = 29.64$ W

Does a thicker core make an electromagnet stronger?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The core of an electromagnet serves to stabilize the magnetic field created by the wire. The thicker the core, the more metal there is to amplify the current. Therefore, a thicker core does make an electromagnet stronger. Hope this helps!

Find the length of the third side of the triangle.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Image result for What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle below

One way to solve this is to use Pythagorean theorem: the square of one leg of triangle plus square of other leg of the triangle equals c the hypotenuse (longest side of triangle). You might see this as the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.Nov 23, 2016
