Will a series circuit work if there are two batteries and one light bulb? Help asappp please!

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Doubling the voltage in this arrangement both doubles the voltage drop across the resistor and the current through it. The bulb will be much brighter.

A 1kg box is pushed on a flat surface that is 250m long. The box is initially at rest and then pushed with a constant Net force

sasho [114]

Answer:

C) 50 m/s

Explanation:

With the given information we can calculate the acceleration using the force and mass of the box.

Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma

5 N = 1 kg * a
a = 5 m/s²

List out known variables:

v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 5 m/s²
v = ?
Δx = 250 m

Looking at the constant acceleration kinematic equations, we see that this one contains all four variables:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute known values into the equation and solve for v.

v² = (0)² + 2(5)(250)
v² = 2500
v = 50 m/s

The final velocity of the box is C) 50 m/s.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- <u>For the toaster:</u>

Power = 1.4 kW = 1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s) = 453,600 Joules

-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s) = 415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton $m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg$

Speed $v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2$

$K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)$

$K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)$

$K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $6.76\times10^{-12}\ J$

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is $7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s$
