Answer:

144 W

Explanation:

The power absorbed by a resistor is the product of the current passing through it and the voltage drop across it. Hence

P=IV

P=12\text{ A}\times12\text{ V}=144 \text{ W}

Other variations of this formula are derived using Ohm's law, V=IR

P=I^2R=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

R is the resistance of the resistor. It is what causes the voltage drop.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9)  =  13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>
