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.

2.(Ramp section) Suppose the height of the ramp is h1= 0.40m, and the foot of the ramp is horizontal, and is h2= 1.5m above the
frozen [14]

Answer:

a) the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b) the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

c) the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

 

Explanation:

Given that;

height of the ramp h1 = 0.40 m

foot of the ramp above the floor h2 = 1.50 m

assuming R = 15 mm = 0.015 m

density of steel = 7.8 g/cm³

density of aluminum =  2.7 g/cm³

a) distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction;

we know that

distance = speed × time

d = vt --------let this be equ 1

according to the law of conservation of energy

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv²

v² = 2gh₁  

v = √(2gh₁)

from the second equation; s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} at²

that is; t = √(2h₂/g)

so we substitute for equations into equation 1

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = √(2gh₁) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 2√( h₁h₂ )    

we plug in our values

d = 2√( 0.40 × 1.5 )

d = 1.55 m

Therefore, the distance that the solid steel sphere sliding down the ramp without friction is 1.55 m

b)

distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  )

so we substitute √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) for v and  t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) × √(2h₂/g)  

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )  

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid steel sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

 

c)

distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping;

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{3}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ )

so we substitute √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ ) for v and t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1 again

d = vt

d = √( \frac{6}{5}gh₁ ) × √(2h₂/g)

d = 1.549√( h₁h₂ )

d = 1.549√( 0.4 × 1.5 )

d = 1.2 m

Therefore, the distance that a spherical steel shell with shell thickness 1.0 mm rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.2 m

d) distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping.

we know that;

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} I_{}ω²

mgh₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv² + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mR²) ω²

v = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  )

so we substitute √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) for v and  t = √(2h₂/g) in equation 1;

d = vt

d = √( \frac{10}{7}gh₁  ) × √(2h₂/g)  

d = 1.69√( h₁h₂ )

we substitute our values

d = 1.69√( 0.4 × 1.5 )  

d = 1.31 m

Therefore, the distance that a solid aluminum sphere rolling down the ramp without slipping is 1.31 m

A student measured the specific heat of water to be 4.29 J/g.Co. The
leonid [27]

Answer:

2.63 %.

Explanation:

Given that,

The calculated value of the specific heat of water is 4.29 J/g.C

Original value of  specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g.C.

We need to find the student's percent error. The percentage error in any quantity is given by :

P=\dfrac{|\text{original value-calculated value}|}{\text{original value}}\times 100\\\\P=\dfrac{4.29-4.18}{4.18}\times 100\\\\P=2.63\%

So, the student's percent error is 2.63 %.

Life cycle of a medium mass star
miskamm [114]

Our sun is a medium mass star, so it wouldn't be too different from the sun's life cycle. It is born, lives for about 10 billion years and then dies. ... As a medium mass star nears the end of its life, it runs out of hydrogen which it has been fusing onto helium in its core for its whole life.

What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is A. 32.5

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.

Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.

MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and  r is the radius of the axle.

Substituting for the values in the question gives:

MA=26cm/0.8cm

    =32.5
