Lets us consider an example:

Suppose a 10 ohm bulb is connected across the terminals of a 10 V

battery having 2ohm internal resistance.

Then total reistance in series we know, R1 + R2

Thus, R net = 10+ 2 = 12 ohm

The, current across circuit = 10/12= 0.833 A

Now, Power is given by $P = i^{2} R \\ \\$

Thus, power dissipated across internal resistance, P = $0.83^{2} * 2 = 1.37 Watt$

And, total power dissipated = $0.83^{2} * 12 = 8.2 watt$

Thsu, percentage of pwer not avaible = 1.37/8.2 = 16.70%

A 0.15 g honeybee acquires a charge of 22 pC while flying. The electric field near the surface of the earth is typically 100 N/C

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$1.50\ *10^{-6} }$

Explanation:

Given

e=100 N/C

M=0.15 g

$q=\ 22\ pC\\=\ 22\ *10^{-2}$

The ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee's weight can be determined by the following formula

$\frac{fe}{M*9.81}$

$\frac{22*10^{-12\ *\ 100} }{0.15*\ 10^{-3} *\ 9.81}$

$=\ 1.50\ *10^{-6}$

A car manufacturer wants to change its car’s design to increase the car’s acceleration. Which changes should the engineers consi

likoan [24]

Answer:

The car manufacturers could increase bore of the cylinders, place the engine in the center or back of the car, add 1 to 2 turbochargers, and lower the center of gravity of the vehicle to increase traction.

Explanation:

Turbochargers would be recommended because they significantly increase both the torque of the engine as well as the amount of horses powering the car while also increasing original efficiency both with and without the additional power. Weight adjustment allows for lightweight vehicles with good traction. This is important to both keep control of the car under acceleration, but it also makes the vehicle more efficient due to the now sheddable unnecessary weight. A more obvious approach would be to increase the base horsepower and torque of the engine by increasing the bore of the cylinders and the weight of the pistons. This acts as an inertial lever, because the extra piston weight will drag the crankshaft faster. This could also be achieved by taking away piston weight, but this could be catastrophic should a piston slip.

Superman takes 8 seconds to stop a runway train over a distance of 58 m using a power of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Workdone = 600 Kilojoules

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Time = 8 seconds

Power = 75,000 Watts

Distance = 58 m

To find the work done;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Power = \frac {Energy}{time}$

Thus, work done is given by the formula;

Workdone = power * time

Workdone = 75000 * 8

Workdone = 600,000 = 600 KJ
