An automobile tire is rated to last for 35,000 miles. to an order of magnitude, through how many revolutions will it turn?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The tire will rotate about 10 million times. An automobile tire is slightly less than 2 and half feet in diameter. It's circumference is that times pi with is a bit over 3. So 2.5 * 3 = 7.5 ft as an estimate for how far the tire rolls per revolution. A mile is a bit over 5000 feet, so call it 700 revolutions per mile. For the 35000 miles, call it 7 times 5000 miles. Now 7 times 7 is a bit under 50, so call 7 * 700 = 5000. And 5000 times 5000 = 25000000. The nearest order of magnitude is 10 million. So as an order of magnitude estimate, a automobile tire will rotate about 10 million times during it's life.</span>

Answer:

When they are connected in series

The 50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating of the first bulb is $P_1 = 100 \ W$

The power rating of the second bulb is $P_2 = 50 \ W$

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

$P_1 = V^2 R$

Where $V$ is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

$R_1 = \frac{V^2}{P_1 }$

substituting values

$R_1 = \frac{V^2}{100}$

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

$R_2 = \frac{V^2}{50}$

From the above calculation we see that

$R_2 > R_1$

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as

$P_ 1 = I^2_1 R_1$

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as

$P_ 2 = I^2_2 R_2$

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

$I_1^2 = I_2^2$

This means that

$P \ \alpha \ R$

So when they are connected in series

$P_2 > P_1$

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

Explanation:

1. Convex mirror is curved outward.

2. Convex mirror forms an image that is smaller than the object.

3. Concave mirror is used to focus light rays. That's why it is also known as a converging mirror.

4. Plane mirror has a flat surface. It forms the same size of the image as that of the object.
