Answer:

The option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of work done is as follows;

P=\frac{W}{t}

Here, W is the work done, t is the time taken and P is the power.

According to the given problem, six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then determined.

The expression for the equivalent resistance in the series combination is as follows;

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{6}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{6}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=6R

It is given in the problem that a seventh resistor is added (in series).

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{7}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{7}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=7R

The expression for the power in terms of voltage and resistance is as follows;

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

Here, R is the resistance.

From the above expression, it can be concluded that the power, the number of joules per second supplied by the battery is inversely proportional to the resistance. The equivalent resistance increases if the seventh resistance is connected with a battery.

If a seventh resistor is added (in series) the number of joules per second supplied by the battery decreases.

Therefore, the option (b) is correct.

When a 2.40-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.92 cm.(a) Wh
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

805.48N/m

Explanation:

According to Hookes law

F = Ke

F is the force = mg

F = 2.4×9.8 = 23.52N

e is the extension = 2.92cm = 0.0292m

Force constant K = F/e

K = 23.52/0.0292

K = 805.48N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 805.48N/m

How much power does a 2000 kg car need to accelerate from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 7 seconds?
Alexus [3.1K]

firstly you get your acceleration with the formula, a=v-u/t. Then you use the formula for kinetic energy 1/2mv^2

then you can finally get the answer for power by dividing your previous answer by the time

An assault rifle fires an eight-shot burst in 0.40 s. Each bullet has a mass of 7.5 g and a speed of 300 m/s as it leaves the gu
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

Explanation:

Mass of each bullet, m = 7.5 g = 0.0075 kg

Speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

Time, t = 0.4 s

The change in momentum of an object is equal to impulse delivered. So,

F\times t=mv\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

For 8 shot burst, average recoil force on the gun is :

F=\dfrac{8mv}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{7.5}{1000}\cdot\dfrac{300}{0.4}\cdot8\\\\F=45\ N

So, the average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.
