Answer:

5 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V

Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V

Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A

Let the internal resistance be 'r'.

Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:

V_d=Ir

Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:

V= E-V_d\\\\V=E-Ir

Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:

Ir=E-V\\\\r=\frac{E-V}{I}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,

r=\frac{60-40}{4}\\\\r=\frac{20}{4}\\\\r=5\ ohms

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.

A car driving at a constant speed of 64 mi/h travels 68 miles. How many hours did this take?
babymother [125]
64 miles/hour
Therefore 1/64 hours/mile
68 miles * 1/64 hours/mile (notice how miles cancels out)
Therefore the answer is 68/64 hours = 1.0625 hours = 1 hour 3min and 45sec.

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltage. B) only the frequenc
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.
