Answer:

55.8W

Explanation:

P= V^2/R

R= V^2/P

For series connection

Req= R1+ R2= V^2/310 + V^2/180

R=V^2/P= V^2/310 + V^2/180

But V^2 will cancel out

P= 1/(1/310 + 1/180)

P= 55.8W

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Heater 1:

Power, P1 = 310 W

Heater 2:

Power, P2 = 180 W

Power, P = I^2 × R

Equivalent resistance in series, Req

Req = R1 + R2

Where,

R1 = resistance in heater 1

R2 = resistance in heater 2

Total Power, Pt = V^2 × Req

Since they were connected to the same battery of voltage, V. In series connection,

= P1 + P2

P1 = V^2/R1

Req = V^2/P

= V^2/310 + V^2/180

1/Pt = (1/310 + 1/180)

= 0.0087814

Pt = 113.88 W

A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i
Veseljchak [2.6K]

a. The magnitude of the change of the momentum of the 5-kg ball is equal to the magnitude of the change of momentum of the 10-kg ball.

c. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is greater than that of the 10-kg ball.

Explanation:

For an inelastic collision:

  • The total momentum of the system is conserved
  • The total kinetic energy of the system is not conserved

Using these facts, let's now analyze each statement given.

a. The magnitude of the change of the momentum of the 5-kg ball is equal to the magnitude of the change of momentum of the 10-kg ball.  --> TRUE. Since the total momentum is conserved, we can write:

p_1 = p_1'+p_2'

where

p_1 is the initial momentum of the 5-kg ball

p_1' is the final momentum of the 5-kg ball

p_2' is the final momentum of the 10-kg ball

The equation can be rewritten as

p_1-p_1'=p_2'

which is equivalent to

-\Delta p_1 = \Delta p_2

which means that the magnitude of the change of momentum of the two balls is the same.

b. Both balls lose all their momentum since the collision is inelastic.  --> FALSE, the 10-kg ball gains momentum, so it does not lose it.

c. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is greater than that of the 10-kg ball.  --> TRUE. We already said that the magnitude of the change in momentum of the two balls is the same. However, it can be written as

\Delta p = m\Delta v

where m is the mass of the ball and \Delta v its change in velocity. Therefore, the 5-kg ball (which has smaller mass) will have a larger \Delta v, so a larger change in velocity.

d. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is equal to that of the 10-kg ball.  --> FALSE, as we discussed in c).

e. The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball. --> FALSE, as we discussed in c).

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is  taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.

List at least three pieces of evidence to support the idea that sound is a wave.
Schach [20]

Answer:

1. It undergoes reflection. 2. It undergoes refraction. 3. It undergoes diffraction.

Explanation:

1. It undergoes reflection. This is because it bounces off surfaces when incident on them.

2. It undergoes refraction. This is because it changes direction when it passes from one medium to another

3. It undergoes diffraction. This is because it spreads out when it passes through doors and windows similar in dimension to the dimensions of its wavelength
