Resistance of the bulb is 7.5 ohms

Explanation:

  • In a circuit, according to Ohm's Law, the potential difference (voltage) across an element is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

That is, V ∝ I

⇒ V = IR, where R is the constant of proportionality called the resistance.

  • Here, current, I = 0.4 A and potential difference, V = 3 V

Resistance, R = V/I = 3/0.4 = 7.5 ohms

Answer:

  an object sliding down hill

Explanation:

On a slope, the force applied is due to gravity. Its direction is straight down. If the object is sliding down the hill, its displacement is at an angle to the applied force. The angle of displacement will depend on the steepness of the hill.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Angular frequency is 20 rad/s.      

Explanation:

Given that,

A block is attached to an oscillating spring. The function below shows its position (cm) vs. time (s) is given by :

x(t)=1.5\cos(20\ t).....(1)

The general equation of oscillating particle is given by :

x(t)=A\cos(\omega t).......(2)

Compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

\omega=20\ rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the oscillation is 20 rad/s.

A ball is hurled straight up at a speed of 15 m/s, leaving the hand of the thrower 2.00 m above the ground. Compute the times an
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

5.37 m/s

0.98 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times -9.81\times 10+15^2}\\\Rightarrow v=5.37\ m/s

Velocity of the ball when it passes an observer sitting at a window is 5.37 m/s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{5.37-15}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=0.98\ s

Time taken by the ball to pass the observer sitting at a window is 0.98 seconds

you are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on thhe opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tre
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

tan61 = \frac{y}{x}

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

A 2.3 kg cart is rolling across a frictionless, horizontal track toward a 1.5 kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Part a)

P = 7.5 kg m/s

Part b)

v = 3.26 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that two carts are moving in opposite directions

so here total momentum of two carts must be given by vector subtraction

It is given as

P = m_1\vec v_1 + m_2\vec v_2

P = (2.3)(4.5) + (1.5)(-1.9)

P = 7.5 kg m/s

Now we know that total momentum of the system is conserved here as there is no external force on this system

so the speed of the first cart when second cart was at rest is given as

P = m_1 v_1 + 0

7.5 = 2.3 v

v = 3.26 m/s
