A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista

nce they both would reach the ground at the same time. The reason for this is that the force on each ball is the same.True / False.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.

A student is given three wires that are made from different materials, but each wire has the same physical dimensions. For a giv

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a smaller resistivity

Explanation:

Since they are connected to a constant voltage power source, the potential difference does not change. The potential difference is proportional to the product of the current and the resistance and, the resistance opposes the flow of electric current. It is clear to see that a large current that flows through the current means there is a lesser resistance to the flow of current at constant potential difference across the circuit.

A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

$P=IV$

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

$E=Pt=VIt$

Where

$It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s$

So the energy delivered is

$E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J$

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

$t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h$

Say that you are in a large room at temperature TC = 300 K. Someone gives you a pot of hot soup at a temperature of TH = 340 K.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:0.061

Explanation:

Given

$T_C=300 k$

Temperature of soup $T_H=340 K$

heat capacity of soup $c_v=33 J/K$

Here Temperature of soup is constantly decreasing

suppose T is the temperature of soup at any instant

efficiency is given by

$\eta =\frac{dW}{Q}=1-\frac{T_C}{T}$

$dW=Q(1-\frac{T_C}{T})$

$dW=c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT$

integrating From $T_H$ to $T_C$

$\int dW=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}c_v(1-\frac{T_C}{T})dT$

$W=\int_{T_C}^{T_H}33\cdot (1-\frac{300}{T})dT$

$W=c_v\left [ T-T_C\ln T\right ]_{T_H}^{T_C}$

$W=c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]$

Now heat lost by soup is given by

$Q=c_v(T_C-T_H)$

Fraction of the total heat that is lost by the soup can be turned is given by

$=\frac{W}{Q}$

$=\frac{c_v\left [ \left ( T_C-T_H\right )-T_C\left ( \ln \frac{T_C}{T_H}\right )\right ]}{c_v(T_C-T_H)}$

$=\frac{T_C-T_H-T_C\ln (\frac{T_C}{T_H})}{T_C-T_H}$

$=\frac{300-340-300\ln (\frac{300}{340})}{300-340}$

$=\frac{-40+37.548}{-40}$

$=0.061$
