A new mechanic foolishly connects an ammeter with 0.1 Ω resistance directly across a 12-V car battery with internal resistance o

f 0.01 Ω. What’s the power dissipation in the meter? (No wonder it gets destroyed!)

Answer:

The power dissipated by the meter is 1188W

Explanation:

Here we have a circuit constituted with a power source and two resistors in series, we can calculate the power dissipated by the meter using the following formula:

P=I^2R_m

We first need to fin the current going through the circuit:

I=\frac{V}{R}\\where:\\V=voltage\\R=resistance

R=R_s+R_m

because they are connected in series. So:

I=\frac{12V}{(0.01+0.1)}=109A

P=(109)^2*0.1=1188W

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

Cerrena [4.2K]
The answer for this problem would be:
Assuming non-relativistic momentum, then you have: 
ΔxΔp = mΔxΔv = h / (4) 
Δv = h / (4πmΔx) 
m ~ 1.67e-27 h ~ 6.62e-34,Δx = 4e-15 --> 
Δv ~ 6.62e-34 / (4π * 1.67e-27 * 4e-15) ~ 7,886,270 m/s ~ 7.89e6 m/s 
That's about 1% of the speed of light, the assumption that it's non-relativistic.
