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

if a metal object was cut on half how much heat will be required to raise both half to a specific temperature
il63 [147K]

suppose the mass of a metal object be m and its specific heat capacity be s, and, H joules of heat is required to raise its temperature by t degrees Celsius

Than H is given by relation, H = mst

Now if this object is cut in two half's, than mass of half part will also be half <em>i.e. </em>M/2

So heat required to heat the half part will be = (\frac{m}{2}) st =\frac{mst}{2} = H/2  

Hence, the heat required to raise the half object to a specific temperature will also become half.

Why does a liquid need a container and a solid doesn't?
mamaluj [8]
It is mainly because a solid has a much stronger atom bonds compared to liquid
When liquid is poured, it will always tried to fill up its container because the weakness in its atom bond allow it to do so.
Meanwhile, the form of a solid will stay exactly the same no matter where we put it because the strength of their bond will retain their form.

Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?
drek231 [11]
<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.
