A speeding car is going 72 mi/hr. The driver hits the brakes to slow the car down to the 45 mi/hr speed limit. The car has a mas

s of 1.0 metric tons. What is the magnitude of the impulse on the car?

Answer:

I = -12070 N.s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of 1.0 metric tons = 1000 kg

initial speed = 72mi/hr = 32.19 m/s

final speed = 45mi/hr = 20.12 m/s

Impulse = change in momentum

I = mv-mu

I = m(v-u)

I = 10³(20.12 - 32.19)

I = 10³(-12.07)

I = -12070 N.s

The negative sign signifies that the impulse way is to the opposite direction.

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.7 V when operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated a

wariber [46]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.46Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;

E = V + Ir --------------------(a)

Where;

I = current flowing through the circuit

But;

V = I x Rₓ ---------------------(b)

Where;

Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.

<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>

The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.

Let;

R₁ = resistance in the first bulb

R₂ = resistance in the second bulb

Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;

P = $\frac{V^{2} }{R}$

=> R = $\frac{V^{2} }{P}$ -------------------(ii)

Where;

P = Power of the bulb

V = voltage across the bulb

R = resistance of the bulb

To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₁ = $\frac{V^{2} }{P}$ --------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

R₁ = $\frac{12.0^{2} }{4}$

R₁ = $\frac{144}{4}$

R₁ = 36Ω

Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₂ = $\frac{V^{2} }{P}$ --------------------------------(iv)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

R₂ = $\frac{12.0^{2} }{4}$

R₂ = $\frac{144}{4}$

R₂ = 36Ω

Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;

$\frac{1}{R_{X} }$ = $\frac{1}{R_1}$ + $\frac{1}{R_2}$ -----------------(v)

Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;

$\frac{1}{R_X}$ = $\frac{1}{36}$ + $\frac{1}{36}$

$\frac{1}{R_X}$ = $\frac{2}{36}$

Rₓ = $\frac{36}{2}$

Rₓ = 18Ω

The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω

<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>

Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;

11.7 = I x 18

I = $\frac{11.7}{18}$

I = 0.65A

<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>

Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A into equation (a) as follows;

12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r

0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7

0.65r = 0.3

r = $\frac{0.3}{0.65}$

r = 0.46Ω

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

<u>Option A is correct.</u>

Given, Frequency = $1\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

Thus, Wavelength is:

$Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}$

$Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m$

$Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Also, 1 m = $3\times 10^{-10}$ Å

So,

<u>Wavelength = 3.0 Å</u>

<u>Option B is correct.</u>

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

<u>Option C is incorrect.</u>
