Answer:

An object could be determined as solid:

-It doesn't change shape easily.

-when lots of heat applied till melting point, it would melt or thaw (basically turn into liquid).

-turn to pieces or bent when enough force applied to it.

-the molecules attached with each other by strong forces, creating strong bonds.

An object could be determined as liquid:

-It changes shaped based on the container.

-when lots of heat applied till boiling point, it would vaporize

-the molecules have weak bonds, creating a lot of spaces.

-when heat extracted from the liquid till freezing point, it would freeze/hardened (turn into solid)

An object could be determined as gas:

-it doesn't have any shape or form.

-if fills in the container.

-if lots of heat applied, its molecules are going to move, vibrate,and transist faster; increasing pressure and volume.

-The molecules have very weak bonds, creating spacious space.

-when the heat are being extracted till certain freezing point, it is going to turn into liquid, then solid.

Two lamps rated 60W; 240V and 100W, 240Vrespectively are connected in series to a 240V power source. Calculate;

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The total power of the circuit is equal to the sum of the powers of each lamp.

$P=60+100\\P=160 [W]$

Now we have a voltage source equal to 240 [V], so by means of the following equation we can find the current circulating in the circuit.

$P=V*I$

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

$I = P/V\\I=160/240\\I=0.67 [amp]$

So this is the answer for c) I = 0.67 [amp]

We know that the voltage of each lamp is 240 [V]. Therefore using ohm's law which is equal to the product of resistance by current we can find the voltage of each lamp.

$V=I*R$

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohms]

Therefore we replace this equation in the first to have the current as a function of the resistance and not the voltage.

$P=V*I\\and\\V = I*R\\P = (I*R)*I\\P=I^{2}*R$

$60 = (0.67)^{2}*R\\R_{60}=133.66[ohm] \\and\\100=(0.67)^{2} *R\\R_{100}=100/(0.66^{2} )\\R_{100}=225 [ohm]$

The effective resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistors connected in series.

$R = 133.66 + 225\\R = 358.67 [ohms]$

If the resultant of two velocity vectors of equal magnitude is also of the same magnitude, then which statement must be correct?

Tamiku [17]

The correct option is C) The angle between the vectors is 120°.

Why?

We can solve the problem and find the correct option using the Law of Cosine.

Let A and B, the given two sides and R the resultant (sum),

Then,

$R=A=B$

So, using the law of cosines, we have:

$R^{2}=A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos(\alpha)\\ \\A^{2}=A^{2}+A^{2}+2*A*A*Cos(\alpha)\\\\0=A^{2}+2*A^{2}*Cos(\alpha)\\\\Cos(\alpha)=-\frac{A^{2}}{2*A^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\\\alpha =Cos(-\frac{1}{2})^{-1}=120\°$
