Answer:
a) 0.1832 A
b) 11.91 Volts
c) 2.18 Watt , 0.0168 Watt
Explanation:
(a)
R = external resistor connected to the terminals of the battery = 65 Ω
E = Emf of the battery = 12.0 Volts
r = internal resistance of the battery = 0.5 Ω
i = current flowing in the circuit
Using ohm's law
E = i (R + r)
12 = i (65 + 0.5)
i = 0.1832 A
(b)
Terminal voltage is given as
= i R
= (0.1832) (65)
= 11.91 Volts
(c)
Power dissipated in the resister R is given as
= i²R
= (0.1832)²(65)
= 2.18 Watt
Power dissipated in the internal resistance is given as
= i²r
= (0.1832)²(0.5)
= 0.0168 Watt
Answer:
one-third of its weight on Earth's surface
Explanation:
Weight of an object is = W = m*g
Gravity on Earth = g₁ = 9.8 m/s
Gravity on Mars = g₂ = g₁
Weight of probe on earth = w₁ = m * g₁
Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₂ -------- ( 1 )
As g₂ = g₁/3 --------- ( 2 )
Put equation (2) in equation (1)
so
Weight of probe on Mars = w₂ = m * g₁ /3
Weight of probe on Mars = m * g₁ =
w₁
⇒Weight of probe on Mars = Weight of probe on earth
