A 110 V power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 400 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in

parallel on this line without "blowing" the fuse because of an excess of current

Answer:

Total number of lamps will be 4            

Explanation:

We have given power of the lamp W = 400 watt

Potential difference across the lamp V=110 volt

We know that power is equal to P=VI

So 400=110\times I

I=3.636A

Total current is given 15 A

As it is given that lamps are connected in parallel so total current is the sum of current through each lamp

So number of lamp will be n=\frac{15}{3.636}=4.125

As the lamp can not be in negative

So total number of lamps will be 4

Apply a force of 50N to the left describe the motion of the box
GenaCL600 [577]
When a force is applied to the box , this will cause an acceleration to the box.
(force =mass×acceleration)

So the box has a constant acceleration and a changing velocity.

When jumping, a flea rapidly extends its legs, reaching a takeoff speed of 1.0 m/s over a distance of 0.50 mm find acceleration.
Anna [14]

Solution:

In this question we have given,

initial velocity,u = 0

final velocity, v = 1m/s

displacement =.5mm             (Because 1mm=.001m)

We have to find

1.acceleration

2. Time

1. we know third equation of motion is given as,

v^{2} =u^{2} + 2as............(1)

Put values of v,u and s in equation (1)

[tex]s=1^{2} = 0^{2} +2X.0005Xa\\1= .001a\\therefore, a = 1/.001\\ a= 1000m/s^{2}

2. We know First equation of motion is given as

v=u+at......................(2)

put values of v, u and a in equation(2)

1= 0 + 1000t\\t= 1/1000\\t= 0.001s

What is the focal length of the eye-lens system when viewing an object at infinity? Assume that the lens-retina distance is 2.0
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Focal length of the eye-lens is 2.0 cm

Explanation:

Given:

An eye-lens system which will follow converging lens (convex lens) sign conventions and knowing that lens-retina distance is the image distance.

Object distance, u = -\infty

Image distance, v = 2.0 cm

We have to find the focal length.

Lets say that the focal length is f .

Lens Formula:

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{-u} +\frac{1}{v}

Sign-convention:

We will follow the Cartesian coordinate,placing the lens at the origin of the plane, optical center is at (0,0) now as the object will be towards negative x-axis so it is negative others are on the right side of the origin so they are positive.

Using the lens formula:

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{-u} +\frac{1}{v}

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{-\infty} +\frac{1}{2.0}      

⇒ \frac{1}{f} =0+\frac{1}{2.0}         <em>...as </em> \frac{1}{\infty}=0 a<em>nd there is no </em>-0<em> so it is zero only.</em>

⇒ f=2.0 cm

So the focal length is 2.0 cm with two significant figures.
