Your car's 30.0 W headlight and 2.50 kW starter are ordinarily connected in parallel in a 12.0 V system. What power (in W) would

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<h3>The power of headlight in series connection is 29.64 W</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Power of headlight $P_{1} = 30$ W

Power of starter $P_{2} = 2500$ W

Voltage of headlight and starter $V = 12$ V

From equation of power,

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

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

For finding the resistance of headlight and starter,

⇒ For headlight,

$R_{1} = \frac{144}{30} = 4.8$ Ω

⇒ For starter,

$R_{2} = \frac{144}{2500} = 0.057$ Ω

Since equivalent resistance,

$R_{eq} = R_{1} + R_{2} + ........$

$R_{eq} = 4.8 +0.057 = 4.857$ Ω

So power in series is given by,

$P_{s } = \frac{V^{2} }{R_{eq} } = \frac{144}{4.857}$

$P_{s } = 29.64$ W

A uniform-density 7 kg disk of radius 0.21 m is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle. Initially it is not spinning. A string is

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$\omega = 22.67 rad/s$

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

As per energy conservation conditions we know that work done by external source is converted into kinetic energy of the disc

Now we have

$W = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

now we know that work done is product of force and displacement

so here we have

$W = F.d$

$W = (44 N)(0.9 m) = 39.6 J$

now for moment of inertia of the disc we will have

$I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(7 kg)(0.21^2)$

$I = 0.154 kg m^2$

now from above equation we will have

$39.6 = \frac{1}{2}(0.154)\omega^2$

$\omega = 22.67 rad/s$
