Answer:

time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Explanation:

given data

half distance time = 1.50 s

to find out

find the total time of its fall

solution

we consider here s is total distance

so equation of motion for distance

s = ut + 0.5 × at²   .........1

here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time

so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be

0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)²     ........................1

and

velocity will be

v = u + at

so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5)    ..................2

so first we find time

0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5)  + 0.5 ( 9.8)

solve and we get t

t = 3.37 s

so time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Two light bulbs have resistances of 400 Ω and 800 ΩThe two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120- V line. Find the cu
Natasha2012 [34]

1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

P=I^2 R

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W

For the second bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W
