Answer:

The high-beam filament has more resistance than low beam filament.

Explanation:

To determine if the 50 W dissipated by a car’s headlights on high beam, has more or less resistance, formula for power dissipated in the filament is used.

Power = IV

Voltage =IR

∴ Power = I*IR = I²R

where;

I is the current

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

From the equation above, Power dissipated is directly proportional to Resistance.

Hence, the high-beam filament has more resistance than low beam filament.

Airida [17]

Answer: 3 m.

Explanation:

Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.

As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.

If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):

mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0

60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0

Solving for d:

d = 3 m.

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The force exerted on the car during this stop is 6975N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 930kg

Speed, s = 56km/hr = 56 X 5/18 m/s = 15m/s

Time, t = 2s

Force, F = ?

F = m X a

F = m X s/t

F = 930 X 15/2

F = 6975N

Therefore, the force exerted on the car during this stop is 6975N
