A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

rated at 51.0 A · h and each headlight requires 27.0 W of power, how long will it take the battery to completely discharge?

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

P=IV

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

E=Pt=VIt

Where

It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s

So the energy delivered is

E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h

The kinetic energy of a baseball is doubled by changing the speed of the baseball. By what factor has its speed changed? √ 2 v i
leonid [27]

Answer:

1/√2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of a body is expressed as

KE = 1/2mv²

If it's KE is doubled

2KE = 1/2mv1² where v1 is the new speed when the kinetic energy is doubled

To know the value of the amount the velocity has changed, we will divide both equations

2KE/KE = (1/2mv²)/(1/2mv1²)

2 = v²/v1²

(v/v1)² = 2

v/v1 = √2

v1 = v/√2

v1 = 1/√2 × v

The new velocity has changed by

1/√2vinitial

What are three mechanisms for reproductive isolation? Which Mechanism isolates two populations of similar frogs with different m
saul85 [17]
The mechanisms of reproductive isolation are:
1) Habitat isolation
2) Behavioral isolation
3) Mechanical isolation
4) Gametic isolation
The isolation happening here is behavioral isolation, because their different behavior patterns prevent the frogs from breeding.

Explain the relationship between energy and the potential to do work
Alenkinab [10]
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.
