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

60 POINTS ANSWER CORRECTLY
ohaa [14]

Answer:

C ) 1.53

Explanation:

The critical angle of a material is given by the formula

sin c = \frac{1}{n}

where

c is the critical angle

n is the refractive index

This formula is valid if the second medium is air (which is the case of the problem).

In this problem, we know the critical angle:

c=40.8^{\circ}

Therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the refractive index:

n=\frac{1}{sin c}=\frac{1}{sin 40.8^{\circ}}=1.53

Hello, my younger sister is stuck on this and I just got on here to ask this question. I have my original account but I just mad
nignag [31]

Answer:

Hi there!

I'm sorry your sister is struggling!

I am an edgenuity student in grade 11, I could probably help!

A trend is a line on a graph that all points seem to follow. This is best explained when thinking about line of best fit. If all your points go upward each time and are closed together, we can find the line that gets closest to each point!

Think of a trend as a pattern. The line of best fit, created by analyzing the trends, helps us guess at what the data points beyond what we have will equal

Is there any clarification she needs?

Difference between kilogram and kilometre in points​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Kilogram(kg) is the SI unit for mass while kilometre(km) is a unit for length. They are both similar in that they are 10^3 of a unit, thus kilo. As kilogram represents mass, it is a measure of how much matter is present in an object. While kilometre is a measure of distance/how long or short an object is.

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

v=1.76t

The velocity is, by definition: v=\frac{dx}{dt}, so

dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}.

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s

At this time the velocity is: v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is 6.2225\frac{m}{s}, so:

t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s
