A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to
1 answer:
The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.
The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:
where
V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.
The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

Answer:
a) The velocity is 2.94m/s
b) 0.441
Explanation:
a) Assume gravity is 9.8m/s^2
Use the equation below to solve for the velocity at 0.30 seconds
,
vf =unknown velocity vi= initial velocity vi=0m/s a= 9.8m/s^2 t=0.30seconds
Step 1: Substitute the variables with the knowns
Step 2: Solve
b)
Use the equation below to solve for the displacement at 0.30 seconds
Step 1: Substitute the same variables with the knowns
Note that vi*t=0 as vi=0m/s
Step 2: Solve
x=0.441m
