<h2>Answer:</h2>
0.46Ω
<h2>Explanation:</h2>The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;
E = V + Ir --------------------(a)
Where;
I = current flowing through the circuit
But;
V = I x Rₓ ---------------------(b)
Where;
Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.
<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>
The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.
Let;
R₁ = resistance in the first bulb
R₂ = resistance in the second bulb
Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;
P =
=> R = -------------------(ii)
Where;
P = Power of the bulb
V = voltage across the bulb
R = resistance of the bulb
To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;
R₁ = --------------------------------(iii)
Where;
V = 12.0V
P = 4.0W
Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;
R₁ =
R₁ =
R₁ = 36Ω
Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;
R₂ = --------------------------------(iv)
Where;
V = 12.0V
P = 4.0W
Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;
R₂ =
R₂ =
R₂ = 36Ω
Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;
=
+
-----------------(v)
Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;
=
+
=
Rₓ =
Rₓ = 18Ω
The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω
<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>
Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;
11.7 = I x 18
I =
I = 0.65A
<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>
Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A into equation (a) as follows;
12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r
0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7
0.65r = 0.3
r =
r = 0.46Ω
Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω
Answer:
The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s
Explanation:
The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;
The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m
The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m
The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally
Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, = 0 m/s
The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;
s = ·t + 1/2·g·t²
Where;
= 0 m/s
s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m
g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²
t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246
The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m
Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;
uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)
Using a graphing calculator, we get;
uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s
The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.
