Voltage= current*resistance or V=IR

so V=18*12= 216 volts

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?
matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.  

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be f_{1}

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg =  f_{1}

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = f_{2}

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = f_{2}

Mg > mg

so, f_{2} > f_{1}

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength

c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to 3\times 10^8\ m/s

<u>Option A is correct.</u>

Given, Frequency = 1\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Thus, Wavelength is:

Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}

Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m

Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m

Also, 1 m = 3\times 10^{-10} Å

So,

<u>Wavelength = 3.0 Å</u>

<u>Option B is correct.</u>

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

<u>Option C is incorrect.</u>

A glider with mass m = 0.230 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.50
loris [4]

Answer

given,

mass of glider = 0.23 Kg

spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m

spring stretched to 0.130 m

The springs potential energy =

 U = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 U = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.5 \times 0.13^2

        U = 0.038 J

at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=0.038

 \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.23 \times v^2=0.038

         v² = 0.3304

         v = 0.575 m/s

displacement of the glider

      using conservation of energy

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 x =v\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

 x =3\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.23}{4.5}}

        x = 0.678 m
