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: The distance is 723.4km
Explanation:
The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s
The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s
The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.
if the distance is X, we know that:
X/(9.8km/s) = T1
X/(5.1km/s) = T2
T2 = T1 + 68s
Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.
We replace the third equation into the second and get:
X/(9.8km/s) = T1
X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s
Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:
X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s
Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.
X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s
X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s
X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km
I found this using the app Socratic. When I took physics in high school it helped me so much.
Answer:
1.6 kg
Step-by-step Solution:
Since Force = mass × acceleration we have:
F = 8N
a= 5 m/s^2
m = ?
By plugging the values above into F=ma we obtain:
Therefore, the Chromebook has a mass of 1.6 kilograms.
