Answer:

The answers and workings is in the Explanation section

Explanation:

<em>In a simple circuit a 6-volt dry cell pushes charge through a single lamp which has a resistance of 3 Ω. According to Ohms law the current through the circuit is _____________ Amps. </em>

According to Ohm’s law V =I*R  

Where V = Voltage, I = Current and R = Resistance

I = V/R =6/3 =2 Amps of current

Answer = 2 Amps

<em> If a second identical lamp is connected in series, the 6-volt battery must push a charge through a total resistance of ________ Ω</em>.  <em>The current in the circuit is then __________ Amps. </em>

Since the second lamp is connected in series with the first, the total resistance will R₂ = 3 + 3 = 6Ω

2 resistance in series  R₂ =  6Ω

The current in the circuit with the two lamps connected in series is I₂ =V/R₂ =6/6 = 1 Amps

The current is 1 Amps

Answer =  6Ω  and 1 Amps

<em>If a third identical lamp is connected in series, the total resistance is now _________Ω.  The current through all three lamps in series is now _________ Amps.  </em>

Since the third lamp is connected in series with the first and second, the total resistance will R₃ = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9Ω

total resistance of the 3 lamps R₃ =  9Ω

The current in the circuit with the three lamps connected in series is

I =V/R₃ =6/9 = 0.67 Amps

The current through the 3 lamps I₃ = 0.67 Amps

Answer =  9Ω  and 0.67 Amps

<em>The current through each individual lamp is __________ Amps.  </em>

Since all 3 lamps are connected in series, the same current will flow through each of the  3 lamps, and that current is I₃  

The current through each individual lamp is 0.67 Amp

Answer = 0.67 Amp

<em>What is the power when a voltage of 120 volts drives a current of 3 amps through a device?  </em>

The formula for power P = I*V =120*3 = 360 Watts

power P  = 360 Watts

Answer = 360 Watts

<em>What is the current when a 90-W light bulb is connected to 120 V? </em>

From P =I*V, make I the subject of the formula, I = P/V =90/120 = 0.75

Current= 0.75 Amps

Answer =  0.75 Amps

<em>How much current does a 75-W light bulb draw when connected to 120 V?</em>  

Current I =P/V = 75/120 = 0.625 Amps.

Answer = 0.625 Amps

<em>If part of an electric circuit dissipates energy at 6 W when it draws a current of 3 A, what voltage is impressed across it? </em>

Voltage V =P/I =6/3 =2 Volts

Answer = 2 Volts

<em> If a 60 W light bulb at 120 V is left on in your house to prevent burglary, and the power company charges 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, how much will it cost to leave the bulb on for 30 days? Show your work. </em>

24 hours make 1 day, so the number of hours the bulb was left on = 24 *30 = 720 hours

The power rating of the bulb is 60W = 60/1000 = 0.06 KiloWatt

Total power consumed in kilowatt-hour = 0.06 * 720 = 43.2 kilowatt-hour

Cost for 30 days = 0.1*43.2 = $4.32 ( note that 10 Cents = $0.1)

Answer =  $4.32

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 3.5 seconds later. What is the depth of the well? Take the spee
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The depth of the well, s = 54.66 m

Given:

time, t = 3.5 s

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

Solution:

By using second equation of motion for the distance traveled by the stone when dropped into a well:

s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Since, the stone is dropped, its initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

and acceleration is due to gravity only, the above eqn can be written as:

s = \frac{1}{2}gt'^{2}

s = \frac{1}{2}9.8t^{2} = 4.9t'^{2}                     (1)

Now, when the sound inside the well travels back, the distance covered,s is given by:

s = v\times t''

s = 343\times t''                                              (2)

Now, total time taken by the sound to travel:

t = t' + t''

t'' = 3.5 - t'                                                                        (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

s = 343(3.5 - t')                                                                 (4)

from eqn (1) and (4):

4.9t'^{2} = 343(3.5 - t')

4.9t'^{2} + 343t' - 1200.5 = 0

Solving the above quadratic eqn:

t' = 3.34 s

Now, substituting t' = 3.34 s in eqn (2)

s = 54.66 m

How can a force change the motion of an object that is already moving?
lara [203]

Answer:They may cause motion to change

Explanation:They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.

Which of the following represents a chemical change to matter? A. digestion of food B. melting an ice cube C. shredding paper D.
guajiro [1.7K]
The answer is A. digestion of food. The chemical change to matter means that the molecule structure has been destroyed. For B, C and D. the matter are still ice, paper and ice. So they are physical change.
