Answer:

Option d

Explanation:

When we throw an object in the upward direction, we provide it with certain initial velocity due to which it covers a certain distance up to the maximum height.

While the object is moving in the upward direction, its velocity keeps on reducing due to the acceleration due to gravity which acts vertically downwards in the opposite direction thus reducing its velocity.

So, the maximum height attained by the object is the point where this upward velocity of the body becomes zero and after that the object starts to fall down.

Energy transfer takes place when energy moves from one place to another. Energy can move from one object to another, like when the energy from your moving foot is transferred to a soccer ball, or energy can change from one form to another.

Two lamps rated 60W; 240V and 100W, 240Vrespectively are connected in series to a 240V power source. Calculate;

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The total power of the circuit is equal to the sum of the powers of each lamp.

$P=60+100\\P=160 [W]$

Now we have a voltage source equal to 240 [V], so by means of the following equation we can find the current circulating in the circuit.

$P=V*I$

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

$I = P/V\\I=160/240\\I=0.67 [amp]$

So this is the answer for c) I = 0.67 [amp]

We know that the voltage of each lamp is 240 [V]. Therefore using ohm's law which is equal to the product of resistance by current we can find the voltage of each lamp.

$V=I*R$

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohms]

Therefore we replace this equation in the first to have the current as a function of the resistance and not the voltage.

$P=V*I\\and\\V = I*R\\P = (I*R)*I\\P=I^{2}*R$

$60 = (0.67)^{2}*R\\R_{60}=133.66[ohm] \\and\\100=(0.67)^{2} *R\\R_{100}=100/(0.66^{2} )\\R_{100}=225 [ohm]$

The effective resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistors connected in series.

$R = 133.66 + 225\\R = 358.67 [ohms]$

Why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky

barxatty [35]

Answer: These apparent star tracks are in fact not due to the stars moving, but to the rotational motion of the Earth. As the Earth rotates with an axis that is pointed in the direction of the North Star, stars appear to move from east to west in the sky.
