Two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source of EMF = 8.0V with a negligible internal resistance. One bulb has a resistan

ce of 3.0Ω , and the other is 2.5Ω . A resistor R is connected in the circuit in series with the two bulbs.
(a) What value of R should be chosen in order to supply each bulb with a voltage of 2.4 V?
(b) For what value of R would the potential difference across each of the bulbs be 2.4 V?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.18Ω

(b) 3.18Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let the two bulbs be A and B

Given;

R_{A} = Resistance in bulb A = 3.0Ω

R_{B} = Resistance in bulb B = 2.5Ω

Since the two bulbs are connected in parallel;

i. their effective resistance (R_{X}) is given by

\frac{1}{R_{X}} = \frac{1}{R_{A} } + \frac{1}{R_{B} }  ---------------(i)

Substitute the values of R_{A} and R_{B} into equation (i)

=> \frac{1}{R_{X}} = \frac{1}{3.0} + \frac{1}{2.5}

Solve for  R_{X}

R_{X} = 1.36Ω

ii. voltage (potential difference), V, across them is the same;

Therefore we can get the total current (I) that will flow through them if the voltage to be supplied is 2.4V.

Use the Ohm's law;

V = I x R    -----------------(ii)

Where;

V = voltage across them = 2.4V

I = total current flowing through them

R = their effective resistance = R_{X} = 1.36Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

2.4  = I x 1.36

I = 2.4 / 1.36

I = 1.76A

(a) Now get the value of R

Since the voltage across the two bulbs is 2.4V out of the 8.0V supplied by the source, then the remaining (8.0 - 2.4 = 5.6)V will pass across the resistor R.

Also, since the two bulbs make a series connection with the resistor R, the same total current (I = 1.76A) that flows through these bulbs will flow through the resistor R.

Therefore, to get the value of R, we use the relation

V = I x R   ------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = voltage across the resistor = 5.6V

I = current through the resistor = 1.76A

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii)</em>

=> 5.6 = 1.76 x R

=> R  = 5.6 / 1.76

=> R = 3.18Ω

Therefore, the value of R to be chosen in order to supply each bulb with a voltage of 2.4V is 3.18Ω

(b) The potential difference and voltage across refer to the same thing. Therefore, the value of R that would make the potential difference across each of the bulbs be 2.4V is the same as the one calculated in (a) which is 3.18Ω

A frictionless toy car is placed on a ramp, which is inclined at an unknown angle with respect to the horizontal. Starting from
NikAS [45]

The final speed of the toy car at the end of the given time period is 3.58 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • distance traveled by the car, s = 1.2 m
  • time of motion of the car, t = 0.67 s
  • initial velocity of the car, u = 0

The acceleration of the car is calculated as;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\1.2 = 0 + 0.5\times a\times (0.67)^2\\\\1.2 = 0.225a\\\\a = \frac{1.2}{0.225} \\\\a = 5.33 \ m/s^2

The final velocity of the toy car is calculated as;

v_f^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v_f^2 = 0 + 2\times 5.33 \times 1.2\\\\v_f^2 = 12.792\\\\v_f = \sqrt{12.792} \\\\v_f = 3.58 \ m/s

Thus, the final speed of the toy car at the end of the given time period is 3.58 m/s.

Marcia pokes fun at her husband Brian because he loves to sing in the shower every morning, but
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

<em>Since I can see no choices, I answered it in my own understanding.</em>

Brian - amplitude and frequency

Marcia - amplitude and longitudinal wave

Explanation:

"Sound" and "sound waves" are essential part of a person's life. They can be used for<u> communicating</u> and <u>detecting some object</u>s.

Brian loves singing in the shower which means that he is using a greater amplitude. Amplitude refers to the<em> intensity of the sound </em>or the amount of energy that a sound carries. When one sings in the shower, the sound cannot travel very far. It bounces immediately back to the person singing thus, making the sound bigger. Brian is also using a <em>different range of </em><em>frequency</em><em> compared to his normal way of talking.</em> The frequency of a normal male voice is normally 85 to 180 Hz. A person singing may have a frequency as high as 1,500 Hz.

Marcia talks loudly on the phone. This means that she is also using a greater amplitude because the intensity of her voice is big. Since she is using the telephone, this means that her voice travels in a longitudinal wave through the telephone. This allows her voice to reach to the person on the other end of the line.

Consider an electron confined in a region of nuclear dimensions (about 5 fm). Find its minimumpossible kinetic energy in MeV. Tr
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

39.40 MeV

Explanation:

<u>Determine the minimum possible Kinetic energy </u>

width of region = 5 fm

From Heisenberg's uncertainty relation below

ΔxΔp ≥ h/2 , where : 2Δx = 5fm ,  Δpc = hc/2Δx = 39.4 MeV

when we apply this values using the relativistic energy-momentum relation

E^2 = ( mc^2)^2 + ( pc )^2 = 39.4 MeV ( right answer ) because the energy grows quadratically in nonrelativistic approximation,

Also in a nuclear confinement ( E, P >> mc )

while The large value will portray a Non-relativistic limit  as calculated below

K = h^2 / 2ma^2 = 1.52 GeV
