One cycle of the power dissipated by a resistor ( R = 800 Ω R=800 Ω) is given by P ( t ) = 60 W , 0 ≤ t < 5.0 s P(t)=60 W, 0≤

t<5.0 s P ( t ) = 25 W , 5.0 ≤ t < 10 s P(t)=25 W, 5.0≤t<10 s This periodic signal repeats in both directions of time. What is the average power dissipated by the 800- Ω Ω resistor?

Answer:

42.5W

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must go back to the calculations of a weighted average based on the time elapsed thus,

Power_{avg} = \frac{P_1(t_1)+P_2(t_2)}{t_1+t_2}

We need to calculate the average power dissipated by the 800\Omega resistor.

Our values are given by:

P(t)=60 W, 0\leq t

P(t)=25 W, 5.0\leq t

Aplying the values to the equation we have:

Power_{avg} = \frac{P_1(t_1)+P_2(t_2)}{t_1+t_2}

Power_{avg} = \frac{60(5-0)+25(10-5)}{(5-0)+(10-5)}

Power_{avg} = 42.5W

A 200.0 g block rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pressed against a horizontal spring with spring constant 4500
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the block   m =  200.0 g  = 200 × 10⁻³ kg

the horizontal spring constant   k  =  4500.0 N/m

position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm  = 0.04 m

To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the  work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.

i.e \frac{1}{2} kx^2  = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

4500* 0.04^2 = 200*10^{-3} *v^2

7.2 =200*10^{-3}*v^{2}

v^{2}   =\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}

v   =\sqrt{\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}}

v = 6 m/s

Hence,the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring is  6 m/s

How is the density of a substance calculated?
den301095 [7]
1).  Take a sample of the substance.  The sample should be the largest
possible that will allow it to be be easily handled and the following steps
to be performed with it. 
(The density doesn't depend on the size of the sample, and every sample
of the same substance has the same density.  But using a larger sample
can improve the accuracy of the measurements you make, and therefore
improve the accuracy of the density you derive for the substance.)

2). Ask or measure the mass of the sample.

3). Ask or measure the volume of the sample.

4). Divide the mass by the volume. Their quotient is the density
of the substance.

Two golf balls with the same mass were hit at the same time. Golf ball A went a shorter distance than golf ball B. What could be
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Golf ball A was hit with a weaker force

Explanation:

Golf ball B went a larger distance than golf ball A, so we could think friction affected golf ball A rather than golf ball B. That is why the first two choices are wrong.

The strongest forced applied made golf ball B go further.
