<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span> $P=I^2 R$
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>

A 60.0 kg soccer player kicks a 0.4000 kg stationary soccer ball with 6.25 N of force. How fast does the soccer ball accelerate,

frozen [14]

F = ma
6.25 N = 0.4 kg · a
a = (6.25/0.4) m/s² since N=kg·m/s²
a = 15.625 m/s²

The answer is c) 15.6 m/s²
(Note that the mass of the soccer player is irrelevant.)

Consider two less-than-desirable options. In the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

B. The force would be the same in both cases.

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law where impulse was equated to the momentum formula.

F × t = M × V

where,

Force = F

V = velocity

Since, Impulse is force multiplied by time, whereas the time of contact is the same for both, therefore the impulse is the same in magnitude for the two trucks.

Case 1: Hitting the other car

Case 2: Hitting the brick wall

In Case 1, both the cars are identical and have same velocity whereas in the Case 2, the wall is stationary.

The case of hitting the brick wall have the same impact force as hitting the other car, because they have the same change in momentum.

Therefore, The force would be the same in both cases.
