To work on your car at night, you use an extension cord to connect your work light to a power outlet near the door. How would th
1 answer:
Answer:
The longer the cord, the lower the illumination
Explanation:
The illumination provided by the light bulb will be reduced as the length of the extension cord increases. This is because the resistance provided by the wire increases with its length.
Long wires have more electrical resistance than shorter ones.
Let us consider this formula:
Resistance =
From this formula, we can see that as the length increases, the resistance to current flow offered by the wire increases also provided the resistivity and cross-sectional area of the wire remain constant. As a result of this, the illumination will drop.

Answer:
(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball, m₁ is 0.11 m
(a) The maximum height achieved by the second ball, m₂ ball is 0.44 m
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the first ball, m₁ = 1 kg
mass of the second ball, m₂ = 2 kg
The velocity of the first when released from a height of 1 m before collision;
u₁² = u₀² + 2gh
u₀ = 0, since it was released from rest
u₁² = 2gh
u₁² = 2 x 9.8 x 1
u₁² = 19.6
u₁ = √19.6
u₁ = 4.427 m/s
The velocity of the second ball before collision, u₂ = 0
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the velocity of the balls after an elastic collision.
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
where;
v₁ is the final velocity of the first ball after an elastic collision
v₂ is the final velocity of the second ball after an elastic collision
m₁u₁ + m₂(0) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
m₁u₁ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
1 x 4.427 = v₁ + 2v₂
v₁ + 2v₂ = 4.427
v₁ = 4.427 - 2v₂ ----- equation (1)
one directional velocity;
u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂
u₂ = 0
u₁ + v₁ = v₂
v₁ = v₂ - u₁
v₁ = v₂ - 4.427 ------ equation (2)
Substitute v₁ into equation (1)
v₂ - 4.427 = 4.427 - 2v₂
3v₂ = 4.427 + 4.427
3v₂ = 8.854
v₂ = 8.854 / 3
v₂ = 2.95 m/s (→ forward direction)
v₁ = v₂ - 4.427
v₁ = 2.95 - 4.427
v₁ = - 1.477 m/s
v₁ = 1.477 m/s ( ← backward direction)
Apply the law of conservation of mechanical energy
(a) The maximum height achieved by the first ball (v₁ = 1.477 m/s)
(b) The maximum height achieved by the second ball (v₂ = 2.95 m/s)
Answer:
Explanation:
given,
length of the ship = 120 m
length of model of the ship = 4 m
Speed at which the ship travels = 70 km/h
speed of model = ?
by using froude's law
for dynamic similarities
hence, the velocity of model will be 12.78 km/h
