A fire truck has a searchlight with a resistance of 60 (ohm) which is placed across a 24-V battery. What is the current in this

Mariulka [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 0.4 Amps

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 Volts

Current I = ?

Resistance of searchlight (R)= 60ohms (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

i.e V = I x R

24V = I x 60Ω

I = 24V / 60Ω

I = 0.4 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)

Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.4 Amps

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation  = T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.

Explain how atomic interactions determine a material to be transparent and opaque?
motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

It should be understood that transparency is caused through or by the transmission of light waves. This means that, If or when the energy known as the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the object appears clear, or transparent. And when or If the energy only causes vibrations in the surface before reflecting off the object, then the object will appear opaque, that is nontransparent.

A weight lifter lifts a dumbbell a certain height in 2.0 s, while a competitor does the same workin 1.0 s. Compared to the power
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

a. one-half as great

Explanation:

The power developed by the first lifter is one-half as great as that of the second person.

  Power is defined as the rate at which work is done;

          Power  = \frac{workdone}{time}

Since the two lifters do the same work at different time, let us estimate their power;

       P₁ = \frac{workdone}{2}                     P₂ = \frac{workdone }{1}

   We see that for P₁, power is half of the work done whereas in P₂ power is the same as the work done.

Therefore,

           The power of the first weight lifter is one-half the second lifter.
