How many 176 ohm resistors are connected in series to get a current of 5 a on 220 v battey

Physics

Phantasy [73]2 years ago

Total resistance = voltage / current = 220 / 5 = 44 ohms .

Even one 176-ohm resistor is too much.  The current through it is 1.25 A,
and more than one of them in series reduces the current even further.

Connecting them in <em><u>parallel</u></em>, however . . .

Four resistors of 176-ohms each, in <u>parallel</u>, have a net effective resistance
of 176/4 = 44 ohms ... exactly what you need to do the job.

A diver jumps off a cliff 50m high and needs to clear the rock that extend outward 5.0m from the base of the cliff. The diver ju
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

He should run at least at 1.5 m/s

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position and velocity of the diver are given by the following vectors:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

v = (v0x, v0y + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the  upward direction as positive)

v = velocity vector at time t

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the jumping point so that x0 and y0 = 0.

We know that, to clear the rocks, the position vector r final (see figure) should be:

r final = ( > 5.0 m, -50 m)

So let´s find first at which time the y-component of the vector r final is - 50 m:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = 2.1 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 2.1 m/s · t + 50 m

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 3.4 s

Now, we can calculate the initial horizontal velocity using the equation of the x-component of the position vector knowing that at t =3.4 the horizontal component should be greater than 5.0 m:

x = x0 + v0x · t      (x0 = 0)

5.0 m < v0x · 3.4 s

v0x > 5.0 m / 3.4 s

v0x > 1.5 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity should be greater than 1.5 m/s

To find the angle at which the diver enters the water, we have to find the magnitude of the final velocity (vector vf in the figure). We already know the magnitude of the x-component of the vector vf, since the horizontal velocity is constant. So:

vfx > 1.5 m/s

Now, let´s calculate vfy:

vfy = v0y + g · t

vfy = 2.1 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.4 s

vfy = -31 m/s

Let´s calculate the minimum magnitude that the final velocity will have if the diver safely clears the rocks. Let´s consider the smallest value allowed for vfx: 1.5 m/s. Then:

|v| = \sqrt{(1.5 m/s)^{2} + (31m/s)^{2}} = 31 m/s

Then the final velocity of the diver will be greater or equal than 31 m/s.

To find the angle, we have to use trigonometry. Notice in the figure that the vectors vf, vfx and vy form a right triangle in which vf is the hypotenuse, vfx is the adjacent side and vfy is the opposite side to the angle. Then:

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse = vfx / vf = 1.5 m/s / 31 m/s

θ = 87°

The diver will enter the water at an angle of 87° below the horizontal.
