Answer:

(a) V=11.86\ V

(b) V=9.76\ V

Explanation:

<u>Electric Circuits</u>

Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

V=R.I

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is \varepsilon =12.6\ V and its internal resistance is R_i=0.06\ \Omega. Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is R_e=5.2\ \Omega, we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

\varepsilon=i.R_i+i.R_e=i.(R_i+R_e)

Solving for i

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon}{ R_i+R_e}=\frac{12}{0.06+5.2}=2.28\ A

i=2.28\ A

The potential difference across the headlight  bulbs is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-2.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=11.86\ V

V=11.86\ V

(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-37.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=9.76\ V

Given: Saturated air changes temperature by 0.5°C/100 m. The air is completely saturated at the dew point. The dew point has bee
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

saturated air temperature by 0.5^{\circ}C/100 m

Dew point temperature is given by t=2^{\circ}C

Dew point is defined as the temperature after which air no longer to uphold the water vapor fuse with it and some water vapor may condense to a liquid.

air continues to rise for 1400 m

i.e. change in temperature would be \Delta t =\frac{0.5}{100}\times 1400=7^{\circ}C

Final temperature t_f

t_f+\Delta t=t

t_f=2-7=-5^{\circ}C

Can someone please help me because this is a hard problem to solve.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

25.0 m / 10 m/s = 2.5 s

50.0 / 9.5 = 5.26 s

25.0 / 11.1 = 2.25 s

T (Wood) = 2.5 + 5.26 + 2.25 = 10.0 s

Mrs Wood runs 10 s vs 10.4 for Mr Overstreet
