Two different electrical devices have the same power consumption, but one is meant to be operated on 120-V AC and the other on 2

40-V AC. What is the ratio of the resistance of 240V device to the resistance of the 120V device i.e. \frac{R_{240}}{R_{120}} ​R ​120 ​​ ​ ​R ​240 ​​ ​​ ?

Answer:4

Explanation:

For same Power one device is operated at V_1=120 V and another at V_2=240\ V

Suppose R_1 and R_2 is the resistance of first and second device respectively

using P=\frac{V^}{R}

For first device

P=\frac{(120)^2}{R_1}

R_1=\frac{120^2}{P}

For second Device

R_2=\frac{240^}{P}

Ratio of resistances are

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=\frac{240^2}{120^2}

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=(2)^2

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=4

A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Angle: 48.19^o

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

v_b\ cos\alpha

where v_b is the speed of the boy in still water and \alpha is the angle respect to the shoreline. If the river flows at speed v_s, we now set

v_b\ cos\alpha=v_s

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_s}{v_b}=\frac{2}{3}

\alpha=48.19^o

A 15 m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60° angle with horizontal. (a) Find t
scoray [572]

Answer:

a)    F₁ = 267.3 N,   N₁ = 1300 N,  b)    μ = 0.324

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium condition, we have a reference system is the floor and the anticlockwise rotations as positive, in the adjoint we can see a diagram of the forces

           

let's use subscript 1 for the ladder and 2 for the firefighter

            ∑ τ = 0

          -W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ + N₁ y = 0

           N₁ = \frac{W_1 x_1 + W_2 x_2}{y}          (1)

the center of mass of the ladder is at its geometric center,

d = L / 2 = 15/2 = 7.5 m

         cos 60 = x₁ / d₁

         x₁ = d₁ cos 60

         x₁ = 7.5 cos 60

         x₁ = 3.75 m

for the firefighter d₂ = 4 m

         cos 60 = x₂ / d₂

         x₂ = d₂ cos 60

          x₂ = 4 cos 60 = 2 m

for the fulcrum d₃ = 15 m

         sin 60 = y / d₃

         y = d₃ sin 60

         y = 15 sin 60

         y = 13 m

we look for the Normal by substituting in equation 1

         N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 2}{13}

         N₂ = 267.3 N

now let's use the translational equilibrium relations

 X axis

           F₁ - N₂ = 0

           F₁ = N₂

           F₁ = 267.3 N

Axis y

          N₁ - W₁ -W₂ = 0

          N₁ = W₁ + W₂

          N₁ = 500 + 800

          N₁ = 1300 N

b) for this case change the firefighter's distance d₂ = 9 m

          x₂ = 9 cos 60

          x₂ = 4.5 m

we substitute in 1

          N₂ = \frac{500 \ 3.75 \ + 800 \ 4.5}{13}  

          N₂ = 421.15 N

of the translational equilibrium equation on the x-axis

          fr = F₁ = N₂

          fr = 421.15 N

friction force has the expression

          fr = μ N

in this case the reaction of the Earth to the support of the ladder is N1 = 1300N

          μ = fr / N₁

          μ = 421.15 / 1300

          μ = 0.324
