With two identical light bulbs and two identical batteries how would you arrange in order to get the maximum total power to the

light bulbs?
Physics

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The batteries would be connected in series while the bulbs would be connected in parallel

Explanation:

Power (W) = VI

where V = voltage, I = current and R = resistance

from V = IR , I = V/R

Power (W) now becomes = V (V/R) = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

Power (W) =  \frac{V^{2} }{R}

from the above equation, power is directly dependent on voltage, hence the voltage has to be high for the power to be high and the power is also inversely dependent on the resistance (in this case the bulbs which act as the load)

  • We have to batteries, when batteries are connected in series the total voltage becomes the summation of the two voltages hence giving a higher voltage and when they are connected in parallel their voltage remains the same. Since we want to get higher voltage we will connect the two batteries in series.
  • we have two bulbs which are the resistance here, from the equation above the power is inversely dependent on the resistance so we would need its value to be minimal. When resistance is connected in series the resistance individual will be added to get the total resistance, hence the total resistance will be high but when the resistors are arranged in parallel you get the total resistance by applying the formula \frac{R1R2}{R1+R2} which will give us a lower resistance. Hence we would connect the bulbs in parallel.

Take note that the power from this connection should not exceed the bulbs power rating so as to avoid damage of the bulbs.

An undamped spring-mass system contains a mass that weighs and a spring with spring constant . It is suddenly set in motion at b
balandron [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When all other forces acting on the mass in a damped mass-spring system are grouped together into one term denoted by F(t), the differential equation describing

motion is

Mx''+ βx' + kx = F(t).

Note for an undamped system

β=0,

Then, the differential equation becomes

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

The force is in the form

F=Fo•Sinωo•t

Let solved for the homogeneous or complementary solution, I.e f(t) = 0

Using D operator

MD² + k = 0

MD²=-k

D²=-k/M

Then, D= ±√(-k/m)

D=±√(k/m) •i

So we have a complex root

Therefore, the solution is

x= C1•Cos[√(k/m)t] + C2•Sin[√(k/m)]

This is simple harmonic motion that once again we prefer to write in the form

x(t) = A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Where A=√(C1²+C2²)

and angle φ is defined by the equations

sin φ = C1/A and cos φ = C2/A.

Quantity √(k/M), often denoted by ω, is called the angular frequency.

This is called the natural frequency (ωn) of the system

ωn=√(k/M)

ωn²= k/M

Now, for particular solution

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp' = Dωo•Cosωo•t

Xp"=-Dωo²•Sinωo•t

Now substituting this into

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

M(-Dωo²•Sinωo•t) + k(DSinωo•t)=FoSinωo•t

Now, let solve for D

D(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t) = FoSinωo•t

D=Fo•Sinωo•t/(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t)

D=Fo•Sinωo•t / Sinωo•t(-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (k-Mωo²)

Divide through by k

D=Fo/k ÷ (1 -Mωo²/k)

Note from above

ωn²= k/M

Therefore,

D=Fo/k ÷ (1-ωo²/ωn²)

D=Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]

Then,

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t

Then the general solution is the sum of the homogeneous solution and particular solution

Xg(t)=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t + A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Check attachment for the graph of homogeneous, particular and general solution.

Also, check for better way of writing the equations.

The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that
OLEGan [10]

Answer: The intensity level of sound in the bedroom is 80dB

Explanation:

Intensity of lawn mower at r=1m is 100dB

Beta1= 10dBlog(I1/Io)

100dB= 10dB log(I1/Io)

10^10= I1/Io

I1= Io(10^10)

10^12)×(10^10)= I1

I1=10^-2w/m^2

Intensity of lawn mower at r=20m

I2/I1=(r1/r2)^2 =(1/20)^2

I2= I1(1/400)

I2=2.5×10^-3W_m^2

Intensity of 4 lown mowers at 20m fro. Window

= 10dBlog(4I2/Io)

= 10^-4/10^-12

=80dB
