Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While

the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated so that its resistance doubles. The resistance of the other resistor remains unchanged. Find (a) the initial resistance of each resistor, and (b) the total power delivered to the resistors after one resistor has been heated.

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W

Despite a very strong wind, a tennis player
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.

A woman is running around a playground while keeping an eye on her child who is on a swing set. The child is going back and fort
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) 1500 m

(b) 2827.43m

Explanation:

Given that the time for one cycle of the swing is 1 s

The radius of the swing, R= 3.0m

The angle covered, \theta, by each swing is a quarter of the circle. i.e.

\Theta=\frac {\pi}{2}

Speed of running of women =5 m/s.

Time of running = 5 minutes= 5 x 60 secondes= 300 s.

(a) As distance= (speed) x (time)

So, the required distance= 5 x 300 m= 1500 m.

(b) As there are two swings in one cycle, so, the distance covered in one swing is the length of the circular shown in the figure.

As arc length, l= \theta R, where \theta is the angle, in radian, subtended by the arc at the center, and R is the radius of curvature of the arc.

So, the distance covered by the child in 1 swing = \frac {\pi}{2}\times 3 m=\frac{3\pi}{2}m.

In 1 cycle, there are 2 swings, so distance covered in 1 cycle = 3 \pi m.

Now, in 1 second there is 1 cycle, so in 5 minutes there will be 300 cycles.

So, the total distance covered by the child

= 3\pi\times 300 m= 2827.43 m.

For a demonstration, a professor uses a razor blade to cut a thin slit in a piece of aluminum foil. When she shines a laser poin
Art [367]

Answer:

width of slit(a)≅ 0.1mm

Explanation:

Wave length of laser pointer =λ = 685 nm

Distance between screen and slit = L = 5.5 m

Width of bright band = W=8.0cm=0.08m

width of slit=a

recall the formula;

W=(2λL)/a

a=2λL/W

a=(2 *685*10⁻⁹*5.5m)/0.08m

a=7535*10⁻⁹/0.08

a=94187.5 *10⁻⁹

a=0.0000941875m

a=0.0941875mm

a≅0.1mm

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of water is converted into heat energy

P E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 111

= 1087.8 m .

Let rise in temperature θ

m x s x θ = heat absorbed

m x s x θ =  1087.8 m

m x 4182 x θ =  1087.8 m

θ = 0.26 degree celsius .
