Complete Question:

The power rating of a light bulb (such as a 100-W bulb) is the power it dissipates when connected across a 120-V potential difference.

Part A: What is the resistance of a 100 W bulb?

part B: Current flowing through a 100 W bulb?

part C: Find the resistance of a 40 W bulb

part D: Current flowing through a 40W bulb

Answer:

a)Resistance of a 100 W bulb, R = 144 ohms

b) Current flowing through a 100 W bulb, I =0.833 A

c)Resistance of a 40W bulb, R = 360 ohms

d)current in a 40W bulb, I = 0.33 A

Explanation:

a) Resistance of the 100 W bulb

Power, P = 100 W

Potential difference, V = 120 V

P = V²/R

R = V²/P

R = 120²/100

R = 144 ohms

b) the current flowing through the bulb

According to Ohm's law, V = IR

I = V/R

I = 120/144

I = 0.833 A

c) Find the resistance of a 40 W bulb

Since the voltage supplied is constant, P = V²/R

P = 40 W

V = 120 V

40 = 120²/R

R = 120²/40

R = 360 ohms

d)current flowing through the 40 W bulb

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 120/360

I = 0.33 A

Answer:

144 Ω

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which Energy is used up in an electric circuit. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

The expression for electric power is given as

P = V²/R............... Equation 1

Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.

make R the subject of the equation

R = V²/P............. Equation 2

Given: V = 120 V, P = 100 W

Substitute into equation 2

R = 120²/100

R = 14400/100

R =144 Ω

A 500 kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 30 N/m. The blo
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

x = 0.396 m

Explanation:

The best way to solve this problem is to divide it into two parts: one for the clash of the putty with the block and another when the system (putty + block) compresses it is   spring

Data the putty has a mass m1 and velocity vo1, the block has a mass m2 .  t's start using the moment to find the system speed.

Let's form a system consisting of putty and block; For this system the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved. Let's write the moment before the crash

    p₀ = m1 v₀₁

Moment after shock

    p_{f} = (m1 + m2) v_{f}

   p₀ = p_{f}

   m1 v₀₁ = (m1 + m2) v_{f}

  v_{f} = v₀₁ m1 / (m1 + m2)

   v_{f}= 4.4 600 / (600 + 500)

  v_{f} = 2.4 m / s

With this speed the putty + block system compresses the spring, let's use energy conservation for this second part, write the mechanical energy before and after compressing the spring

Before compressing the spring

   Em₀ = K = ½ (m1 + m2) v_{f}²

After compressing the spring

   E_{mf} = Ke = ½ k x²

As there is no rubbing the energy is conserved

   Em₀ = E_{mf}

   ½ (m1 + m2) v_{f}² = = ½ k x²

   x = v_{f} √ (k / (m1 + m2))

   x = 2.4 √ (11/3000)

   x = 0.396 m
