Answer:

Number the switches 1, 2 and 3.

Switch on number 1 for 1 minute, then switch it off. Switch on number 2. Go upstairs...

The light that is on is connected to switch 2. The light that is off and warm is connected to switch 1. The light that is off and cold is connected to switch 3!!

Answer:

Explanation:

We have three switches 1, 2 and 3.

Firstly, switch on the first switch for like 2mins, then switch of the first switch and switch on the second switch, then rush immediately up stars, if the bulb is on,

Then it is between switch 1 and 2, so feel the bulb immediately, if the bulb is hot, it show that it was switch 1 due to the heat the but has emitted over the long period of time, but if it is still cold and just about to be getting warm, then it is the second switch.

Second case, if the bulb was off when you get upstairs, this shows that it, it is between switch 1 and 3.

Now, feel the bulb, it is hot then, it is switch 1 due to the heat . but if it is cold then it is switch 3 because none of the switch was able to power on the bulb

An electric kettle. The input energy is 10 Joules. The useful output energy is heat 9
mina [271]

Answer:

Efficiency = 90 %

Wasted energy = 10 %

Explanation:

Since we have the input energy and useful output energy of the electric kettle, the only thing we are required to calculate here is its efficiency. This is gotten from

E = useful output energy/input energy × 100

E = 9/10 × 100 = 90 %

The percentage of wasted energy is

W = wasted energy/input energy × 100

W = 1/10 × 100

W = 10 %

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

6.93 km/h

Explanation:

To calculate her average speed, we need the "speed" formula, which is:

average speed = distance / time

You plug in your numbers and it will give you the answer.

Speed = 4.5km/0.65hr

           = 6.923 km/h

SashulF [63]

Answer: Technician B

Explanation: In manual cars,the clutch safety is designed to stop the vehicle from moving when you start the gnition. It prevents power from flowing into the circuit . This is found in the pedal mechanism of cars so depressing the clutch pedal will likely cause a defective in the clutch safety. You will begin to perceive the clutch burning and white fumes coming out from the pedal.

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.550 m/s. The to
Arisa [49]

Answer: 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the sled, v = 0.55 m/s

Total mass, m = 96.5 kg

Mass of the rock, m1 = 0.3 kg

Speed of the rock, v1 = 17.5 m/s

To solve this, we would use the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.5 kg * 0.550 m/s = 53.08 Ns

When the man throws the rock forward

rock:

m1 = 0.300 kg

V1 = 17.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

m2 = 96.5 kg - 0.300 kg = 96.2 kg

v2 = ?

Law of conservation of momentum states that the momentum is equal before and after the throw.

momentum before throw = momentum after throw

53.08 = 0.300 * 17.5 + 96.2 * v2

53.08 = 5.25 + 96.2 * v2

v2 = [53.08 - 5.25 ] / 96.2

v2 = 47.83 / 96.2

v2 = 0.497 ~= 0.50 m/s
