In your cellar there are three light switches in the OFF position. Each switch controls 1 of 3 light bulbs on the floor above. Y

ou may move any of the switches, but you may only go upstairs to inspect the bulbs one time. How can you determine the switch for each bulb with one inspection?

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

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.87-g pellet
Serga [27]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The work done by the spring is = 0.27 J

Explanation:

Force = torque × length

Given

F = 9.13 N

length (L) = 5.91 cm  = 0.0591 m                         [Note 1 m = 100 cm ]

considering the formula above

          9.13 = k * 0.0591    where k denotes torque

          k = 154.48\ N/m

Energy Stored  = \frac{1}{2} k x^2

                          = \frac{1}{2} * 154.48 * (0.0591)^2

                         = 0.27J

3) Calculate the kinetic energy of a 7 kg mass traveling at a velocity of 4 m/sec.
murzikaleks [220]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

Let's solve ~

Given terms :

  • Mass (m) = 7 kg

  • velocity (v)= 4 m/s

The formula to find kinetic Energy is ~

\boxed{ \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{1}{2}  m{v}^{2} }}}

Now, apply the formula according to given situation

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2}  \times 7 \times ( {4)}^{2}

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \: \dfrac{1}{2}  \times 7 \times 16

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:7 \times 8

{ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}}  \:  \: \sf \:56 \:  \: joules

Therefore, the kinetic Energy of the car is 56 joules

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is
Kazeer [188]
The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
F=qE
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C

Only four forces act on an object. They all have the same magnitude. Their directions are north, south, northwest, and northeast
mina [271]

Answer:

the correct answer is A,   North

Explanation:

The forces are vectors so they must be added vectorially.

The magnitude of the forces is the same, but not their direction, which is why they are different.

Analyze the situation presented

We have a force towards the North and another towards the South with the same magnitude, therefore these cancel each other out

We have a force towards the Northeast and another towards the Northwest, these can be decomposed into parts, one towards the North and another on the East-West axis, this last component is canceled, but the component towards the North is added.

In summary we see that the body accelerates towards the North

the correct answer is A
