Answer:
R₁ = 50.77 Ω
Explanation:
Since, we know that:
Electric Power = P = VI
but from Ohm's Law:
V = IR
(or) I = V/R
Therefore,
P = V²/R
(OR) R = V²/P
where,
V = Battery Voltage
R = Resistance of combination
FOR SERIES COMBINATION:
R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W
Rs = 67.69 Ω
but, we know that:
Rs = R₁ + R₂
R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω
R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂ __________ eqn (1)
FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:
R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W
Rp = 12.69 Ω
but, we know that:
Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω
using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get
Rp = 12.69 = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69
859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²
R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:
Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω
Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω
Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,
<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>
using this value in eqn (1), we get:
R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω
<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>
Answer:
E. Zero Maximum
Explanation:
At the point of maximum displacement, the speed is zero while the restoring force is maximum. In fact:
- The restoring force is given by 
, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement - at the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so F is maximum as well
- the total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
where m is the mass of the system and v is the speed. Since E (the total energy) is constant due to the law of conservation of energy, we have that when K increases, U decreases, and viceversa. As a result, when x increases, v decreases, and viceversa. At the point of maximum displacement, x is maximum, so v will have its minimum value (which is zero, since the system is changing direction of motion).
For any mass m:
a = F/m
v = √2*F/m*s = √2F/sm = k/√m
Momentum = mv = k√m
Energy = 1/ mv² = 1/2 m.k²/m = 1/2k²
SO
Both will have same energy
The larger mass will have greater momentum
