(II) You buy a 75-W lightbulb in Europe, where electricity is delivered at 240 V. If you use the bulb in the United States at 12

0 V (assume its resistance does not change), how bright will it be relative to 75-W 120-V bulbs? [Hint: Assume roughly that brightness is proportional to power consumed.]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are looking for the resistance to start with

W = E * E/R

75 = 240 * 240 / R

75 * R = 240 * 240

R = 240 * 240 / 75

R = 57600 / 75

R = 768

Now let's see what happens when you try putting this into 110

W = E^2 / R

W = 120^2 / 768

W = 18.75

So the wattage is rated at 75. 18.75 is a far cry from that. I think they intend you to set up a ratio of

18.75 / 75 = 0.25

This is the long sure way of solving it. The quick way is to realize that the voltage is the only thing that is going to change. 120 * 120 / (240 * 240) = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25

on the surface of theearth ,the weight of a boy is 400N but on a mountainpeak his weight is 360N,Calculatethe value of ''g' on t
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The value of g at sea level is 9.81 ms^-2.

The boy's mass is constant wherever he is in the universe but his weight will depend on the strength gravity where he is.

By proportion its value on the mountain peak  is (360 /400) * 9.81

= 0.9 * 9.81 = 8.83  ms^-2  to nearest hundredth,  (answer).

A 2500 kg car traveling to the north is slowed down uniformly from an initial velocity of 20 m/s by a 5620 N braking force actin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

the distance traveled by the car is 42.98 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 2500 kg

initial velocity of the car, u = 20 m/s

the braking force applied to the car, f = 5620 N

time of motion of the car, t = 2.5 s

The decelaration of the car is calculated as follows;

-F = ma

a = -F/m

a = -5620 / 2500

a = -2.248 m/s²

The distance traveled by the car is calculated as follows;

s = ut + ¹/₂at²

s = (20 x 2.5) + 0.5(-2.248)(2.5²)

s = 50 - 7.025

s = 42.98 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the car is 42.98 m.
