Answer:A generator is the appropriate device to be used.

Explanation:

A generator is a device which transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy.

The different parts of a generator includes:

- Engine, alternator, fuel system, voltage regulator, lubricating system, cooling and exhaust system, Battery charger and control panel.

The generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction which states that

that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Therefore, the use of a generator is the best device for the campers to provide electrical power source for their heaters and light in the cabin.

Two lamps rated 60W; 240V and 100W, 240Vrespectively are connected in series to a 240V power source. Calculate;
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The total power of the circuit is equal to the sum of the powers of each lamp.

P=60+100\\P=160 [W]

Now we have a voltage source equal to 240 [V], so by means of the following equation we can find the current circulating in the circuit.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

I = P/V\\I=160/240\\I=0.67 [amp]

So this is the answer for c) I = 0.67 [amp]

We know that the voltage of each lamp is 240 [V]. Therefore using ohm's law which is equal to the product of resistance by current we can find the voltage of each lamp.

a)

V=I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohms]

Therefore we replace this equation in the first to have the current as a function of the resistance and not the voltage.

P=V*I\\and\\V = I*R\\P = (I*R)*I\\P=I^{2}*R

60 = (0.67)^{2}*R\\R_{60}=133.66[ohm] \\and\\100=(0.67)^{2} *R\\R_{100}=100/(0.66^{2} )\\R_{100}=225 [ohm]

b)

The effective resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistors connected in series.

R = 133.66 + 225\\R = 358.67 [ohms]

A 1000 kg red car traveling at 40 m/s rear ends a 3000 kg blue car traveling at 35 m/s. the cars bounce off each other and the b
klemol [59]

Answer:

32.5 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

<em><u>Theory </u></em>

<u> The law of conservation of linear momentum </u>

The sum of linear momentum of a system under no external force remains constant.

In this scenario although different forces act on two vehicles by each other when we  consider the total system of two cars no external unbalance force act on them. So we can apply this law.

As law says,

The sum of linear momentum before collision = The sum of linear momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

1000×40+3000×35 = 1000×v + 3000×37.5

where v = velocity of the red car after the cash

v = 32.5 ms⁻¹
