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.

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 12.8 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.90 atm . Wate
exis [7]

Answer:

The velocity of water at the bottom, v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Given:

Height of water in the tank, h = 12.8 m

Gauge pressure of water, P_{gauge} = 2.90 atm

Solution:

Now,

Atmospheric pressue, P_{atm} = 1 atm = 1.01\tiems 10^{5} Pa

At the top, the absolute pressure, P_{t} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm} = 2.90 + 1 = 3.90 atm = 3.94\times 10^{5} Pa

Now, the pressure at the bottom will be equal to the atmopheric pressure, P_{b} = 1 atm = 1.01\times 10^{5} Pa

The velocity at the top, v_{top} = 0 m/s, l;et the bottom velocity, be v_{b}.

Now, by Bernoulli's eqn:

P_{t} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{t}^{2} + \rho g h_{t} = P_{b} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_{b}^{2} + \rho g h_{b}

where

h_{t} -  h_{b} = 12.8 m

Density of sea water, \rho = 1030 kg/m^{3}

\sqrt{\frac{2(P_{t} - P_{b} + \rho g(h_{t} - h_{b}))}{\rho}} =  v_{b}

\sqrt{\frac{2(3.94\times 10^{5} - 1.01\times 10^{5} + 1030\times 9.8\times 12.8}{1030}} =  v_{b}

v_{b} = 28.63 m/s

Two lightbulbs have powers P1 and P2 when separately connected across an ideal battery with potential difference ΔV. The bulbs a
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

P'=\dfrac{P_1P_2}{P_1+P_2}

Explanation:

Lets take

Resistance of bulb 1 =R₁

Resistance of bulb 2 =R₂

As we know that power P

P= ΔV²/R

Given that voltage difference is same for both bulbs

So

P₁R₁= ΔV²       --------1

P₂R₂= ΔV²   -----------2

When these resistance are connected in series then equivalent resistance R

R=R₁+ R₂

The new power P'

P'=ΔV²/R

P'R=ΔV²   ------3

From equation 1 ,2 and 3

P'(R₁+ R₂) = ΔV²

P'\left(\dfrac{\Delta V^2}{P_1}+\dfrac{\Delta V^2}{P_2}\right)=\Delta V^2

P'=\dfrac{P_1P_2}{P_1+P_2}
