Answer:

Power, P = 30 W

Explanation:

We have,

Voltage drop of a circuit is 60 V

Resistance of the resistor is 120 ohms

Current across the circuit is 0.5 A

It is required to find the power conducted by the resistor. Power conducted by a resistor is given by :

P=VI

V and I are voltage and current

P=60\times 0.5\\\\P=30\ W

So, the power conducted by the resistor is 30 watts.

A car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley as shown below. Both the hill and valley have a radius of
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

As given that the car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley where both the valley and hill have a radius of curvature R.

(i) At point C, the normal force acting on the car is largest because the centripetal force is up. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be greater than the car's weight.

(ii) At point A, the normal force acting on the car is smallest because the centripetal force is down. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be less than car's weight.

(iii) At point C, the driver will feel heaviest because the driver's apparent weight is the normal force on her body.

(iv) At point A, the driver will feel the lightest.

(v)The car can go that much fast without losing contact with the road at A can be determined as follow:

Fn=0 - lose contact with road

Fg= mv²/r

mg=mv²/r

v=sqrt (gr)

Why is it important to develop alternative energy sources
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The alternative energy sources are defined as those resources that are used in place of the natural and non-renewable resources. This resources plays an important role in the conservation of natural resources.

The fossil fuels are the resources on which the people are directly dependent. Burning up of these fossils leads to the emission of carbon, which has a direct impact on earth. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide can lead to the increase in the surface temperature of earth.

In addition to this, these fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, oil and natural gases are found to be present in a limited proportion, and it is a very expensive process to obtain these resources, so sustainable development method must be adopted in order to save this natural resources for the future generation.

Some of the examples of alternative resources that are widely used in place of fossil fuels are wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, biomass energy and bio-fuels.

Thus, it is very important to develop and use alternative resources.
