A firefighter with a weight of 756 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.96 m/s2, directed downward. What are
Katen [24]

Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

A charge of 80 coulombs passes through a circuit in 5 seconds. What is the current through the circuit?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

I = 16amp

Explanation:

Charge coulomb ( Q ) = It

Where I =current in ampere

t = time = 5 seconds

80 = I × 5

I = 80/5

I = 16amp

The current through the circuit will be I = 16amp

Two light bulbs have resistances of 400 Ω and 800 ΩThe two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120- V line. Find the cu
Natasha2012 [34]

1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

P=I^2 R

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W

For the second bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W
