You have two electrical devices plugged into the same socket in parallel and draws 120 V. The first device has a resistance of 2

0 Ω the other device has a resistance of 10 Ω.
What is the total resistance?

The devices don't "draw" 120v. The 120v comes to your house from the power company. They decide it should be 120v and that's what they send you. It's hypothetically technically possible for you to change that, but if you try it, you'll definitely burn the house down.

The total resistance of those two devices in parallel is 6 and 2/3 ohms. That doesn't depend on what they're plugged into. It would still be 6 and 2/3 ohms if they were connected in parallel, wrapped in tissue, sealed in a jar of chicken soup and stored in a box on a high shelf.

But since they ARE plugged into 120v, they draw 18 Amperes from the socket, and they turn all of that electrical energy into 2160 watts of heat. That's about the same as a good size toaster oven, and you have to figure out a way to get rid of all that heat before you burn the house down.

How much work is done to increase the speed of a 1.0 kg toy car by 5.0 m/s?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

We need to find the work done to increase the speed of a 1 kg toy car by 5 m/s.

We know that, the work done is equal to the kinetic energy of an object i.e.

W=\Delta K\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 5^2\\W=12.5\ J

So, 12.5 J of work is done to increase the speed of a 1.0 kg toy car by 5.0 m/s.

(4%) Problem 9: A mass is connected to a spring and is allowed to move horizontally. The mass is at a position L when the spring
skad [1K]

Answer:

a) Acceleration is zero , c)   Speed ​​is cero

Explanation:

a) the equation that governs the simple harmonic motion is

         x = A cos (wt +φφ)

Where A is the amplitude of the movement, w is the angular velocity and φ the initial phase determined by the initial condition

Body acceleration is

         a = d²x / dt²

Let's look for the derivatives

         dx / dt = - A w sin (wt + φ)

         a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt + φ)

In the instant when it is not stretched x = 0

As the spring is released at maximum elongation, φ = 0

            0 = A cos wt

            Cos wt = 0         wt = π / 2

Acceleration is valid for this angle

           a = -A w² cos π/2 = 0

Acceleration is zero

b)

c) When the spring is compressed x = A

Speed ​​is

             v = dx / dt

             v = - A w sin wt

We look for time

            A = A cos wt

            cos wt = 1         wt = 0, π

For this time the speedy vouchers

            v = -A w sin 0 = 0

Speed ​​is cero
