The equation for electrical power isP=VIwhere V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6(a). 6(b) can be solved with Ohm's LawV=IRor if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for IP=V2R For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same. We can find the resistance of each lamp fromP=V2RThen the equivalent resistance as1R∗=1R1+1R2Then the total power asPt=V2R∗However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra)Pt=P1+P2 For 8, again the resistance can be found asP=V2RThe energy usage is simplyE=P⋅t

What happens to a day of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle

Anika [276]

Light travels as transverse waves and faster than sound. It can be reflected, refracted and dispersed. Ray diagrams show what happens to light in mirrors and lenses. Eyes and cameras detect light.

A car starts from rest and travels for 5.8 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.6 m/s² in the negative direction. What is the fina

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Final velocity of the car will be -9.28 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given that the car starts from the rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m /sec

Acceleration of the car $a=1.6m/sec^2$ in negative direction so acceleration will be $a=-1.6m/sec^2$

From first equation of motion we know that

v = u+at

So $v=0+(-1.6)\times 5.8=-9.28m/sec$

So final velocity will be -9.28 m/sec

A refrigerator is 1.8m tall, lm wide,and 0.8m deep.The center of mass is lm from the bottom, 0.5m from the side, and 0.6m from t

VikaD [51]

Answer:

F = 520 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used

Σ τ = 0

Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical

Torque is

τ = F x r

the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force

the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,

The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis

-F z + W x = 0

F z = W x

F = $\frac{x}{z}$ W

The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator

let's calculate

F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5

F = 520 N
