A student constructed a series circuit consisting of a 12.0-volt battery, a 10.0-ohm lamp, and a

I thought you were going to ask for the resistance of the unknown
series resistor. Since you only want the equivalent resistance of the
circuit, you don't even need to know the resistance of the lamp.

I = E / R

Current through the circuit = (voltage of the battery) / (circuit resistance).

0.5 = (12) / R

Multiply each side by 'R' : (0.5) R = 12

Multiply each side by 2 : <em>R = 24 ohms</em>

(Since the resistance of the lamp is 10 ohms, the
unknown series resistor is the other 14 ohms.)

A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of sledge hammer;

Mh =2.26 kg

Hammer speed;

Vh = 64.4 m/s

The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,

K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²

K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²

K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J

If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then

ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)

∆U = ¼ × 4686.52

∆U = 1171.63 J

Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

A 7 ft tall person is walking away from a 20 ft tall lamppost at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled with rig

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the shadow length of a person is 2.692 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of a person, H = 20 ft

Height of a person, h = 7 ft

Rate = 5 ft/s

Now,

From Fig.1:

b = person's distance from the lamp post

a = shadow length

Also, from the similarity of the triangles, we can write:

$\frac{a + b}{20} = \frac{a}{7}$

$a = \frac{7}{13}b$

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t t:

$\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\frac{db}{dt}$

Now, we know that:

Rate = $\frac{db}{dt} = 5\ ft/s$

Thus

$\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\times 5 = 2.692\ ft/s$

A light ray moving at a 54.3 deg

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$45.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Applying Snell's law

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n2*sin\theta_2\\1.33*sin(54.3) = 1.52*sin\theta_2\\sin\theta_2 = 1.33*0.81208353/1.52 = 0.71057\\\theta_2=sin^{-1} (0.71057)\\\theta_2 = 45.25^{\circ}$

A 95.0kg weightlifter pushes on a 800,000 kg wall for 400s but it does not move. How much work does he do on the wall?

Soloha48 [4]

<span>The weightlifter does no work. Although he has exerted force, work is the product of force over distance. Since he has not moved the wall he has done no work.</span>
