Answer:

Power = 20 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 100 V

Resistance = 500 Ohms

To find the power that is required to light a lightbulb;

Mathematically, power can be calculated using the formula;

$Power = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{resistance}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Power = \frac {100^{2}}{500}$

$Power = \frac {10000}{500}$

Power = 20 Watts

Answer:

decreases

Explanation:

Remeber:

There is always inverse relation between frequency and wavelength.

So if one of them increases, other decreases and vice-versa.

Two particles, each of mass m, are initially at rest very far apart.Obtain an expression for their relative speed of approach at

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

Explanation:

Consider two particles are initially at rest.

Therefore,

the kinetic energy of the particles is zero.

That initial K.E. = 0

The relative velocity with which both the particles are approaching each other is Δv and their reduced masses are

$\mu= \frac{m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}$

now, since both the masses have mass m

therefore,

$\mu= \frac{m^2}{2m}$

= m/2

The final K.E. of the particles is

$KE_{final}=\frac{1}{2}\times \mu\times \Delta v^2$

Distance between two particles is d and the gravitational potential energy between them is given by

$PE_{Gravitational}= \frac{Gmm}{d}$

By law of conservation of energy we have

$KE_{initial}+KE_{final}= PE_{gravitaional}$

Now plugging the values we get

$0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{2}\Delta v^2= -\frac{Gmm}{d}$

$|\Delta v |=\sqrt{\frac{4Gm}{d} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{Gm}{d} }$

This the required relation between G,m and d

A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack he

Flura [38]

Answer:

T = 480.2N

Explanation:

In order to find the required force, you take into account that the sum of forces must be equal to zero if the object has a constant speed.

The forces on the boxes are:

$T-Mg=0$ (1)

T: tension of the rope

M: mass of the boxes 0= 49kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

The pulley is frictionless, then, you can assume that the tension of the rope T, is equal to the force that the woman makes.

By using the equation (1) you obtain:

$T=Mg=(49kg)(9.8m/s^2)=480.2N$

The woman needs to pull the rope at 480.2N
