Answer:

The total power they will consume in series is approximately 2.257 W

Explanation:

The connection arrangement of the headlight and the engine starter = Parallel to the battery

The voltage of the battery, V = 12.0 V

The power at which the headlight operates in parallel, P_{headlight} = 38 W

The power at which the kick starter operates in parallel, P_{kick \ starter} = 2.40 kW

We have;

P = V²/R

Where;

R = The resistance

V = The voltage = 12 V (The voltage is the same in parallel circuit)

For the headlight, we have;

R₁ = V²/P_{headlight}  = 12²/38 = 72/19

R₁ = 72/19 Ω

For the kick starter, we have;

R₂ = V²/P_{kick \ starter} = 12²/2.4 = 60

R₂ = 60 Ω

When the headlight and kick starter are rewired to be in series, we have;

Total resistance, R = R₁ + R₂

Therefore;

R = ((72/19) + 60) Ω = (1212/19) Ω

The current flowing, I = V/R

∴ I = 12 V/(1212/19) Ω = (19/101) A

We note that power, P = I²R

In the series connection, we have;

P_{headlight} = I² × R₁

∴ P_{headlight} = ((19/101) A)² × 72/19 Ω = 1368/10201 W ≈ 0.134 W

The power at which the headlight operates in series, P_{headlight, S} ≈ 0.134 W

P_{kick \ starter} = ((19/101) A)² × 60 Ω = 21660/10201 W ≈ 2.123 W

The power at which the kick starter operates in series, P_{kick \ starter, S} ≈ 2.123 W

The total power they will consume, P_{Total} = P_{headlight, S} + P_{kick \ starter, S}

Therefore;

P_{Total} ≈ 0.134 W + 2.123 W = 2.257 W

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

A: used has four times the tensile strength of steel and the timber frame, incorporating

Explanation:

Option A is correct because it conveys the correct message intended by the statement and has no grammatical errors.

Option B is wrong because to say "has four times the tensile strength of steel has" is just grammatically and idiomatically wrong as has is used twice in the sentence.  

Option C is wrong because the statement that has to do with the flexibility of the timber's frame is more like a separate fact and does not fall under the scope of trying to further explain a fact.

Option D is wrong because it has the same problem in Option C. The comma that is placed after "steel" breaks the sentence and hence does not provide a good understanding of why the building can withstand earthquakes.

Option E is grammatically wrong for using does in the sentence "has four times the tensile strength steel does"

A mass of 1 kg is moving in a circle of radius 3.3 meters. What is the liner velocity v m/s that would give a Centripetal Force
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The linear velocity of the object is 8.71 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

radius of the circle, r = 3.3 meters

centripetal force, F = 23 N

Centripetal force is given by;

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\

where;

v is the linear velocity of the object

F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\mv^2 = F_cr\\\\v^2 = \frac{F_cr}{m}\\\\v= \sqrt{\frac{F_cr}{m}} \\\\v= \sqrt{\frac{23*3.3}{1}}\\\\v = 8.71 \ m/s

Therefore, the linear velocity of the object is 8.71 m/s.

Describe how a drug administered intravenously is absorbed​
Digiron [165]

Answer:

La rapidez con que el fármaco es absorbido en el torrente sanguíneo depende, en parte, del suministro de sangre al músculo: cuanto menor sea el aporte de sangre, más tiempo necesitará el fármaco para ser absorbido.

Para la administración por vía intravenosa se inserta una aguja directamente en una vena
