The engine starter and a headlight of a car are connected in parallel to the 12.0-V car battery. In this situation, the headligh

t operates at 38 W and the engine starter operates at 2.40 kW. If the headlight and starter were then rewired to be in series with each other, what total power would they consume when connected to the 12.0-V battery

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

The surface is tilted to an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal, as shown above in Figure 3. The blocks are each given a pus
hoa [83]

Answer:

Incomplete question: "Each block has a mass of 0.2 kg"

The speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide is 2.9489 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

θ = angle of the surface = 37°

m = mass of each block = 0.2 kg

v = speed = 0.35 m/s

t = time to collision = 0.5 s

Question: What is the speed of the two-block system's center of mass just before the blocks collide, vf = ?

Change in momentum:

delta(P)=F*delta(t)

P_{f} -P_{i}=F*delta(t)

2m(v_{f} -v_{i})=F*delta(t)

v_{i} =0.35-0.35=0

It is neccesary calculate the force:

F=(m+m)*g*sin\theta

Here, g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F=(0.2+0.2)*9.8*sin37=2.3591N

v_{f} =\frac{F*delta(t)}{2m} =\frac{2.3591*0.5}{2*0.2} =2.9489m/s

A block with mass 0.5 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.2 m. W
lianna [129]

Answer:

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 0.5 kg

The spring is compressed by length x = 0.2 m

Spring constant of the sprig k = 100 N/m

Blocks moves a horizontal distance of s = 1 m

Work done in stretching the spring is equal to W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 0.2^2=2J

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the block

And this kinetic energy must be equal to work done by the frictional force

So \mu mg\times s=2

\mu\times  0.5\times 9.8\times 1=2

\mu =0.4081

So coefficient of kinetic friction will be equal to 0.4081
