Answer:

Part A

The power to turn on the lamp, ∑P = 3.36 W

Part B

The Resistor required is approximately 8.04 Ohms

Part C

The time for all the lights to go out is approximately 21.43 hours

Explanation:

The input voltage of the motor battery , V = 12 V

The capacity of the battery, Q = 6 Ah

The number of lamps in parallel = 8 lamps

The maximum voltage of each lamp,  = 3 V

The electric current in each lamp = 140 mA

The energy available in a battery, E = Q × V

For the battery, we have;

E = 6 Ah × 12 V = 72 Wh

The energy available in a battery, E = 72 Wh

Part A

The power used by the lamps, P_i = I_i × V_i

∴ The total power used by the lamp, ∑P = 8 × 0.14 A × 3 V = 3.36 W

The power to turn on the lamp, ∑P = 3.36 W

Part B

The resistance required, is given as follows;

Resistor required = (Battery voltage - Lamp voltage)/(The sum of bulb current)

∴ Resistor required = (12 V - 3 V)/(8 × 0.14 A)

The Resistor required = 8.03571429 Ohms

The Resistor required ≈ 8.04 Ohms

Part C

The time for all the lights to go out = The time for the lamps to use all the power available in the battery

The time for all the lights to go out, t = E/∑P

∴ t = 72 Wh/(3.36 W) = 21.4285714 h

∴ The time for all the lights to go out, t ≈ 21.43 h

The time for all the lights to go out = The time for the lamps to use all the power available in the battery = t ≈ 21.43 h

∴ The time for all the lights to go out ≈ 21.43 hours.

A runner of mass 80 kg is moving at 8.0 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy. ​
lana [24]

Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J

What happens to the water particles in a wave?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: waves transport energy, not water. As a wave crest passes, the water particles move in circular paths. The movement of the floating inner tube is simulacra to the movement of the water particles. Water particles rise as a wave crest approaches.

A horizontal force of magnitude 30.2 N pushes a block of mass 3.50 kg across a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction i
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

A) 89.39 J

B) 30.39J

C) 23.8 J

Explanation:

We are given;

F = 30.2N

m = 3.5 kg

μ_k = 0.646

d = 2.96m

ΔEth (Block) = 35.2J

A) Work done by the applied force on the block-floor system is given as;

W = F•d

Thus, W = 30.2 x 2.96 = 89.39 J

B) Total thermal energy dissipated by the whole system which includes the floor and the block is given as;

ΔEth = μ_k•mgd

Thus, ΔEth = 0.646 x 3.5 x 9.8 x 2.96 = 65.59J

Now, we are given the thermal energy of the block which is ΔEth (Block) = 35.2J.

Thus,

ΔEth = ΔEth (Block) + ΔEth (floor)

Thus,

ΔEth (floor) = ΔEth - ΔEth (Block)

ΔEth (floor) = 65.59J - 35.2J = 30.39J

C) The total work done is considered as the sum of the thermal energy dissipated as heat and the kinetic energy of the block. Thus;

W = K + ΔEth

Therefore;

K = W - ΔEth

K = 89.39 - 65.59 = 23.8J

A rocket travels at a speed of 14,000 m/s. What is the distance travelled by the rocket in 150s?
kati45 [8]

1) The distance travelled by the rocket can be found by using the basic relationship between speed (v), time (t) and distance (S):

v=\frac{S}{t}

Rearranging the equation, we can write

S=vt

In this problem, v=14000 m/s and t=150 s, so the distance travelled by the rocket is

S=vt=(14000 m/s)(150 s)=2.1 \cdot 10^6 m


2) We can solve the second part of the problem by using the same formula we used previously. This time, t=300 s, so we have:

S=vt=(14000 m/s)(300 s)=4.2 \cdot 10^6 m/s
