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.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

8.56 m/s2

Explanation:

Using law of energy conservation while taking into account of the rotational and translation kinetic energy, when the solid cylinder rolls down the incline we have the potential energy converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_{kv} + E_{k\omega}

mgh = mv^2/2 + I\omega^2/2

where m is the mass, I = mr^2/2 is the moments of inertia of the solid cylinder \omega = v / r is the angular speed of the cylinder

mgh = mv^2/2 + \frac{mr^2}{2}\frac{(v/r)^2}{2}

mgh = mv^2/2 + mv^2/4 = 3mv^2/4

h = 3v^2/(4g)

So if you plot a liner chart of h vs v^2 and get a slope of 6.42 then that means 3/(4g) = 6.42 so g = 6.42*4/3 = 8.56 m/s^2

The gravitational acceleration on this planet is 8.56 m/s2

Kay [80]

Answer:

350x^2

Explanation:

I'm assuming you're saying you're using them together, like stacking them on top of each other, so if that's the case then this is a simple multiplication problem, which can be written as 10x(35x). Solve it and you get 350x^2.
