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 type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields is called
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

To understand it better:

This radiation is spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges and their sources can be natural or man-made.

It should be noted that the energy of electromagnetic radiation can vary and depending on its frequency it can be useful for various situations.

A block is resting on a platform that is rotating at an angular speed of 2.4 rad/s. The coefficient of static friction between t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

r = 0m is the Minimum distance from the axis at which the block can remain in place wothout skidding.

Explanation:

From a sum of forces:

Ff = m*a   where Ff = μ * N    and a = \frac{V^2}{r}=\omega^2*r

N - m*g = 0   So, N = m*g.   Replacing everything on the original equation:

\mu*m*g = m*\omega^2*r   (eq2)

Solving for r:

r = \frac{\mu*g}{\omega^2}=1.41m

If we analyze eq2 you can conclude that as r grows, the friction has to grow (assuming that ω is constant), so the smallest distance would be 0 and the greatest 1.41m. Beyond that distance, μ has to be greater than 0.83.
