Answer:

a.) O.3A and 0.15A

b.) P1 = 36W, P2 = 18W

c.) 54W

Explanation:

Constant resistance R1 = 400 ohms, R2 = 800 ohms

a.)

The current through each bulb

While in parallel.

I = 120/800/3

= 0.45A

For 400= 800/400+800

= 800/1200 x 0.45

= 0.3A

I-800 = 400 /400+800

= 400/1200*0.45

= 0.15A

B.)

The power dissipated in each bulb

P409 = I²400r

= 0.3A²x400 ohms

= 36 W

P800 = I²800R

= 0.15A²*800 ohms

= 18W

C.)

The total power dissipated

= 36W + 18 W

= 54W

In an experiment, the independent variable is what?
ella [17]
A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. An experiment usually has three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist.

A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.3 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 19.8° above the ho
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer

given,

total mass = 18.3 Kg

inclined at = 19.8°

distance = 19.7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.5

a) Horizontal component of force forward,

        F_x = F cos \theta

Horizontal force backward = force of friction, f =μN.

Normal force, N = mg - F sinθ

Since the velocity is uniform, acceleration, a = 0

Net force, ΣF = 0

        F cos θ+ -μ(mg -F sinθ) = 0

        F (cosθ + μsin θ) = μmg

          F = \dfrac{\mu m g}{cos \theta + \mu sin \theta}

          F = \dfrac{0.5\times 18.3\times 9.8}{cos 19.8^0 +0.5\times sin 19.8^0}

                      =80.76 N

(b) Work done by the rope on the sledge,

        W = F.S cosθ = 80.76 x 19.7 x 0.9360

            = 1497 J

(c) Mechanical energy lost due to friction,

       E = W done against friction,

       W' = f  x S =F x S  = 80.76 x 19.7 x0.9360

            = 1497 J

we know velocity is uniform,.

       W done by the applied force = W done against friction.

           = 1440 J
