An old fashioned string of 80 Christmas lights is wired in series. Each bulb has a resistance of 2 Ohms and the entire string is

plugged into a 120V outlet. What is the current passing through each of the bulbs?

The sum of the resistance = 2 ohms x 80 lights = 160 ohms.

Current = Total voltage / total resistance:

Current = 120V / 160 ohms

Current = 0.75 Amps

A 300 kg car initially travels with a velocity of 20 m/s to the right. A net force F acts on the car for 5 s, which causes the v
hram777 [196]

Answer:

<em>600N.</em>

Explanation:

From the question, we are to calculate the net force acting on the car.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

m is the mass of the car

a is the acceleration = change in velocity/Time

a = v-u/t

F = m(v-u)/t

v is the final velocity = 30m/s

u is the initial velocity = 20m/s

t is the time = 5secs

m = 300kg

Get the net force:

Recall that: F = m(v-u)/t

F  = 300(30-20)/5

F = 60(30-20)

F = 60(10)

<em>F = 600N</em>

<em>Hence the net force acting on the car is 600N.</em>

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
