Answer:

The answer is " $5 \ \frac{m}{s} \ west$ "

Explanation:

$\to \vec{V_1} = (25 \frac{m}{s}) (\hat{-i})\\\\\to \vec{V_2} = (20 \frac{m}{s}) (\hat{-i})\\\\$

velocity of car | respect to car :

$\to \vec{V_{12}} = \vec{V_1} - \vec{V_2}\\\\$

$=\vec{-25} \hat{i}+ \vec{20} \hat{i}\\\\= 5 \ \frac{m}{s} \ west$

A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected in series across a 240-V line. Assume that the resistance o

A. 0.77 A

Using the relationship:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where P is the power, V is the voltage, and R the resistance, we can find the resistance of each bulb.

For the first light bulb, P = 60 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{60 W}=240 \Omega$

For the second light bulb, P = 200 W and V = 120 V, so the resistance is

$R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{200 W}=72 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected in series, so their equivalent resistance is

$R=R_1 + R_2 = 240 \Omega + 72 \Omega =312 \Omega$

The two light bulbs are connected to a voltage of

V = 240 V

So we can find the current through the two bulbs by using Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{240 V}{312 \Omega}=0.77 A$

B. 142.3 W

The power dissipated in the first bulb is given by:

$P_1=I^2 R_1$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_1 = 240 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_1 = (0.77 A)^2 (240 \Omega)=142.3 W$

C. 42.7 W

The power dissipated in the second bulb is given by:

$P_2=I^2 R_2$

where

I = 0.77 A is the current

$R_2 = 72 \Omega$ is the resistance of the bulb

Substituting numbers, we get

$P_2 = (0.77 A)^2 (72 \Omega)=42.7 W$

D. The 60-W bulb burns out very quickly

The power dissipated by the resistance of each light bulb is equal to:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

E is the amount of energy dissipated

t is the time interval

From part B and C we see that the 60 W bulb dissipates more power (142.3 W) than the 200-W bulb (42.7 W). This means that the first bulb dissipates energy faster than the second bulb, so it also burns out faster.

Does the earths magnetic field change with time?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

As per the fossil fuel records, magnetic field reversal does not impact living beings. It will take almost a century for the poles to complete the shift. Meanwhile, the earth is left with almost zero magnetic field.
