What voltage battery would you need to send 2.5A of current through a light bulb of resistance 3.6 ohm
nadezda [96]
<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Current flow light bulb = 2.5\sf{A}

Resistance of light bulb = 3.6Ω

<h3><u>To Find </u>:</h3>

We have to find voltage of battery.

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

➠ As per ohm's law, current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

➝ V ∝ I

➝ <u>V = I × R</u>

Where, R is the resistance of conductor.

⇒ V = I × R

⇒ V = 2.5 × 3.6

⇒ <u>V = 9 volt</u>

Nresistors, each having resistance equal to 1 2, are arranged in a circuit first in series and then in parallel. What is the rat
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

Let the resistance of each resistor is R.

In series combination,

The effective resistance is Rs.

rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR

Let V be the source of potential difference.

Power in series

Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)

In parallel combination

the effective resistance is Rp

1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times

1 / Rp = N / R

Rp = R / N

Power is parallel

Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R    ..... (2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get

Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2

A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 16.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box an
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1) 1.31 m/s2

2) 20.92 N

3) 8.53 m/s2

4) 1.76 m/s2

5) -8.53 m/s2

Explanation:

1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{17 - 0}{13} = 1.31 m/s2

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

F_s = am = 1.31*16 = 20.92 N

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

F_{\mu_s} = \mu_sN = mg\mu_s = 16*9.81*0.87 = 136.6N

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

a_{max} = F_{\mu_s} / m = 136.6 / 16 = 8.53 m/s^2

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

F_{\mu_s} = mg\mu_k = 16*9.81*0.69 = 108.3 N

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is

28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2

5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2
