Answer:
Technician A is right.
Explanation:
Given that,
Voltage of circuit, V = 12 volt
Current in the circuit, I = 3 A
Technician A says the electric power in this circuit is 36 watts. Technician B says the electric power in this circuit is 4 watts. We need to say that which technician is correct.
The power of any circuit is given by :
P = 36 watts
So, technician A is right. Hence, this is the required solution.
a) 0.94 m
The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:
where:
is the force applied by the snow
d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him
m = 68 kg is the man's mass
v = 0 is the final speed of the man
u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)
and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)
Solving the equation for d, we find:
b) -3740 kg m/s
The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:
where
m = 68 kg is the mass of the man
is the change in velocity of the man
Substituting,
