Work is done when the ‘object moves in the same direction as the force’ an example being a man walking up a flight of stairs carrying a box of weight.

Work is not done when the direction of the applied force and the direction in which the object moves are PERPENDICULAR to each other. An example being A man carrying a load while walking, no work is done on the load in the upward direction as the load is only moving horizontally.

Thus the answer is whenever she pulls the puppy towards her

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ

Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?

1) Find the voltage on a circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω if it has a current of 2.35 A.

KengaRu [80]

1. The voltage on the circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω and current of 2.35 A is 29.4 V.

2.The resistance in the circuit is found to be 1.45 Ω.

3. The equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series is 24 Ω.

4. The equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is 2.18Ω.

5. The power generated is 552.5 W.

6. The frequency of the green light is 0.56×10¹⁵ Hz.

Explanation:

1) This problem can be solved using Ohm's law. Here the resistance (R) of the circuit is given to be 12.5 Ω and the current (I) is stated to be 2.35 A. So the ohm's law states that in a closed circuit, the voltage will be directly proportional to the current flowing in the circuit and the resistance will act as the proportionality constant.

$V = I * R = 2.35*12.5 = 29.4 V$

So, the voltage on the circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω and current of 2.35 A is 29.4 V.

2) Using the same Ohms' law, now we have to determine the resistance. So in this case, the voltage is given as 9 V and the current is said to be 6.2 A, then resistance can be determined as the ratio of voltage to current.

$R = \frac{V}{I} =\frac{9}{6.2} =1.45 Ohms$

So, the resistance in the circuit is found to be 1.45 Ω.

3) Here, the resistances of three resistors are given as 4 Ω, 8 Ω and 12 Ω. And it is stated that the resistances are connected or wired in series. Then the equivalent resistance will be obtained by the sum of resistances of three resistors, as the current flow will be constant in all the three resistors.

$R_{s} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} \\ \\R_{s} = 4+8+12 = 24 ohms$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series is 24 Ω.

4) Now, if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the equivalent resistance will be ratio of product of resistances to the sum of the resistances.

$\frac{1}{R_{p} }= \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2} } +\frac{1}{R_{3} }\\\\\frac{1}{R_{p} }=\frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{12} = \frac{6+3+2}{24} =\frac{11}{24} \\\\R_{p} = \frac{24}{11 } =2.18 Ohm$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is 2.18Ω.

5) Power generated by the person can be obtained by the ratio of work done by the person to the time in which the work is done. So the work done can be obtained by the product of force with displacement.

As here the weight lifted by the person will act as dominant force on the person. So the force is considered as F = 956 N and the displacement is d = 2.41 m, then

$Work done = Force * displacement = 956*2.41 =2303.96 J$

So, the work done is obtained as 2303.96 J and the time is given as 4.17 s, then

$Power = \frac{Work done}{Time} =\frac{2303.96}{4.17} =552.5 W$

So, the power generated is 552.5 W.

6) In this, the wavelength of green light is given as 5.34 × 10⁻⁷ m. It is known that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

$Wavelength = \frac{Speed of light}{Frequency}$

As, speed of light is known as 3×10⁸ m/s, the frequency will be determined as the ratio of speed of light to wavelength.

$Frequency = \frac{Speed of light}{Wavelength} =\frac{3*10^{8} }{5.34*10^{-7} } \\\\Frequency =0.56*10^{15} Hz$

Thus, the frequency of the green light is 0.56×10¹⁵ Hz.

These problems involve Impulse-Mometum theorem, and the Work-Kinetic Energy theorem. Both theorems are combinations of Newton's

ira [324]

a) The time needed to stop the car is 82.5 s

b) The final speed of the bullet is 23,625 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this part of the problem by using the impulse-momentum theorem, which states that:

"The impulse exerted on an object (the product between force applied and time interval) is equal to the change in momentum of the object"

Mathematically:

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

where

F is the force applied

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

m is the mass of the object

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

For the train car in this problem, we have

m = 16000 kg is the mass

F = -1900 N is the force applied (with negative sign, since it is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, in order to stop the train)

$\Delta v = 0 -9.8 m/s = -9.8 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the car
