A 12-V DC automobile head lamp is to be used on a fishing boat with a 24-V power system. The head lamp is rated at 50 W. A resis

tor is to be connected in series with the lamp to permit it to operate on 24 V. What should be the resistance and power rating of the resistor?

Answer:

The  resistance is  R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  voltage  rating of the headlamp is  V_1  =  12 \ V

     The  voltage of the power system is  p =  24 \  V

     The  power rating of the headlamp  is  P  =  50 W

Generally the power which the resistor dissipates is mathematically represented as

      P  =  V_L *  I

=>       50 =  12 *  I

=>   I  =  4.1667 \  A

Generally the resistance is

      R  =  \frac{V_1 }{I}

      R  =  \frac{12 }{4.1667}

      R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

4. A light string is attatched to a heavy rope, and the whole thing is pulled tight. A wave is sent along the light string. When
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is (A)

When it hits the heavy rope, compared to the wave on the string, the wave that propagates along the rope has the same (A) frequency

Explanation:

The speed of a wave in a string is dependent on the square root of the tension ad inversely proportional  to the square root of the linear density of the string. Generally, the speed of a wave through a spring is dependent on the elastic and inertia properties of the string

v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu } } =  \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L } }

Therefore if the linear density of the heavy rope is four times that of light rope the velocity is halved and since

v = f×λ therefore  v/2 = f×λ/2

Therefore the wavelength is halved, however the frequency remains the same as continuity requires the frequency of the incident pulse vibration to be transmitted to the denser medium for the wave to continue as the wave is due to vibrating particles from a source for example

When Bella pushes a box with a mass of 5.25 kilograms with a force of 15.75 newtons, it accelerates at a rate of 2.5 meters/seco
Mariana [72]

Sure !

Start with Newton's second law of motion:

                     Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

This formula is so useful, and so easy, that you really
should memorize it.

Now, watch:

The mass of the box is 5.25 kilograms, and the box is
accelerating at the rate of  2.5 m/s² .
What's the net force on the box ?

                    Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     = (5.25 kilograms) x (2.5 m/s²)

                     Net force =       13.125 newtons .

But hold up, hee haw, whoa !  Wait a second !
Bella is pushing with a force of 15.75 newtons, but the box
is accelerating as if the force on it is only 13.125 newtons.
What happened to the rest of Bella's force ? ?

==>  Friction is pushing the box in the opposite direction,
and cancelling some of Bella's force.

How much ?

            (Bella's 15.75 newtons) minus (13.125 that the box feels)

           =      2.625 newtons backwards, applied by friction.

Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J
