The maximum voltage which can be applied before the bulb will break is 50 Volts.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Resistance of light bulb = 5 Ohms

Current = 10 Amps.

To find how much voltage can be applied before the bulb will break, we would apply Ohm's law:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing through an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two terminals of the circuit and it's inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

$V = IR$

<u>Where;</u>

V is voltage measured in voltage.

I is current measured in amperes.

R is resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Voltage = 10$ × $5$

<em>Voltage </em><em>=</em><em> 50 Volts.</em>

Therefore, the maximum voltage which can be applied before the bulb will break is 50 Volts.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! What are 3 types of forces acting on your marshmallow (or other flying object) when it impacts it’s target? C

Alekssandra [29.7K]

•Every action has an equal and opposite reaction (the object is putting force on the target, and the target is putting an equal amount of force back)
•Am object in motion (the object) will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it (the Target)

And as for the third one I really don’t know, those seem to be the only two, I’m sorry. I did what a could, Hope it kinda helps :)

A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building of height h. At the same instant, a second ball is projected vertically u

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) $t = \sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}}$

b) Ball 1 has a greater speed than ball 2 when they are passing.

c) The height is the same for both balls = 3h/4.

Explanation:

a) We can find the time when the two balls meet by equating the distances as follows:

$y = y_{0_{1}} + v_{0_{1}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{0_{1}}$ : is the initial height = h

$v_{0_{1}}$ : is the initial speed of ball 1 = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

$y = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Now, for ball 2 we have:

$y = y_{0_{2}} + v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{0_{2}}$ : is the initial height of ball 2 = 0

$y = v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (2)

By equating equation (1) and (2) we have:

$h - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$t=\frac{h}{v_{0_{2}}}$

Where the initial velocity of the ball 2 is:

$v_{f_{2}}^{2} = v_{0_{2}}^{2} - 2gh$

Since $v_{f_{2}}^{2}$ = 0 at the maximum height (h):

$v_{0_{2}} = \sqrt{2gh}$

Hence, the time when they pass each other is:

$t = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2gh}} = \sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}}$

b) When they are passing the speed of each one is:

For ball 1:

$v_{f_{1}} = - gt = -g*\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}} = - 0.71\sqrt{gh}$

The minus sign is because ball 1 is going down.

For ball 2:

$v_{f_{2}} = v_{0_{2}} - gt = \sqrt{2gh} - g*\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}} = (\sqrt{1} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})*\sqrt{gh} = 0.41\sqrt{gh}$

Therefore, taking the magnitude of ball 1 we can see that it has a greater speed than ball 2 when they are passing.

c) The height of the ball is:

For ball 1:

$y_{1} = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = h - \frac{1}{2}g(\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}})^{2} = \frac{3}{4}h$

For ball 2:

$y_{2} = v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = \sqrt{2gh}*\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}} - \frac{1}{2}g(\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}})^{2} = \frac{3}{4}h$

Then, when they are passing the height is the same for both = 3h/4.

I hope it helps you!
