What would be the relative difference between the currents required by a 60W lightbulb and a

Physics

The current required by the 60W bulb is three-fifths that required by the 110W bulb

<h3>Electrical Power</h3>
  • Electrical power is defined as the amount of electrical work done per second
  • Power = electrical work done in joules/time taken in seconds

The formula for calculating power is as follows:

  • P = IV = V²/R = I²R

Assuming the voltage across the light bulbs is the same

From the formula, P = IV;

I = P/V

For the 60 W bulb

I₁ = 60/V

For the 100W bulb

I₂ = 100/V

Taking ratios of the currents:

I₁/I₂ = {60/V}/{`100/V}

I₁/I₂ = 3/5

Therefore, the current required by the 60W bulb is three-fifths that required by the 110W bulb

A ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air with initial velocity of 42 ft/sec. Assuming that the air resistance can
Volgvan

Answer:

Maximum height of the ball, h(t) = 27.56 m

Explanation:

It is given that, a ball is shot from the ground straight up into the air with initial velocity of 42 ft/sec.      

The height of the ball as a function of time t is given by :

h(t)=h_o+v_ot-16t^2

h₀ is initial height, h₀ = 0

So, h(t)=42t-16t^2 .........(1)

For maximum/minimum height,  \dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}=0

42-32t=0...(2)

t = 1.31 s

Differentiating equation (2) wrt t

h''(t) = -32 < 0

So, at t = 1.31 seconds we will get the maximum height.

Put the value of t in equation (1)

h(t)=42\times 1.31-16\times (1.31)^2

h(t) = 27.56 m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A solid sphere of diameter D = 26 cm has a charge of Q = 4 nano-coulombs uniformly distributed on it. Calculate the magnitude of
kozerog [31]

Answer:

E = 4.83  N/ C

Explanation:

If we have a uniform charge sphere we can use the following formulas to calculate the Electric field due to the charge of the sphere:

E= \frac{k*Q}{r^{2} } : Formula (1) To calculate the electric field in the region outside the sphere r ≥ a

Where:

K: coulomb constant (N*m²/C²)

a: sphere radius (m)

Q:  Total sphere charge (C)

r : Distance from the center of the sphere to the region where the electric field is calculated (m)

Equivalences

1nC=10⁻⁹C

1cm= 10⁻²m

Data

k= 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Q=4nC=4 *10⁻⁹C

D = 26 cm = 26*10⁻²m = 0.26m

a = D/2 = 0.13m

r= R+a = 2.6 m+ 0.13m = 2.73m

Problem development

Magnitude of the electric field at r = 2.73m from the center of the sphere  

r>a , We apply the Formula (1) :

E= \frac{k*Q}{r^{2} }

E= \frac{9*10^{9}*4*10^{-9} }{2.73^{2} }

E= 4.83 N/ C
