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 car starts from rest and after 20 seconds it's velocity becomes 108km find the acceleration of the car
andre [41]

Answer:

1.5 km/s²

Explanation:

Given that:

a car starts from rest; it means the initial velocity (u) = 0 km/hr = 0 m/s

after time (t) = 20 seconds

the final velocity = 108 km/hr = 30 m/s

The acceleration (a) of the car can be determined by using the formula:

a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a = \dfrac{30\  m/s -0 \ m/s}{20 \ s}

a = \dfrac{30 \  m/s}{20 \ s}

a = 1.5 km/s²

Photons with the highest energy have the ____
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

D. shortest wavelength

Explanation:

Photons with the highest energy have the shortest wavelength. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of a photon.

A photon is a quantity that transmits electromagnetic energy from one place to the other.

  • Gamma rays have photons that transmits the highest amount of energy.
  • The rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all electromagnetic radiations.

Energy, wavelength and frequency of a photon are connected using the expression:

    E =  h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}  

E is the energy

h is the Planck's constant

 f is the frequency.

A crate is pushed horizontally by a horizontal force 527.018 N . Sliding friction resists the motion, and the kinetic coefficien
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

m= 10 kg a = 52 m / s²

Explanation:

For this problem we must use Newton's second law, let's apply it to each axis

X axis

      F - fr = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

    -fr = miu N

Axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = mg

Let's replace and calculate laceration

     F - miu (mg) = ma

    a = F / m - mi g

    a = 527.018 / m - 0.17 9.8

We must know the mass of the body suppose m = 10 kg

    a = 527.018 / 10 - 1,666

    a = 52 m / s²
