Answer:

0.5 A

Explanation:

Current: This is defined as the rate flow of electric charge round a circuit,

The S.I unit of current is Ampere (A). Mathematically,

Current (I) = C/t

I = C/t................  Equation 1

Where  C = capacity of the battery, t = time

Given: C= 3 Ah, t = 6 hours.

Substitute into equation 1

I = 3/6

I = 1/2

I = 0.5 A.

Hence the average current drawn = 0.5 A

An object of mass 8.0 kg is attached to an ideal massless spring and allowed to hang in the Earth's gravitational field. The spr
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

2.63 Hz

Explanation:

m = mass of the object = 8.0 kg

x = stretch in the spring = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

k = spring constant of the spring

using equilibrium of force

Spring force = weight of object

k x = m g

k (0.036) = (8) (9.8)

k = 2177.78 N/m

frequency of oscillation is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

f = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2177.78}{8}}

f =  2.63 Hz

What type of light does this light bulb produce most (i.e. at what wavelength does the spectrum have maximum intensity)?
lesantik [10]

Answer: The light bulb produces the continuous light. At minimum wavelength the spectrum have maximum intensity.

Explanation:

According to Wein's displacement law, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The intensity depends on the frequency. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

Therefore, when the temperature of the light bulb will be maximum then the wavelength will be minimum. At minimum wavelength the spectrum have maximum intensity.

For an object starting from rest and accelerating with constant acceleration, distance traveled is proportional to the square of
natali 33 [55]

The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in the form of:

d = k t^2

where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs / s^2

 

<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t = 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>

2 = k (2)^2

k = 2 / 4

k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2

The equation becomes:

d = 0.5 t^2

 

Now solving for d when t = 4:

d = 0.5 (4)^2

d = 0.5 * 16

<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car W=14,000\ N

mass of car m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N

velocity of car v=25\ m/s

radius r=200\ m

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}

a_c=3.125\ m

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}

F=4464.285\ N

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

=\mu N

where \mu=coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

F_c=F_r

4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8

\mu =0.318
