Two 8.0 Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 12 V series circuit. What is the power of both glowing bulbs?

Physics
1 answer:
V125BC [204]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W

kifflom [539]

Answer:

6.5 kW

Explanation:

Input power = 20 kW = 20000 W

h = 45 m

Volume flow per second = 0.03 m^3 /s

mass flow per second = volume flow per second x density of water

                                    = 0.03 x 1000 = 30 kg/s

Output power = m g h / t = 30 x 10 x 45 = 13500 W

Power converted in form of heat = Input power - Output power

                                                       = 20000 - 13500 = 6500 W = 6.5 kW

Thus, mechanical power converted into heat is 6.5 kW.

Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

A 2.0 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring whose force constant is 590 N/m. The block is pulled
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The  value is  v =  -0.04 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass  of the block is  m  =  2.0 \ kg

   The  force constant  of the spring is  k  =  590 \ N/m

   The amplitude  is  A =  + 0.080

   The  time consider is  t =  0.10 \  s

Generally the angular velocity of this  block is mathematically represented as

      w =  \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>   w =  \sqrt{\frac{590}{2} }

=>   w = 17.18 \  rad/s

Given that the block undergoes simple harmonic motion the velocity is mathematically represented as  

         v  =  -A w sin (w* t )

=>       v  = -0.080 * 17.18 sin (17.18* 0.10 )

=>       v =  -0.04 \  m/s
