A 120 V fish-tank heater is rated at 130W. Calculate (a) the current through the heater when it is operating, and (b) its resistance

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The power P dissipated by a heater is defined as

[tex]P = VI[/tex]

where V is the voltage and I is the current.

a) The current running through a 130-W heater is

[tex]I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{120\:\text{V}} = 1.08\:\text{A}[/tex]

b) The resistance R of the heater is

[tex]P = VI = (IR)I = I^2R[/tex]

where [tex]V= IR[/tex] is our familiar Ohm's Law.

[tex]\Rightarrow R = \dfrac{P}{I^2} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{(1.08\:\text{A})^2}[/tex]

[tex]R = 110.8\:Ω[/tex]

Answer 2

The current running through the heater when it is operating is 1.08 A.

The resistance of the heater is 110.8 ohm.

What is current?A current is a flow of Charges.The formula of current is , current I = power P / voltage VThe SI unit of current is ampere A.

So, from the above equation we can calculate,

              current I = P/V

                      ∴   I = 130 / 120

                      ∴   I = 1.08 A

What is resistance?The resistance is a quantity which oppose the current flow in a circuit.The formula of resistance is ( in the terms of power P and ohm's law V=IR )  resistance R = P/I^2.The SI unit of resistance is ohm.

So, from the equation we can calculate,

                   Resistance R = P/I^2

                                  ∴  R = 130/(1.08)^2

                                  ∴  R = 110.8 ohm

Thus, the current running through the heater when it is operating is 1.08 A.

The resistance of the heater is 110.8 ohm.

A 500 kg cart is rolling to the right at 1.3 m/s. a 60 kg man is standing on the right end of the cart. what is the speed of the cart if tha man suddenly starts running to the left with a speed 10.0 m/s relative to the cart

Answers

Answer:

P1 = 1.3 (500 + 60) = 728 kg-m      total momentum to right at start

P2 = (v2 - 10) 60 + 500 v2

total momentum after running at -10 with respect to cart = 728 where v2 is the new speed of the cart

728 = 560 v2 - 600

v2 = 1328 / 560 = 2.37 m/s    new speed of cart

Check:

After:    p2 for cart = 500 * 2.37 = 1186

p1 for man = (2.37 - 10) * 60 = -458

P2 = p1 + p2 = 728       total momentum unchanged

A 12.0 kg box resting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a 5.00 kg weight by a thin, light wire that passes over a frictionless pulley (Figure 1). The pulley has the shape of a uniform solid disk of mass 2.60 kg and diameter 0.500 m. A) After the system is released, find the tension in the horizontal segment of the wire. B) After the system is released, find the tension in the vertical segment of the wire. C) After the system is released, find the x-component of the acceleration of the box. D) After the system is released, find the x- and y-components of the force that the axle exerts on the pulley.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming x direction is horizontal any y direction is vertical

As the moment of inertia of the pulley is I = (½)mR²

The pulley mass will appear as ½ its actual mass in the system.

F = ma

5.00(9.81) = (5.00 + 2.60/2 + 12.0)a

a =  49.05 / 18.3

a = 2.6803278...

a = 2.68 m/s²

A) T = 12.0(2.68) = 32.16... = 32.2 N

B) T = 5.00(9.81 - 2.68) = 35.65 = 35.7 N

C) aₓ = 2.68 m/s²

D) Fx = 32.2 N

   Fy = 35.7 + 2.60(9.81) = 61.2 N

A)The tension in the horizontal segment of the wire will be  32.2 N

B)The tension in the vertical segment of the wire will be 35.7 N

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity of the body. Its unit is m/sec².It is a vector quantity. It requires both magnitudes as well as direction to define.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass box resting on a horizontal  =12.0 kg

the uniform solid disk of mass of 2.60 kg

d is the diameter = 0.500 m.

A)The tension in the horizontal segment of the wire will be  32.2 N

The acceleration is found as;

[tex]\rm F = ma \\\\ a= \frac{49.05}{18.3} \\\\ \rm a= 2.68 \ m/sec^2[/tex]

The tension in the horizontal segment of the wire is found as;

T=ma

T= 12.0 ×2.68

T=32.2 N

Hence the tension in the horizontal segment of the wire will be  32.2 N

B)The tension in the vertical segment of the wire will be 35.7 N

T=m(g-a )

T= 5.00 × (9.8-2.68)

T=35.7 N

Hence the tension in the vertical segment of the wire will be 35.7 N

C)  the x-component of the acceleration of the box. will be 2.68 m/s².

aₓ = 2.68 m/s²

D)The x- and y-components of the force that the axle exerts on the pulley will be 32.2 and 61.2 N respectively.

Fx = 32.2 N

Fy = 35.7 + 2.60(9.81) = 61.2 N

Hence the x- and y-components of the force that the axle exerts on the pulley will be 32.2 and 61.2 N respectively.

7. A 1.00 kg mass is connected to a spring with a spring constant of 9.00 N/m. If the initial velocity is 4.00 cm/s and the initial displacement is 0.00 cm, then A) what is the maximum spring potential energy of the simple harmonic motion

Answers

At the equilibrium position of the spring, the mass has kinetic energy

1/2 (1.00 kg) (0.0400 m/s)² = 0.000800 J = 0.800 mJ = 800 µJ

and when the spring is maximally compressed, this kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

The maximum spring potential energy of the simple harmonic motion is approximately 7.48 millijoules.

To find the maximum spring potential energy (Us) in simple harmonic motion, we need to determine the maximum displacement (A) of the mass from its equilibrium position.

In simple harmonic motion, the maximum displacement is equal to the amplitude of the oscillation.

The formula for maximum displacement (A) is given by:

A = v0 / ω

where v0 is the initial velocity (4.00 cm/s) and ω is the angular frequency of the oscillation.

The angular frequency (ω) is given by:

ω =[tex]\sqrt{(k / m)[/tex]

where k is the spring constant (9.00 N/m) and m is the mass (1.00 kg).

Substitute the values:

ω = [tex]\sqrt{(9.00 N/m / 1.00 kg)} = \sqrt{9.00 rad/s[/tex] ≈ 3.00 rad/s

Now, calculate the maximum displacement:

A = 4.00 cm/s / 3.00 rad/s ≈ 1.33 cm

Next, calculate the maximum spring potential energy:

Us =[tex](1/2) * k * A^2[/tex]

Us = (1/2) * 9.00 N/m * [tex](1.33 cm)^2[/tex]≈ 7.48 mJ

An archer's bow is drawn at its midpoint until the tension in the string is 0.842 times the force exerted by the archer. What is the angle between the two halves of the string

Answers

Consult the attached free body diagram.

If we take the direction of F to be the positive horizontal axis, and upward to be the positive vertical axis, then using Newton's second law we have net forces

• ∑ F [horizontal] = F [archer] + T cos(180° - θ) + T cos(180° + θ) = 0

• ∑ F [vertical] = T sin(180° - θ) + T sin(180° + θ) = 0

since the bow is held in place while it's drawn. T is the magnitude of the tension in the string, and it can be shown to be equal in both strings since they both make the same angle with the negative horizontal axis (the dashed line).

We only really need the first equation. Simplifying it, we get

F [archer] - T cos(θ) - T cos(θ) = 0

F [archer] - 2T cos(θ) = 0

F [archer] = 2T cos(θ)

cos(θ) = F [archer] / (2T)

We're given that the tension T in the string is 0.842 times the force exerted by the archer, which is to say

T = 0.842 F [archer]

and from this we have

cos(θ) = F [archer] / (2 • 0.842 F [archer])

cos(θ) = 1/1.684

cos(θ) ≈ 0.593

Solving for θ gives an angle of θ ≈ arccos(0.593) ≈ 53.6°. Then the angle between the two tension forces is twice this, or about 2θ ≈ 107°.

Light from the Sun takes about 8.0 min to reach Earth. How far away is the Sun? Answer in scientific notation

Answers

z = 149.4 million km.
Explanation:
z = c * t
if you know the time that light takes to reach us then you can calculate the distance to that object and vice versa.
In the above equation,

z is the distance to the object.
t is the time light takes from the object to reach us

c is the speed of light which is always constant about 300,000 km/ sec.
The time light takes to reach us from the Sun is about 8.3 minutes.

z = 8.3 * 300,000

Note that the speed of light is in units of km/ sec so we will have to convert minutes into seconds.
1 minute = 60 seconds

8.3 minutes = 8.3 * 60

8.3 minutes = 498 seconds.

z = 498 * 3

z = 149400000 km

OR

z = 149.4 million km

Student 1 would have 467 W, and Student 2 would have 433 W of power.

Answers

Student 1 would have a power 467 W and student 2 would have a power of 433 W. The correct option is the fourth option - Student 1 would have 467 W, and Student 2 would have 433 W of power.

From the question,

We are to calculate the power each student would have to climb the flight of stairs.

Power can be calculated using the formula

[tex]P = \frac{F \times d}{t}[/tex]

Where

P is Power

F is the force

d is the distance

and t is the time

NOTE: The weight of the students represent the force

For student 1

F = 700 N

d = 4 m

t = 6 s

∴ [tex]P = \frac{700 \times 4}{6}[/tex]

P = 467 W

For student 2

F = 650 N

d = 4 m

t = 6 s

∴ [tex]P = \frac{650 \times 4}{6}[/tex]

P = 433 W

Hence, Student 1 would have a power 467 W and student 2 would have a power of 433 W. The correct option is the fourth option - Student 1 would have 467 W, and Student 2 would have 433 W of power.
