Electricity: Series Resistors

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Hard of Physics

In a Physics laboratory, a high school student is conducting an experiment to study the behavior of resistors in an electrical circuit. He sets up a circuit in series with five resistors of different values: R1 = 10 ohms, R2 = 20 ohms, R3 = 30 ohms, R4 = 40 ohms, and R5 = 50 ohms. A constant voltage source of 120 volts is connected to the circuit, and the student wants to calculate the current passing through each of the resistors. The resistors are connected in a way that the current passing through one of them also passes through all the others. Considering that the behavior of the resistors is ideal and that there are no inductive effects, calculate the current passing through each of the resistors. (Use Ohm's law and the rules of resistors in series to solve the problem, ignoring possible temperature variations that could alter the resistance values of the components).

A motor operates according to the Carnot cycle between two thermal sources. The hot source is at a temperature of 500 K and the cold source at 300 K. Determine the efficiency of the motor, knowing that the efficiency of the Carnot cycle is calculated by the expression 1 - (Tcold/Thot), where Tcold and Thot are the temperatures of the cold and hot sources, respectively. Discuss briefly the importance of the maximum efficiency of the Carnot cycle in practical applications of thermal engines.

An airplane initially flies north at a speed of 200 km/h. Due to a wind blowing from east to west, the airplane ends up deviating to the northeast, following a trajectory that forms a 45-degree angle with the north direction and covering a distance of 300 km from the starting point. Determine, using vector concepts, the speed of the airplane relative to the ground, considering the effect of the wind. Consider that the wind speed is constant and equal to 50 km/h, and that the wind direction is perpendicular to the initial direction of the airplane.
