An electrical source is characterized by the electromotive force Ue=60V and the internal resistance Ri=2Ω. Determine the value of the electric current for which the appliance power will be at its maximum and determine the value of this maximum power as well. Hint: The dependence of the power of an appliance (P, unit Watt (W)) on the magnitude of the folowing current (I, unit Ampere (A)) is given by the relation P=UeIRiI2. The source properties have a role of parameters: Ue is the electromotive force and Ri is the internal resistance of the source.

Suppose we throw an object vertically upwards at the initial speed v0=60m/s. Determine the time needed for the object to reach the maximum height and determine the corresponding maximum height as well. Hint: The vertical upwards motion of a body is the movement composed of uniformly rectilinear motion (vertically upwards) and free fall. The dependence of the instantaneous height of a body on the time is given by the relation h=v0t12gt2, where v0 is the magnitude of the initial velocity and g is the gravitational acceleration. In this problem, calculate with the rounded value of g=10ms2. We measure time t in second and height h in meters.

Suppose we throw an object vertically upwards at the initial speed v0=80m/s. Determine the time needed for the object to reach the maximum height and determine the corresponding maximum height as well.

Using a 60m long wire mash we shall fence a rectangular garden with two inner walls (see the picture). What will the dimensions a and b of the garden be, if there is 2m wide opening in one outside wall and the area of the garden shall be as large as possible? (The wire mesh is used to make inner walls as well.)
a=7.75m, b=15.5m
a=7.25m, b=16.5m
a=7.5m, b=16m
a=10m, b=11m
