The power dissipated by a resistor is equal to
P=R I^2
where R is the value of the resistance and I is the current flowing through the resistor. From the formula, we can see that the larger R, the larger the dissipated power, so the greatest resistance dissipates more power.

You drag a crate across a floor with a rope. The force applied is 750 N and the angle of the rope is 25.0° above the horizontalH
frez [133]

a.

The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:

W=F\cos\theta\cdot d

where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.

The problen gives the following data:

The magnitude of the force 750 N.

The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°

The distance, 26 m.

Plugging this in the formula we have:

\begin{gathered} W=\left(750\right)\left(\cos25\right)\left(26\right) \\ W=17673 \end{gathered}

Therefore the work done is 17673 J.

b)

The power is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{17673}{6} \\ P=2945.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore the power is 2945.5 W

In practice, if a voltmeter was connected across any combination of the terminals, the potential difference would be less than w
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is built by a galvanometer and a resistance in series, this set is connected in parallel to the resistance where the voltage is to be measured, therefore the voltage is divided between the voltmeter and the element to be measured, consequently the measured voltage It is less than the calculated one, since for them the resistance of the voltmeter is assumed infinite.

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz
igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The energy of the electron is E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV

      The earths magnetic field is B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T

     

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

          \= F = q (\= v * \=B)

On the first uploaded image is an  illustration of the movement of the electron

    Looking at the diagram  we can see that in terms of direction  the magnetic force  is

             \= F  =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)

                = -(- (\r i * \r k))

generally  i cross k = -j

      so the equation above becomes

             \= F = -(-(- \r j))

                = - \r j

This show that the direction is towards the south
