Answer:

The answer is: The increased voltage causes an increase in power usage, and the device will over-heat.

Explanation:

First, we must consider the variables of the electrical system that will allow us to respond. In this case, power, current and voltage, which are related by

P=VI

Where P=Power, V=Voltage, I=Current.

In the equation it can be observed that power is directly proportional to the system voltage. Thus, if the voltage increases as in this case, the power will also increase, which overheats the device and can cause damage to it.

A girl playing tug-of-war with her dog pulls the dog a distance of 8.0m by exerting a force at an angle of 18° with the horizont
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25 N

Explanation:

Work is a product of force and perpendicular distance moved.

W=Fd where F is force exerted and d is perpendicular distance.

However, for this case, the distance is inclined hence resolving it to perpendicular so that it be along x-axis we have distance as dcos\theta

Therefore, W=Fdcos\theta

Making F the subject of the formula then

F=\frac {W}{dcos\theta} where \theta is the angle of inclination. Substituting 190 J for W then 18 degrees for \theta and 8 m for d then

F=\frac {190}{8cos18^{\circ}}\approx 25N

On a caterpillars map all distances are marked in kilometers . The caterpillars map shows the distance between two milkweed plan
frutty [35]

Answer:

The distance in kilometers is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

Explanation:

We know that the conversion of 1 millimeters is equal to 10^{-3} meter. And then the conversion of 1 meter is equal to 10^{-3} km. Then the conversion of 1 millimeter to km will be

1 mm = 10^{-3} m

1 m = 10^{-3} km

So, 1 mm = 10^{-3}×10^{-3} km = 10^{-6} km.

As here the the distance is 4012 mm, then the distance in km will be

4012 mm = 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

So the distance is 4012 ×10^{-6} km.

A batter hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat with an initial speed of 60m/s at an initial angle of 42 with the horizontal
Elza [17]

Answer: 24.06°

Explanation:

So,we can say after t if it reaches height h then,

h = (37 sin 53)t - 1/2 * 9.8t^2 (as,vertical component of velocity is 37 sin 53)

Given t = 2s

So, h = 39.5m

And horizontal displacement will be

r = 37 cos 53 *2 = 44.52m

So,after 2s the baseball will be lying 39.57m

above its point of projection and 44.52m ahead of its point of projection.

Now.let the vertical component of velocity will become Vy after time 2s

So, Uy = 37 sin 53- 9.8* 2

or, U = 9.95m/s

And.horizontal component of velocity remains

constant i.e Vx = 37 cos 53 = 22.27m/s

So.magnitude of velocity after 2s is

Square root of (Vx^2 + Vy^2)= 24.4m/s

Making an angle of tan 22.27/9.95 = 24.06°

Which of these is a possible disadvantage of using wind as a source of
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.

Explanation:

In wind turbines the kinetic energy received by the air molecules is converted into electrical energy by the use of turbines

So here in order to get more kinetic energy from air we need more crossectional area of the wind mill to interact with the air

So here we need the large size of turbines

so this is the main disadvantage of the wind turbines because it needs large area to install the whole setup also the efficiency of this turbine is small so it needs large number of wind mills to setup good output power

so correct answer will be

D. Wind turbines take up a lot of space.
