An electrical heating element produces heat depending on the resistance of the element and the current passed through it. The he

at produced can be given by the formula h = I2R where h is the heat generated, I is the current, and R is the resistance. If the element has a fixed current of 2 amps passing through it and a variable current of x amps, it is able to produce a heat of 10x3 + 80, depending on the variable resistance for different additional values of current x. Determine the formula for the variable resistance.

The heat produced by current I is
H = I²R
where
R =  resistance.
According to the formula, heat produced is proportional to the square of the current.

When a current of I = 2 amps is applied, the heat produced is 
H = 10x³ + 80.
This heat includes heat due to a fixed current of 2 amps, and heat due to a variable current of x amps.

Because the heat produced is proportional to the square of the current, write the expressions as
H = (10x)*(x²) + 20*(2²)

The second term on the right is heat due to the fixed current of 2 amps, written as
20*(2²).
Therefore the fixed resistance is R = 20 ohms, and the square of the fixed current is 2².

The first term represents heat due to variable resistance, written as
(10x)*(x²).
Therefore the variable resistance is 10x, and the square of the variable current is x².

Answer:
The variable current is  10x.

What is the volume of the composite figure with the dimensions shown in the 3 views? (Round to the nearest tenth)
givi [52]

Answer:

278.9 units^3 to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a cylinder on the bottom . resting on the cylinder is a prism.

Volume of the cylinder = π r^2 h  where r = 1/2 * 7 = 3.5 and h = 6.

V = π * 3.5^2 * 6 = 230.907 units^3.

Volume of the prism = l*w*h

= 4*4*3 = 48 units^3.

Volume of the composite figure = 230.907 + 48

= 278.9.

3. A mysterious metal medallion has a mass of 3,088 grams. Water is poured into a graduated glass container with a 10-by-10 cm s
Gekata [30.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of displaced water = (10cm)(10cm)(1.6cm)

= 160 cm^3

density = mass/vol of displaced water

= 3088 grams/160 cm^3

= 19.3 g/cm^3

P.S. This is most likely a pure gold medallion.
