Answer:

$P=I^2R$

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a resistor is given by the equation:

$P=I^2 R$

where

P is the power

I is the current

R is the resistance

We can also rewrite the equation by using Ohm's law:

$V=IR$

where V is the potential difference across the resistor. Rewriting R as

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

The equation for the power becomes

$P=VI$

A one-dimensional plane wall of thickness 2l= 100 mm experiences uniform thermal energy generation of q˙= 800 w/m3 and is convec

slega [8]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the wall = 40W/m.C

h = 10 W/m^2.C

Explanation:

The heat conduction equation is given by:

d^2T/ dx^2 + egen/ K = 0

The thermal conductivity of the wall can be calculated using:

K = egen/ 2a = 800/2×10

K = 800/20 = 40W/m.C

Applying energy balance at the wall surface

"qL = "qconv

-K = (dT/dx)L = h (TL - Tinfinity)

The convention heat transfer coefficient will be:

h = -k × (-2aL)/ (TL - Tinfinty)

h = ( 2× 40 × 10 × 0.05) / (30-26)

h = 40/4 = 10W/m^2.C

From the given temperature distribution

t(x) = 10 (L^2-X^2) + 30 = 30°

T(L) = ( L^2- L^2) + 30 = 30°

dT/ dx = -2aL

d^2T/ dx^2 = - 2a

Two massless bags contain identical bricks, each brick having a mass M. Initially, each bag contains four bricks, and the bags m

stepladder [879]

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The excess charge on earth's surface was calculated to be 4.56 × 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Using the formula for an electric field;

E = kQ/r²

k = 1/(4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

E = 100N/C

r = radius of the earth = 6400 km = 6400000m

Q = Er²/k = 100 × (6400000)²/(8.99 × 10⁹)

Q = 455617.4 C = 4.56 × 10⁵ C

How many pounds of meat does a cougar eat per day

Luba_88 [7]

A large male cougar living in the Cascade Mountains kills a deer or elk every 9 to 12 days, eating up to 20 pounds at a time and burying the rest for later.Except for females with young, cougars are lone hunters that wander between places frequented by their prey, covering as much as 15 miles in a single night.Cougars rely on short bursts of speed to ambush their prey. A cougar may stalk an animal for an hour or more

hope this helps in any way ! :)
