A camcorder has a power rating of 13 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 6 volts, what current does it use?

Power = (voltage) x (current)

13 watts = (6 volts) x (current)

Divide each side by (6 volts):

Current = (13 watts) / (6 volts)

Current = (13/6) Amperes

Current = 2.17 Amperes

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is $V = IR$ , where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

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

and

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

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation $R = \frac{V}{I}$ , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

A cylindrical metal can is to have no lid. It is to have a volume of 125π in3. What height minimizes the amount of metal used?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Minimum height of metal = 5 inches

Explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical metal = πR²H = 125π

cancelling out π on both sides

R²H = 125

Hence it can be deduced that R² = 25 and H = 5

Hence minimum height of metal = 5 inches

The front 1.20 m of a 1,600-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a c

eimsori [14]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.

In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.

PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,

$X_f = X_i +\frac{1}{2}(V_i+V_f)t$

Where,

X = Desplazamiento

V = Velocity

t = Time

In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore

$X_f = \frac{1}{2} (V_i+V_f)t$

Clearing for time,

$t = \frac{2X_f}{(V_i+V_f)}$

$t = \frac{2*1.2}{24+0}$

$t = 0.1s$

PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:

F = ma

Where,

m=mass

a = acceleration

Acceleration can also be written as,

$a= \frac{\Delta V}{t}$

Then

$F = m\frac{\Delta V}{t}$

$F = m\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}$

$F = m\frac{-V_i}{t}$

$F = \frac{(1600kg)(-24m/s)}{(0.1s)}$

$F = -384000N$

Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.

PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as

$V_f^2=V_i^2-2ax$

$0 = (24m/s)^2-2*a(1.2m)$

$a = \frac{(24m/s)^2}{1.2m}$

$a=480m/s^2$

The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is

$a = 480*\frac{g}{9.8}$

$a = 53.3g$

Which of the following choices is a single-replacement reaction? A. 2K + Br2 2KBr B. 2H2 + O2 2H2O C. Mg + FeO Fe + MgO D. C + 2

Otrada [13]

A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound. In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound.

So you're answer is probably c.
