There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.

A 50 Q resistor in a circuit has a current flowing through it of 2.0 A. What is

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

We can use the following equation for calculating power dissipated by a resistor:
$P = i^2R$

P = Power (? W)
i = Current through resistor (2.0 A)
R = Resistance of resistor (50Ω)

Plug in the known values and solve.

$P = (2.0^2)(50) = \boxed{\text{ B. }200 W}$

What kind of friction occurs as a fish swims through water?

Paul [167]

It must be sliding friction, because the fish is already in motion.

A 460 W heating unit is designed to operate with an applied potential difference of 120 V (a) By what percentage will its heat o

dybincka [34]

Answer:

(a) = -0.16%

(b) = smaller

Explanation:

given

power = 460 W

potential difference = 120 V

(a) what percentage will its heat output drop if the applied potential difference drops to 110 V ?

we know $p = \frac{v^2}{R}$ .....................(i)

we need to find change in power

$\Delta P = \frac{\Delta (V^2)}{R}$

$\Delta P = \frac{2 V \Delta V}{R}$ ..............(ii)

from equations we get

$\frac{\Delta P}{P} = \frac{2 \Delta V}{V}$

$\frac{\Delta P}{P} = 2 \frac{110 -120}{120}$

$\frac{\Delta P}{P} = -2(\frac{10}{120})$

$\frac{\Delta P}{P} = - 0.16 %$

(b)

if we increase temperature resistance will increase and decrease with decrease in temperature and we know power is inversely proportional to resistance so if potential decrease and it would cause drop in power

and due to this increment of heating power resistance will decrease so actual drop in the power would be smaller
