Answer:

$Power=V\, I$ which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

$Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I$

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

Answer:

increase

decrease

Explanation:

using formula

Vt=mg/6πηr

so if m increases V increases

r is the denominator so if r increases V decreases

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

$R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}$

$R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}$

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.

Which is best supported by the data in the chart?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Option C: Current X has a lower potential difference than Current Y.

Explanation:

The chart above only shows the potential difference of difference current.

A careful observation of the chart shows that Current X has a lower potential difference than Current Y.

A truck contains both hydraulic brakes (reliability 0.96) and mechanical brakes (reliability 0.99). What is the probability of s

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

i) 0.9504

ii) 0.0452

Explanation:

Given data: reliability of hydraulic brakes= 0.96

reliability of mechanical brakes = 0.99

So the probability of stopping the truck = 0.96×0.99= 0.9504

At low speed

case: A works and B does not

= 0.96×(1-0.99) = 0.0096

case2 : B works and A does not

= 0.99×(1-0.96) = 0.0396

Therefore, probality of stopping = 0.0096+0.0396 = 0.0492

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headligh

choli [55]

Answer:

They can be seen from a distance of 4.372 kilometers.

Explanation:

Using the Reyligh creterion for diffraction through a circular aperture we have

$\frac{x}{D}=\frac{1.22\lambda }{d}$

where symbol's have their usual meaning

thus applying values we get

$D=\frac{dx}{1.22\lambda }$

$\therefore D=\frac{0.633\times 4.61\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 547\times 10^{-9}}\\\\D=4372.77m\\=4.372km$
