explain how you can determine how much power a circuit will generate if you know the voltage and resistance but not the current

1 answer:

8 0

The general formula for power dissipation is:
Power = Current x Voltage
However, if you only know the voltage and the resistance, you can calculate the current using Ohm's Law, which is usually given as:
Voltage = Current x Resistance
However, you can rearrange this to give:
Current = Voltage/Resistance
You can then substitute this into the expression for power dissipation to yield an equation that gives an expression for power in terms of only voltage and resistance:
Power = $Voltage^{2}$ / Resistance

A trough is 10 feet long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 3 feet across at the top and 1 foot high. I

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.6 ft/min

Explanation:

Since trough is 10 ft long and water is filled at the rate of 12ft3/min. We can calculate the rate of water filled with respect to area:

= 12 / 10 = 1.2ft2/min

As the water level rises, so does the water surface, or the bottom side of the isosceles triangles. In fact we can calculate the bottom side when the trough is half foot deep:

= 3 / 2 = 1.5 ft

The rate of change in water level would be the same as calculating the height of the isosceles triangles knowing its base

= 1.2 * 2 / 1.5 = 1.6 ft/min

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at

inn [45]

Answer:

a) $v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

b) $H=8.9605\,m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, $m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

compression of the spring, $\Delta x=0.0476\,m$

force required for the given compression, $F=9.12 \,N$

(a)

We know

$F=m.a$

where:

a= acceleration

$9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a$

$a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\$

we have:

initial velocity, $u=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x$

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

$v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476$

$v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

$u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}$

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

$v=0\,m.s^{-1}$

Using the equation of motion:

$v^2=u^2-2g.h$

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

$0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=8.9129\,m$

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

$H=h+\Delta x$

$H=8.9129+0.0476$

$H=8.9605\,m$

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= - .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

How much heat is removed from 60 grams of steam at 100 °C to change it to 60 grams

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

H = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

Insert the parameters and solve;

H = 20g x 2260J/g

H = 45200J

Verify that the SI unit of impulse is the same as the SI unit of momentum.

lys-0071 [83]

Maybe this will help you out:

Momentum is calculate by the formula:

$P = mv$

Where:

P = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

The SI unit:

$mass = kg\\ velocity = \dfrac{m}{s}$

So the unit of momentum would be:

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum or how much force changes momentum. It can be calculate with the formula:

I = FΔt

where:

I = impulse

F = Force

Δt = change in time

The SI unit:

F = Newtons (N) or $kg.\dfrac{m}{s^{2} }$

t = Seconds (s)

So the unit of impulse would be derived this way:

I = FΔt

I = $kg.\dfrac{m}{s^{2} }$ x $s$

$\dfrac{kg.m.s}{s^{2}} = \dfrac{kg.m.s}{s.s}$

You can then cancel out one s each from the numerator and denominator and you'll be left with:

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

So then:

Momentum: Impulse

$kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$ $kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$
