One formula for the power dissipated in an electric circuit is

         Power  =  (current)² x (resistance) .

I think that's the one we should use, because it has exactly
all of the quantities that we know or need to find.

OK.       
               Original power  =  (original current)² x (original resistance)
and
               New power  =  (new current)²  x  (new resistance)

                                 =  (0.5 x old current)² x (3 x old resistance)

                                 = (0.25) (old current)² x (3) (old resistance)

                                 =  (0.75) (original current)² (original resistance)

                                 =  (0.75) (original power) .

Summary:        New power  =  (0.75) (original power)

That looks just like
choice B: 
                 The power will decrease to 75 percent of its previous value.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A) Z = 0.577 C +112.931

Z = 0.577*(100) +112.931=170.631 Z

B) C=\frac{Z-112.931}{0.577}= \frac{100-112.931}{0.577}=-22.41 C

C) K = C +273.15

K = -22.41 +273.15 =250.739 K

Explanation:

For this case we want to create a function like this:

Z = a C + b

Where Z represent the degrees for the Z scale C the Celsius grades and  tha valus a and b parameters for the model.

The boiling point of nitrogen is -195,8 °C

The melting point of iron is 1538 °C

We know the following equivalences:

-195.8 °C = 0 °Z

1538 °C = 1000 °Z

Let's say that one point its (1538C, 1000 Z) and other one is (-195.8 C, 0Z)

So then we can calculate the slope for the linear model like this:

a = \frac{z_2 -z_1}{c_2 -c_1}= \frac{1000 Z- 0Z}{1538C -(-195.8 C)}=\frac{1000 Z}{1733.8 C}=0.577 \frac{Z}{C}

And now for the slope we can use one point let's use for example (-195.8C, 0Z), and we have this:

0 = 0.577 (-195.8) + b

And if we solve for b we got:

b = 0.577*195.8 =112.931 Z

So then our lineal model would be:

Z = 0.577 C +112.931

Part A

The boiling point of water is 100C so we just need to replace in the model and see what we got:

Z = 0.577*(100) +112.931=170.631 Z

Part B

For this case we have Z =100 and we want to solve for C, so we can do this:

Z-112.931 = 0.577 C

C=\frac{Z-112.931}{0.577}= \frac{100-112.931}{0.577}=-22.41 C

Part C

For this case we know that K = C +273.15

And we can use the result from part B to solve for K like this:

K = -22.41 +273.15 =250.739 K

The superheroine Xanaxa, who has a mass of 68.1 kg , is pursuing the 75.3 kg archvillain Lexlax. She leaps from the ground to th
Alexandra [31]

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

U = mg\Delta h

Here,

\Delta h = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

\Delta h = h_f - h_i

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

h_f = -16.1m

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

\Delta h = -16.1m-0m

\Delta h = -16.1m

Replacing all this values we have,

U = mg\Delta h

U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)

U = -10744.81J

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude  of the second displacement

β= 21.8° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement

Explanation:

We find the x-y components for the given vectors:

i:  unit vector in x direction

j:unit vector in y direction

D₁: Displacement Vector 1

D₂: Displacement Vector 2

R= resulta displacement vector

D₁= 152*cos110°(i)+152*sin110°(j)=-51.99i+142.83j

D₂= -D₂(i)-D₂(j)

R=  131*cos38°(i)+ 131*sin38°(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

We propose the vector equation for sum of vectors:

D₁+ D₂= R

-51.99i+142.83j+D₂x(i)-D₂y(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

-51.99i+D₂x(i)=103.23i

D₂x=103.23+51.99=155.22 cm

+142.83j-D₂y(j) =+80.65j

D₂y=142.83-80.65=62.18 cm

Magnitude and direction of the second displacement

D_{2} =\sqrt{(D_{x})^{2} +(D_{y} )^{2}  }

D_{2} =\sqrt{(155.22)^{2} +(62.18 )^{2}  }

D₂= 167.21 cm

Direction of the second displacement

\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{D_{y}}{D_{x} }

\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{62.18}{155.22 }

β= 21.8°

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude  of the second displacement

β= 21.8.° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement
