Answer:

The power, in watts, dissipated as heat in a resistor varies jointly with the resistance, in ohms, and the square of the current, in amperes. A 15-ohm resistor carrying a current of 1 ampere dissipates 15 watts. How much power is dissipated in a 5-ohm resistor carrying a current of 3 amperes?

A bus slams on its breaks and goes from 30 km/hr to 15km/hr in 4 seconds. What is its acceleration?

PolarNik [594]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (15 - 30) = -15 km/hr
Time for the change = 4 sec

Acceleration = (-15 km/hr) / (4 sec) = -3.75 km/hr per second .

Is that a lot ? Not much ?

Let's convert it to a unit that we can think about:

(-15 km/hr) x (1,000 m/km) x (1 hr / 3,600 sec) =

(-15 x 1,000) / (3,600) = -(4 and 1/6) m/sec .

So the acceleration of the bus is -(4 and 1/6) m/sec² .

The negative sign means that it slowed down.

(4 and 1/6) m/sec² is about 42% of the acceleration of gravity ...
the acceleration the bus would have if it drove off of a cliff.

When the car or the bus you're riding in slows down at that rate,
you feel 42% of your weight pulling you forward against your
seat belt. That's quite a drastic acceleration !

What is convection ?

bagirrra123 [75]

Convection is the rise of hot air and the drop of cold air due to a large amount of molecules being moved usually in gas form.\

A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.46 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 9.88 m/s. The roof mak

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

The horizontal speed
the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

$v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s$

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

$x(t)=8.8 m/s *t$
