If the voltage across a circuit of constant resistance is doubled, the power dissipated by that circuit will

Physics

densk [106]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The voltage will quadruple

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a circuit is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

In this problem, the voltage across the circuit is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new power dissipated is

P'=\frac{V'^2}{R}=\frac{(2V)^2}{R}=4\frac{V^2}{R}=4 P

so, the power dissipated will quadruple.

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

A boy drags a suitcase along the ground with a force of 100 N. If the frictional force opposing the motion of the suitcase is 50
stira [4]
Fortunately, 'force' is a vector.  So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.

When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward.   Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.


            (100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)

        =  (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)

        =           50 N forward .

That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?

What four elements composed everything in nature according to the beliefs of the ancient greeks? air, earth, fire, and water air
Nimfa-mama [501]
The ancient Greeks, in a theory that was suggested around 450 BC, believed that everything was from from four elements. These elements included earth, water, air and fire. Later, Aristotle supported this theory.

Therefore, the first option is correct.
