Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Since power P=IV

Then it means when current increases, the power increases hence brightness increases. I represent current, P is power and v is voltage.

Current of capacitor when in series connection is given by

I=2\pi fCV

where I is current across capacitor, f is frequency, C is capacitance and v is voltage across capacitance. From this second formula, it is evident that an increase in capacitance increases the current across the capacitor. Therefore, if current increases, power also increases leading to an increase in brightness

When a 3.0 kg mass is hung from a vertical massless spring, the spring is stretched 40 cm. What is the spring constant of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

0.74 N/cm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = mg

F = 3 × 9.8

F = 29.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant of the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Force (F) = 29.4 N

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

29.4 = K × 40

Divide both side by 40

K = 29.4 / 40

K = 0.74 N/cm

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 0.74 N/cm

Two identical balls are thrown vertically upward. the second ball is thrown with an initial speed that is twice that of the firs
Temka [501]
The motion of the ball on the vertical axis is an accelerated motion, with acceleration 
a=g=-9.81 m/s^2
The following relationship holds for an uniformly accelerated motion:
2aS=v_f^2 - v_i^2
where S is the distance covered, vf the final velocity and vi the initial velocity.

If we take the moment the ball reaches the maximum height (let's call this height h), then at this point of the motion the vertical velocity is zero:
v_f =0
So we can rewrite the equation as
2(-9.81 m/s^2) h=-v_i^2
from which we can isolate h
h= \frac{v_i^2}{19.62} (1)

Now let's assume that v_i is the initial velocity of the first ball. The second ball has an initial velocity that is twice the one of the first ball: 2v_i. So the maximum height of the second ball is
h= \frac{(2v_i)^2}{19.62}= \frac{4v_i^2}{19.62} (2)

Which is 4 times the height we found in (1). Therefore, the maximum height of ball 2 is 4 times the maximum height of ball 1.

Benny wants to estimate the mean lifetime of Energizer batteries, with a confidence level of 97%, and with a margin of error not
VikaD [51]

Answer:

143 batteries does Benny need to sample

Explanation:

Given data

confidence level = 97%

error  = ±10 hours

standard deviation SD = 55 hours

to find out

how many batteries does Benny need to sample

solution

confidence level is 97%

so a will be 1 - 0.97 = 0.03

the value of Z will be for a 0.03 is 2.17 from standard table

so now we calculate no of sample i.e

no of sample  = (Z× SD/ error)²

no of sample = (2.16 × 55 / 10)²

no of sample = 142.44

so  143 batteries does Benny need to sample
