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

Answer:

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

z^2=x^2+y^2

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

z^2=150^2+14^2

z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}

z=150.74 ft

z^2=x^2+y^2

By differentiating with respect to time t

2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Here x is constant that is why

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

A car accelerates from rest to 90m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration and how far did it travel?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.)acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/time

90m/s-0m/s /3seconds

=30m/s^2

2.) distance= speed*time

90m/s*3seconds

=270m
