Answer:

P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

Explanation:

What the equation means is that if you double the current you end up with 4 times the power loss. It's like the area of carpet you need for a room - if you make the room twice as long and twice as wide you need 4x as much carpet. The physical explanation is that the voltage difference along a wire depends on the current - more current flowing with a resistance means more voltage (pressure of electricity if you like) is built up.

This extra voltage means more power. So if you double the current your would double the power, but you also double the voltage which doubles the power again = 4x as much power. P = VI = (IR)I = I2R

I hope this helps you out, if I'm wrong, just tell me.

As I mentioned earlier, Ohm's law gives us the formula P = IV, where V is the voltage ( also known as the electrical potential difference ) and I is the current. It is confusing that P = I²R and P = IV are one in the same - so I want to go a bit deeper on that.

We have three formulas, P = IV, P = I²R, and P = V² / R. Each are considered the same. The two formulas P = I²R, and P = V² / R are derived from the statement that P = IV, under the condition V = IR. Substitute the value of V from this second condition V = IR into P = IV. You would get the following -

P = I( IR ),

P = I²R

That is how one can derive the formula P = I²R, and how P = IV and P = I²R are thought to be one in the same. If you would like, take a look at how to get the formula " P = V² / R, "

V = IR, P = IV

I = V / R, P = IV

P = ( V / R )V,

P = V² / R

How does the Coriolis effect impact ocean currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
Strike441 [17]
  • The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around the Earth.
  • The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth’s rotation. Specifically, Earth rotates faster at the Equator than it does at the poles. Earth is wider at the Equator, s
  • The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

  • Let’s pretend you’re standing at the Equator and you want to throw a ball to your friend in the middle of North America. If you throw the ball in a straight line, it will appear to land to the right of your friend because he’s moving slower and has not caught up.

 

  • Now let’s pretend you’re standing at the North Pole. When you throw the ball to your friend, it will again to appear to land to the right of him. But this time, it’s because he’s moving faster than you are and has moved ahead of the ball.

  • Everywhere you play global-scale "catch" in the Northern Hemisphere, the ball will deflect to the right.

A 425 g block is released from rest at height h0 above a vertical spring with spring constant k = 460 N/m and negligible mass. T
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

(a) = +5.38m (b) = -5.38m (c) = 1.246m (d) = +0.3771m.

Explanation:

Initially the spring is at equilibrium,

Work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

Work = ∇K.E

Work = Kf -Ki =0

Since the work done = 0 since the body is at rest.

W(spring) + W(gravity) = 0

W(spring) + W(gravity) = 0

W(spring) = -W(gravity)

Work done by the block on the spring = W(block/spring)

W(block/spring) + W(spring) = 0

W(spring) = -∫kx.dx

W(spring) = ½k(X²i - X²f) ; Xi =0, Xf = 15.3cm = 0.153m

W(spring) = -½* 460 * (0.153)²

W(spring) = - 5.38NM

Work done by block on spring = + 5.38NM

(b). Workdone by spring on the block = -5.38NM.

Note: This is so because the displacement of the force is in the opposite direction to the previous one since they counter each other to maintain equilibrium.

(C). W(spring) +W(gravity) = 0

½kx² + mg(h + x) = 0

-5.83 + mg(h + 0.153) =0

5.83 = 0.425*9.8 (h + 0.153)

5.83 = 4.165(h + 0.153)

H = 1.399 - 0.153

H = 1.246m

(D).

If the release height was 6ho

H = 6* 1.246m = 7.476m

W(spring) = W(gravity)

½kx² = mg(7.476 + x)

Note: At maximum compression, the blocks would be at rest.

½Kx² = mg(h + x)

½ * 460 * x² = 0.425 * 9.8 * (7.476 + x)

230x² = 4.165 (7.476 + x)

230x² = 31.137 + 4.165x

230x² - 4.165x - 31.137 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation ( i would suggest you use formula method for easy navigation of the variables)

X = + 0.3771m or -0.3589m

But we can't have a negative compression value,

X = + 0.3771m

How can u tell matched forces act on objects?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:If an object's speed changes, or if it changes the direction it's moving in,

then there must be forces acting on it. There is no other way for any of

these things to happen.

Once in a while, there may be a group of forces (two or more) acting on

an object, and the group of forces may turn out to be "balanced".  When

that happens, the object's speed will remain constant, and ... if the speed

is not zero ... it will continue moving in a straight line.  In that case, it's not

possible to tell by looking at it whether there are any forces acting on it
