Answer:

<h3>This shows that the power dissipated by the circuit element is four times its original power if the current is doubled.</h3>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the power expended in a circuit is P =  I²R... 1

i is the current (in amperes)

R is the resistance (in ohms)

If  a circuit element maintains a constant resistance and the current through the circuit element is doubled, then new current I₂ = 2I

New power dissipated P₂ = (I₂)²R

P₂ = (2I)²R

P₂ = 4I²R ... 2

Dividing equation 2 by 1 will give;

P₂/P = 4I²R/I²R

P₂/P = 4

P₂ = 4P

This shows that the power dissipated by the circuit element is four times its original power if the current is doubled.

A 1200.0-kg car is traveling at 19m/s. The driver suddenly slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic f
Alja [10]
<h2>Answer</h2>

option D)

2.4 seconds

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given in the question,

mass of car = 1200kg

speed of car = 19m/s

Force due to direction of travel

F = ma

  = 12000(a)

Force to due frictional force in reverse direction

-F = mg(friction coefficient)

   = -12000(9.81)(0.8)

<h2>-mg(friction coefficient) = ma  </h2>

(cancelling mass from both side of equation)

g(0.8) = a

(9.81)(0.8) = a

a = 7.848 m/s²

<h2>Use Newton Law of motion</h2><h3>vf - vo = a • t</h3>

where vf = final velocity

          vo = initial velocity

          a = acceleration

           t = time

0 - 19 = 7.8(t)

t = 19/7.8

  = 2.436 s

  ≈ 2.4s
