Electrical systems are governed by Ohm’s law, which states that V = IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the r

esistance. If the current in an electrical system is decreasing at a rate of 8 amps per second while the voltage remains constant at 24 volts, at what rate is the resistance increasing (in ohms per second) when the current is 56 amps?

Answer:

\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=0.06\Omega

Explanation:

Since R(t)=\frac{V}{I(t)}, we calculate the resistance rate by deriving this formula with respect to time:

\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{V}{I(t)})=V\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{1}{I(t)})

Deriving what is left (remember that (\frac{1}{f(x)})'=-\frac{1}{f(x)^2}f'(x)):

\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{1}{I(t)})=-\frac{1}{I(t)^2}\frac{dI(t)}{dt}

So we have:

\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=-\frac{V}{I(t)^2}\frac{dI(t)}{dt}

Which for our values is (the rate of <em>I(t)</em> is decreasing so we put a negative sign):

\frac{dR(t)}{dt}=-\frac{24V}{(56A)^2}(-8A/s)=0.06\Omega

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from
UNO [17]
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

alexandr402 [8]
Red shift is one piece of observational evidence which supports the big bang theory. The fact that galaxies are moving away from us means that the universe was once much smaller, supporting the big bang theory which states that all the matter in the universe once occupied a single point with infinite density.

A small airplane has to reach a speed if 27.8 m/s to takeoff. It can accelerate at 2.00 m/s^2. What is the minimal length of run
pickupchik [31]
Using the constant acceleration formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as, we can figure out that it would take a distance of 193.21m to reach 27.8m/s
