The heat generated by a stove element varies directly as the square of the voltage and inversely as the resistance. If the volta

ge increases by a factor of 10​, what needs to be done to quadruple the amount of heat​ generated?

Answer:

The resistance needs to be increased by a factor of 25 to quadruple the amount of heat generated

Explanation:

Let H be the heat generated by the stove element, V its voltage and R its resistance.

So, H ∝ V²/R

H = kV²/R

HR/V² = k

H₁R₁/V₁² = H₂R₂/V₂²

If H₂ = 4H₁ and V₂ = 10V₁

H₁R₁/V₁² = 4H₁R₂/(10V₁)²

H₁R₁/V₁² = 4H₁R₂/100V₁²

R₁ = R₂/25

R₂ = 25R₁

The resistance needs to be increased by a factor of 25 to quadruple the amount of heat generated.

Two hicers are 13 miles apart and walking toward each other. They meet in 2 hours. Find the rate of each hiker if one hiker walk
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let r be the rate of the slower walker in mph

[r + (r + 1.7)](2) = 13

    (2r + 1.7)(2) = 13

         4r + 3.4 = 13

                  4r = 9.6

                    r = 2.4 mph

            r + 1.7 = 4.1 mph

A stone is thrown from the top of a building 30m high. If it strikes the ground at an angle 45, with what speed was it thrown?
sasho [114]

Answer:

24.2 m/s

Explanation:

The stone strikes the ground at an angle of 45 degrees: this means that its vertical velocity is equal (in magnitude) to its horizontal velocity, in fact:

tan \theta = \frac{|v_y|}{v_x}\\tan 45^{\circ} = 1 \rightarrow |v_y| = v_x

The motion along the vertical direction is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the final vertical velocity using the following suvat equation

v_y^2 -u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the final vertical velocity

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the stone is thrown horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (we take downward as positive direction)

s = 30 m is the vertical displacement

Solving for vy,

v_y = \sqrt{u_y^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(30)}=24.2 m/s

This means that the horizontal velocity is also 24.2 m/s: and since the horizontal velocity is constant during the whole motion (there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction), this means that the stone was thrown exactly at 24.2 m/s.
