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.

How fast would you have to travel on the surface of earth at the equator to keep up with the sun (that is, so that the sun would
professor190 [17]

Answer: 1037 miles per hour

Explanation: In order to see the sun in the same position in the sky, you would have to travel against the speed of rotation of the earth, because this is what causes the sun to appear in a constantly changing position.

Because of this, we will have to calculate the speed of rotation of the earth. To get started, we must know the circumference of the earth. Assuming the circumference formula for a sphere,

Circumference=2\pi R

Where R is the radius of the earth, we find that the perimeter of the earth is approximately 24881 miles. The equation to calculate speed is given by

v=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Because the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, we have to find the speed of rotation as the perimeter of the earth divided by 24 hours.

The obtained result is 1037 miles per hour.

You would have to travel at 1037 miles per hour in the direction opposite to the direction the rotation is ocurring in.

A bird sits on top of a 639 m tall tower. If it's gravitational potential energy up there is 2033 J, what is its mass?
iris [78.8K]

The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

       \text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

       m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}

So, finally we get the bird's mass as,

            m of bird = 0.32 kg
