Answer:

maximum power = 300 W

Explanation:

Ohm's law: Ohm's law state that the current flowing through a metallic conductor, is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across its end. mathematically it is expressed as,

V = IR............. Equation 1

Where V = potential difference, I = current, R = Resistance of the conductor.

If the power flowing through is gives as

W = 120I - 12I² ..................... Equation 2

To get the maximum power we differentiate of equation 2  and equate to zero

dW/dt = 0

120 - 24l = 0........................... equation 3

Making I the subject of the equation,

I = 120/24 = 5 A.

Suubstituting the value of I into Equation 2

W = 120 (5) - 12(5)²

W = 600 - 300

W = 300 W.

Therefore maximum power = 300 W

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Explanation:

given,

charge = -5.0 μC

Electric force, F = 11 i^ N

force would a proton experience = ?

we know

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

11\hat{i} = -5 \times 10^{-6} \vec{E}

\vec{E} =-2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}

we know charge of proton is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

using formula

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

\vec{F}= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times -2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}

\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Force experienced by the photon in the same field is equal to \vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

HURRY Which change is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C.  changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

Explanation:

Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion)  creating chain reactions of radiant energy.  Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.

Or think of the atom bomb.  Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions.  The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.

sergey [27]

Answer:

= 287kW

Explanation:

Knowing the enthalpy data, we have to

h1=239.16kJ/kg\\h2=296.81kJ/kg

So,

E_i_n_p_u_t=mh_1

Here,

m=mass flow rate

h= Enthalpy of refrigerant at the compressor

Replacing

= 1.2 × 239.16

= 287kW
