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

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

We know that

E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}

h= plank's constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength of the incident light

so, in order to have sufficient energy for for the emission of electron, the incident's radiation must have λ small enough.

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

Match the environmental remedlation method to Its description.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1. Soil vapor extraction  - 3

2. Air sparging  - 1

3. bioventing  - 4

4. Natural attenuation -2

Explanation:

Soil vapor extraction - Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is the method in which  perforated pipes are used into the soil and air is injected through the pipes. Contamination in soil then removed through perforation in pipes and disposed into an off-gas treatment unit.

Air sparging  - In air sparging process air is injected in bubble form that remediates groundwater by volatilizing contaminants and enhancing biodegradation.

Bioventing  - In bioinventing process low air flow rates are used that provide enough oxygen to sustain microbial activity in the soil and remove other contamination form the soil.

Natural attenuation - Natural attenuation is a natural process of  environmental remediation which reduce the toxicity, mass, or concentration of contaminants in soil without human intervention.

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m
Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are v_f\ and\ v_s. The kinetic energies of father and son are K_f\ and\ K_s. The mass of father and son are  m_f\ and\ m_s

(a) According to given conditions, K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s

And m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2.............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}

v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s

(b) Put the value of v_f in equation (3) as :

v_s=7.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
