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

Which explanation BEST supports Newton's second law of motion which states that force = mass x acceleration?
GaryK [48]
The answer is C. F=ma basically says that force is a function of mass multiplied by acceleration. The first two answers don’t make sense because there’s no necessary relationship between mass and acceleration. And for the last two, the higher the mass, the higher the force needed, therefore C is the correct answer.

What is Planck’s law?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The wavelength of the emitted radiation is inversely proportional to its frequency, or λ = c/ν. The value of Planck's constant is defined as 6.62607015 × 10−34 joule∙second.

Explanation:

Planck's quantum theory. According to Planck's quantum theory, Different atoms and molecules can emit or absorb energy in discrete quantities only. The smallest amount of energy that can be emitted or absorbed in the form of electromagnetic radiation is known as quantum.

if the separation distance between the moon and the planet is increased by a factor of 4 then the force gravitational is
erastova [34]

Answer:

Fg = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2

The gravitational force is Fg/16

Explanation:

Fg = (G * m1 * m2) / (4r)^2

Fg = (G * m1 * m2) / 16r

Therefore,

Fg / 16
