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

A toaster draws electric current (electrical energy) from a wall outlet and converts these moving electric charges into heat (thermal energy) in the filaments that turn red hot to cook your toast. ... As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).

<span>In the article “Who Shaped our Behaviors? Peers or Parents?”, Judy Rich Harris suggests that C. peers are the most influential in forming children's personalities.
When a child is young, it is very impressionable and will follow other people's influence easily. Usually, that influence comes from other kids who can do something, and then your child will want to do the same thing. So peers are crucial when forming a personality at such a young age.</span>

A block of mass M slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle (theta) with the horizontal. The normal reaction force e
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Explanation:

See attached for a sketch.

From the attachment.

.

N = normal reaction force on block

W = weight of the block

theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal

From the sketch, we can see that

N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy

N = Wy

And

Wy = Wcos(theta)

Wx = Wsin(theta)

Then,

N = Wy = Wcos(theta)

But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg

N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)
