Answer:
150 inches (12.5 ft)
Explanation:
The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.
The following is the equation one needs to solve:

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft
In general, the quantity of heat energy, Q, required to raise a mass m kg of a substance with a specific heat capacity of <span>c </span>J/(kg °C), from temperature t1 °C to t2 °C is given by:
<span>Q </span>= <span>mc(t</span><span>2 </span><span>– t</span>1<span>) joules</span>
<span>So:</span>
(t2-t1) =Q / mc
<span>As we know:
Q = 500 J </span>
<span>m = 0.4 kg</span>
<span>c = 4180 J/Kg </span>°c
<span>We can take t1 to be 0</span>°c
t2 - 0 = 500 / ( 0.4 * 4180 )
t2 - 0 = 0.30°c
Answer:
B) Gets smaller
Explanation:
The difference of phase between current and voltage in a AC circuit is the phase angle and it depends on the value of Z ( circuit impedance)
Z = R + X where R is the resistive component and X the reactance component, which is due either to a presence of an inductor or a capacitor. In any case the total impedance depends on R the resistive, and the phase angle φ is:
tan⁻¹ φ = X/R
Have a look to a pure capactive circuit (we are talking about AC current) in this case current leads voltage by 90⁰. If we add a resistor in the circuit the current still will lead a voltage but in this condition the phase angle will be smaller,
If R increase, X/R decrease and tan⁻¹ φ also decrease
