If the resistance doubles while the voltage stays the same, what effect will that have on the power?

1 answer:

4 0

The best formula to use for this question is

Power = (voltage)² / R

So Original power = (voltage)² / (original R)
and
New power = (same voltage)² / (2 x original R)

That's equal to (1/2) (voltage)² / (original R)

which is equal to (1/2) (original power) .

So I guess the power decreases by half, and that's choice-B .

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?

Galina-37 [17]

Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m

Two points charges are brought closer together,increasing the force between them by a factor of 25.By what factor wa their separ

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2

Explanation:

The Coulomb's force between two charges is given by;

$F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \\\\let \ kq^2 \ be \ constant\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{F_2} \\\\increasing \ the \ force \ between \ them \ by \ factor \ of \ 25\\\\(F_2 = 25F_1)\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{F_1r_1^2}{25F_1}\\\\r_2^2 = \frac{r_1^2}{25}\\\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^2}{25} }\\\\ r_2 = \frac{r_1}{5}$

r₂ = 0.2r₁

Therefore, the separation between the charges was decreased by a factor of 0.2.

If a ball is thrown alt 96 m/s, and it travels 3 seconds, what is the total distance the ball travelec

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 288 m

Explanation: 288 m is the correct answer because the question states that the ball is thrown at 96 m every second, and our question tells us that the ball travels 3 seconds. This means we have to multiply 96 x 3 = 288 m.
