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 .

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

The figure in Figure 1 shows two single-slit diffraction patterns. The distance between the slit and the viewing screen is the s

V125BC [204]

Answer:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2."

Explanation:

The full question has not been provided, so I just copied this into the web and found this answer and explanation on quizlet:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2.

D sin θ = m λ

if the wavelengths are the same, then if the angle is smaller, the slit width must be larger. The top photo shows a pattern that is more closely spaced. That means the angle is smaller. The slit width must be larger."

This answer/explanation should be correct, as we are looking at bright fringes and the formula being used corresponds to the parameters of the question.

Hope this helps!

If this energy were used to vaporize water at 100.0 ∘C, how much water (in liters) could be vaporized? The enthalpy of vaporizat

Zanzabum

Answer:

0.429 L of water

Explanation:

First to all, you are not putting the value of the energy given to vaporize water, so, to explain better this problem, I will assume a value of energy that I took in a similar exercise before, which is 970 kJ.

Now, assuming that the water density is 1 g/mL, this is the same as saying that 1 g of water = 1 mL of water

If this is true, then, we can assume that 1 kg of water = 1 L of water.

Knowing this, we have to use the expression to get energy which is:

Q = m * ΔH

Solving for m:

m = Q / ΔH

Now "m" is the mass, but in this case, the mass of water is the same as the volume, so it's not neccesary to do a unit conversion.

Before we begin with the calculation, we need to put the enthalpy of vaporization in the correct units, which would be in grams. To do that, we need the molar mass of water:

MM = 18 g/mol

The enthalpy in mass:

ΔH = 40.7 kJ/mol / 18 g/mol = 2.261 kJ/g

Finally, solving for m:

m = 970 / 2.261 = 429 g

Converting this into volume:

429 g = 429 mL

429 / 1000 = 0.429 L of water
