Suppose that the voltage across the resistor is held constant at 40 volts. If the resistance is steadily decreasing at a rate of

0.2 ohms per second, at what rate is the current changing at the moment that the resistor reaches 5 ohms?

Answer:

The current is increasing at a rate of 0.32 ampere per second.

Explanation:

The voltage of the resistor is modelled after Ohm's Law, which states that voltage is directly proportional to current:

V = i\cdot R (1)

Where:

V - Voltage, measured in volts.

i - Current, measured in amperes.

R - Resistance, measured in ohms.

An expression for the rate of change in voltage is found by Differential Calculus:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{di}{dt}\cdot R +i\cdot \frac{dR}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{di}{dt}\cdot R + \frac{V}{R}\cdot \frac{dR}{dt} (2)

Where:

\frac{dV}{dt} - Rate of change in voltage, measured in volts per second.

\frac{di}{dt} - Rate of change in current, measured in amperes per second.

\frac{dR}{dt} - Rate of change in resistance, measured in ohms per second.

If we know that \frac{dV}{dt} = 0\,\frac{V}{s}, R = 5\,\Omega, V = 40\,\Omega and \frac{dR}{dt} = -0.2\,\frac{\Omega}{s}, then the rate of change in current is:

5\cdot \frac{di}{dt}-1.6 = 0 (3)

\frac{di}{dt} = 0.32\,\frac{A}{s}

The current is increasing at a rate of 0.32 ampere per second.

The magnitude of a vector can never be less than the magnitude of one of its components. Group of answer choices True False
pogonyaev

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As the formula for magnitude of a vector v and their components v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4,..., v_n is

v^2 = v_1^2 + v_2^2 + ... +v_n^2

Since v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2 \geq 0, this means the sum of them, v^2, is always greater or equal to v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 19 cm apart. The sound
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

a.96cm

b.77cm

Explanation:

Highest intensity,d_1=19cm

Lowest intensity,d_2=29cm

d_1+d_2=19+29=48cm  

48cm is the distance for half-wave, wavelength =48cm*2=96cm

b. From a, above we know that half-wavelength is 48cm

Also, the distance of known  maximum is 29cm

Next maximum is calculated as:

Next \m\aximum=Last \ Maximum+ \ 0.5Wavelength\\=29cm+48cm\\=77cm

The next maximum will occur at 77cm
