Answer:

change the

time
distance
force.

Explanation:

P = W/time

W = F*d

You have control over how fast you go up the stairs.

You also have control over how far up the stairs you go.

Therefore the answer is

time
distance

If you don't like distance as an answer, you can carry something up the stairs -- anything that increases F will do.

Inga [223]

Answer: Find the answer in the explanation

Explanation: Given the Roman numeral and the representation

I. part of a coal-fired power plant

II. part of a nuclear power plant

III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant

a.) Boiler : I

b.) Combustion chamber: I

c.) Condenser: I

d.) Control rod: II

e.) Generator: III

f.) Turbine: III

Toward the end processes part of both coal fire and nuclear power, they both make use of turbine and generator to generate electricity.

The North American Plate is moving west at a rate of approximately 20 mm/yr. How long will it take for New York to move 10° long

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

55000000 years

Explanation:

Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity) = 20 mm/yr

Degrees New York has to move = 10° west

New York's longitude = 110 km/°

Distance of New York = 110×10 = 1100 km

= 1100×10⁶ mm

$\text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac {\text {Distance of New York}}{\text {Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity)}}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac{1100\times 10^6}{20}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=55\times 10^6\ years$

∴ Time taken by New York to move 10° west is 55000000 years

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.

The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!

it's a shortcut.

Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:

Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m

Total distance = 40 m!

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a lightbulb if the voltage increase but the resistance stay the same?

artcher [175]

The first question is how much of a voltage increase are we looking at. If it has a 110 voltage rating and you put it across a 220 source, you will see one flash and then the bulb is no more. Nothing will revive it.

If it is rated at 110 and you put 130 across it, there's no problem but the bulb will burn out sooner than it would if you just put 110 across it.

So you raise the voltage and the resistance stays the same, the current will increase. That's why it will burn out sooner.

V = I * R

The equation is a direct variation. If the voltage goes up the current goes up. If the voltage goes down, the current goes down providing that the resistance stays the same in both cases.

The second question is what is resistance? Resistance in Electricity is the ability of an electric current to go in one direction freeing up as many electrons as it can. The MORE free electrons, the lower the resistance. The FEWER free electrons the higher the resistance.

Here' the kicker. Ready? More and Less are probably the two most important words in beginning science.

The More the resistance, the Less the current flow. That's a really important consideration in battery drain in a watch (or modern day calculator). The More the Battery Drain, the Less time it will last.

Always be careful when more and Less are around.
