Suppose that the voltage is reduced by 10 percent (to 90 V). By what percentage is the power reduced

Physics

Answer:

percent decrease in power  = 20 % .

Explanation:

Power P = v² / R where v is voltage and R is resistance which is constant .

taking log on both sides

log P = 2 log v - log R

differentiating on both sides

dP/P = 2 dv/v

-dP/P x 100 = 2 x -dv/v x 100

percent decrease in power = 2 x percent decrease in v ( voltage )

percent decrease in power = 2 x 10 = 20 %

You illuminate the grating in a spectrometer at normal incidence θi=0° with a beam of light that has a wavelength of 6562.8 Å. T
monitta

Answer:

a) θ₁ = 23.14 ° , b) θ₂ = 51.81 °

Explanation:

An address network is described by the expression

     d sin θ = m λ

Where is the distance between lines, λ is the wavelength and m is the order of the spectrum

The distance between one lines, we can find used a rule of proportions

     d = 1/600

     d = 1.67 10⁻³ mm

    d = 1-67 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate the angle

    sin θ = m λ / d

    θ  = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

First order

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (1 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

    θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (3.93 10⁻¹)

    θ₁ = 23.14 °

Second order

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (2 6.5628 10⁻⁷ / 1.67 10⁻⁶)

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (0.786)

     θ₂ = 51.81 °

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs

A spacecraft in outer space increases velocity by firing its rockets. How can hot gases escaping from its rockets change the vel
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Momentum is conserved.

Explanation:

-Momentum is conserved.

-By Newton's third law (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.)-the change in momentum of gases in one direction must be balanced by an equal change in momentum of the spacecraft in the opposite direction.
