wo different electrical devices have the same power consumption, but one (device 1) is meant to be operated on 127 V AC and the

other (device 2) on 230 V AC. (a) What is the ratio of their resistances? R2 R1 = (b) What is the ratio of their currents? I2 I1 = (c) Assuming its resistance is unaffected, by what factor will the power increase if a 127 V AC device (device 1) is connected to 230 V AC?

Answer:

a) R₂/R₁ = 0.3049

b) I₂ / I₁ = 1.81

c) (230)² / ( 127)² = 3.28

Explanation:

By definition the power consumption is:

P = I²*R ⇒ as I = V/R I² = (V/R)² and P = (V²/R²)*R

P = V²/R

P = power consumtion

I = current

R = is the resistor

Case Device 1 Voltage 127 (V)

P₁ = V₁² /R₁ P₁ = (127)²/ R₁

Case Device 2 Voltage 230 (V)

P₂ = ( 230)²/ R₂

As P₁ = P₂ (127)²/R₁ = (230)²/R₂

(127)²/(230)² = R₂/R₁

a) R₂/R₁ = 0.3049

b) P₁ = I₁²*R₁ P₂ = I₂²*R₂

I₂² *R₂ = I₁²*R₁

I₂² / I₁² = R₁/R₂

I₂² / I₁² = 1/ 0.3049

I₂² / I₁² = 3.2797

√ (I₂² / I₁² ) = √3.2797

b) I₂ / I₁ = 1.81

c) P₁ = V₁*I₁ ⇒ P₁ = V₁²/R₁ if we "use" the device in 230 (V)

P₁´ = V₂² / R₁

P₁ = (127)²/R₁ and P₁´ = (230)²/ R₁

Then the increasing factor is:

c) (230)² / ( 127)² = 3.28

If the angular frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum acceleration

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

When we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration $(a_{max})$ will changes by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given the angular frequency $(\omega)$ of the simple harmonic oscillator is doubled.

We need to find the change in the maximum acceleration of the oscillator.

$a_{max}=A\omega^2$

Now, according to the problem, the angular frequency $(\omega)$ got doubled.

Let us plug $\omega=2\times \omega$ . Then the maximum acceleration will be $a_{max'}$

$a_{max}=A\omega^2$

$a_{max'}=A(2\times \omega)^2\\a_{max'}=A\times 4\omega\\a_{max'}=4A\omega$

$a_{max'}=4a_{max}$

We can see, when we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration will changes by a factor of 4.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.3 seconds

Explanation:

time in air = 2(v)/g

2(100sin(37))/9.8

=12.28 seconds

A student calculates the density of a copper cube to be 4.15 g/cm . If the accepted value is 8.64 g/cm the percentage error in h

Helen [10]

The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

<h3>What is percentage error?</h3>

This is the ratio of the error to the actual measurement, expressed in percentage.

To calculate the percentage error of the student, we use the formula below.

Formula:

Error(%) = (calculated value-accepted value)100/(accepted............. Equation 1

From the question,

Given:

Calculated value = 4.15 g/cm
accepted value = 8.64 g/cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

Error(%) = (4.15-8.64)100/8.64
Error(%) = -4.49(100)/8.64
Error(%) = -449/8.64
Error(%) = -51.97 %

Hence, The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

A physics professor is pushed up a ramp inclined upward at 30.0° above the horizontal as she sits in her desk chair, which slide

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

V = 3.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the professor m = 85.0 kg

Angle of the ramp θ = 30.0°

Length travelled L = 2.50 m

Force applied F = 600 N

Initial Speed u = 2.00 m/s

Solution

Work = Change in kinetic energy

$F_{net}d = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} = v^{2} -u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} +u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2(600cos30 - 85\times 9.8 \times sin30) \times 2.5 }{85} +2.00^{2}\\ v^{2} = 10.066\\v = 3..17m/s$
