Answer:

P = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h)+101.325

Explanation:

Given

h = height

P = Pressure

(h_1,P_1) = (0,101.325)

(h_2,P_2) = (1609.344 ,83.437 )

Required

Determine the linear equation for P in terms of h

First, we calculate the slope/rate (m);

The following formula is used:

m = \frac{P_2 - P_1}{h_2 - h_1}

Substitute values for P's and h's

m = \frac{83.347 - 101.325}{1609.344- 0}

m = \frac{-17.978}{1609.344}

m = -\frac{17.978}{1609.344}

Multiply by 1000/1000

m = -\frac{17.978 * 1000}{1609.344*1000}

m = -\frac{17978}{1609344}

The equation is then calculated using:

P - P_1 = m(h - h_1)

Substitute values for m, h1 and P1

P - P_1 = m(h - h_1)

P - 101.325 = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h - 0)

P - 101.325 = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h)

Make P the subject

P = -\frac{17978}{1609344}(h)+101.325

<em>The above is the required linear equation</em>

Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same.
Sveta_85 [38]
Well, to be broken down, resistance is the opposition that a substance offers to the flow of an electric current.

What would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased, but the resistance stayed the same would be this:
The current, being directly proportional to the voltage, would increase, causing the light bulb to increase I'm brilliance, which means: it would simply become brighter.

Hope I helped you out!

An object has a height of 0.066 m and is held 0.210 m in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 0.140 m. (Include the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of object, h = 0.066 m

Object distance from the lens, u = 0.210 m (negative)

Focal length of the converging lens, f = 0.14 m

If v is the image distance from the lens, we can find it using lens formula as follows :

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{0.14 }+\dfrac{1}{(-0.21)}\\\\v=0.42\ m

(a) Magnification,

m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{0.42}{(-0.21)}\\\\m=-2

(b) Magnification, m=\dfrac{h'}{h}

h' is image height

-2=\dfrac{h'}{0.066}\\\\h'=-2\times 0.066\\\\h'=-0.132\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

male lions and human sprinters can both accelerate at about 10.0 m/s2. if a typical lion weighs 170 kg and a typical sprinter we
Rasek [7]

The difference in the force exerted by the ground during a race between these two species is 259.25

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Forces are influences that can change the movement of an object. A force can change the velocity of an object with mass, i.e. accelerate it. Forces can also be described intuitively by pushing or pulling. A force has both magnitude and direction and is a vector quantity.

Force exerted by the lion:

Normal force = mg

170 = m × 9.8

m = 17.34 kg

Forward force = ma

= 17.34 × 10.0

= 173.4 N

Total force = Normal force + Forward force

Total force = 170 + 173.4

= 343.4 N

Force exerted by the man:

Normal force = mg

75 = m × 9.8

m = 7.65 kg

Forward force = ma

= 7.65 × 10.0

= 76.5 N

Total force = Normal force + Forward force

Total force = 7.65 + 76.5

= 84.15 N

The difference in the forces exerted by these species is:

343.4 N - 76.5 N = 259.25 N
