When a resistor is connected to a 12-V source, it draws a 185-mA current. The same resistor connected to a 90-V source draws a 1

.25-A current. (a) Is the resistor ohmic? Justify your answer mathematically. (b) What is the rate of Joule heating in this resistor in both cases?

Answer:

The resistor is not Ohmic

Explanation:

In the first case, from ohm's law: V=IR

R=V/I= 12/0.185=64.9 ohm

In the second case:

R=V/I= 90/1.25= 72ohm

The relationship between voltage and current is linear according to ohms law but that is not the case here.

Joule heating = I^2R

For case1: (0.185)^2 × 64.9 = 2.2W

For case2: (1.25)^2 ×72 =112.5W

Answer:

Explanation:

Ohm's law is define by the formula

V = IR where I is current in A, R is resistance in ohms

to calculate the resistance we use the formula above

I = 185 mA / 1000 = 0.185 A

case 1, R = V / I = 12 V / 0.185 A = 64.86 ohms

case 2, R = V / I = 90 / 1.25 A = 72 ohms

a) the resistor is not ohmic since there is no linear relationship between R and V ( as voltage increases, resistance ought to also increase)

b) rate of Joule heating in the case 1, P, power = IV = 0.185 A × 12 = 2.22 W

case 2, P = IV = 1.25 A × 90 V = 112.5 W

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
ki77a [65]
To answer that question, we don't care what the highest and lowest
levels of the wave are, or how far apart they are.  We only need to be
able to identify the highest point on the wave, and keep track of how
often those pass by us.

You said it takes 4 seconds for a complete wave to pass by.
Through the sheer power of intellect, I'm able to take that information
and calculate that  1/4  of the wave passes by in 1 second.

There's your frequency . . .  1/4 per second, or  0.25 Hz.
