Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

MatroZZZ [7]

Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, lets applicate second law of Newton:

                                                    \boxed{F=ma}

                                                 <u>Δ   Being   Δ</u>

                                                F = Force = 4 N

                                              m = mass = 36 kg

                                             a = Aceleration = ?

⇒ Let's replace according the formula:

\boxed{4\ N = 36\ kg * \textbf{a}}

⇒ Clear acceleration and resolve it:

\boxed{\textbf{a}=0,111\ m/s^{2}}}

Result:

The aceleration is of <u>0,111 meters per second squared (m/s²)</u>

Good Luck!!

When the voltage across a steady resistance is doubled, the current?
natima [27]

I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.

<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know V and I use formula P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>

The next question is what I'm not sure about:

Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).

What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W

But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."

So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.

P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W
