What is the approximate increase in size from a 1 w to a 2w carbon resistor?

Since the 2-watt jobber has to dissipate twice as much power as the smaller unit I would expect it to have double the surface area. So if they are the usual cylindrical striped resistors then the larger one could have either double the length or else 1.4 times the radius of the smaller one.

Two vectors are presented as a=3.0i +5.0j and b=2.0i+4.0j find (a) a x b, ab (c) (a+b)b and (d) the component of a along the dir
Svet_ta [14]
Let's ask this question step by step:
 Part A) 
 a x b = (3.0i + 5.0j) x (2.0i + 4.0j) = (12-10) k = 2k
 ab = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
 Part (c)
 (a + b) b = [(3.0i + 5.0j) + (2.0i + 4.0j)]. (2.0i + 4.0j)
 (a + b) b = (5.0i + 9.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j)
 (a + b) b = 10 + 36
 (a + b) b = 46
 Part (d)
 comp (ba) = (a.b) / lbl
 a.b = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
 lbl = root ((2.0) ^ 2 + (4.0) ^ 2) = root (20)
 comp (ba) = 26 / root (20)

A firecracker is thrown downward from a height of 2.75m above the ground, with a speed of 3.15m/s. Ignore air resistance, determ
3241004551 [841]

Here in this question as we can see there is no air friction so we can use the principle of energy conservation

PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

mgh_1 + \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = mgh_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

now here we know that

h_1 = 2.75 m

v_i = 0

v_f = 5.23 m/s

now plug in all values in above equation

mg*2.75 + 0 = mgh + \frac{1}{2}m(5.23)^2

divide whole equation by mass "m"

9.8*2.75 = 9.8*h + \frac{1}{2}*27.35

9.8*h = 13.27

h = 1.35 m

so height of the ball from ground will be 1.35 m

A 1.0 kg block is attached to an unstretched
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Change in  potential energy of the block-spring-Earth

system between Figure 1 and Figure 2 = 1 Nm.

Explanation:

Here, spring constant, k  = 50 N/m.

given block comes down eventually 0.2 m below.

here, g = 10 m/s.

let block be at a height h above the ground in figure 1.

⇒In figure 2, potential energy of the block-spring-Earth

system = m×g×(h - 0.2) + 1/2× k × x². where, x = change in spring length.

⇒ Change in  potential energy of the block-spring-Earth

system between Figure 1 and Figure 2 = (m×g×(h - 0.2)) - (1/2× k × x²)

              =  (1×10×0.2) - (1/2×50×0.2×0.2) = 1 Nm.

A device experiences a voltage drop of 5.0 V across it while a current of 10.0 mA flows through it. How much power does it dissi
Kipish [7]

Answer:

0.05 W

Explanation:

The power dissipated by a device can be written as

P=VI

where

P is the power dissipated

V is the voltage drop on the device

I is the current flowing through the device

In this problem, we have

V = 5.0 V is the voltage drop across the device

I = 10.0 mA = 0.01 A is the current through it

By applying the formula, we find the power dissipated:

P=(5.0 V)(0.01 A)=0.05 W
