Explanation:

in my opinion I'd say it's gravity because it's making the book stay in it's one and only position pulling the book at the center of the desk

A person wants to determine the spring constant of an exercise stretch cord. He pulls the cord with a force probe that exerts a

Burka [1]

Answer:

350 N/m

Explanation:

If we are assuming the stretch does not exceed the elastic range of the material, then by Hooke's law the spring constant of the cord is simply the ratio between the force 70N acting on the cord to stretch 20cm or 0.2m

k = 70 / 0.2 = 350 N/m

The spring constant is 350 N/m

The power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance. If the power is 2,200 watts when the resistance is 25 ohm

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The value of resistance when power is 1100 watts = $R_{2}$ = 50 ohms

Explanation:

Power $P_{1}$ = 2200 Watts

Resistance $R_{1}$ = 25 ohms

Power $P_{2}$ = 1100 Watts

Resistance $R_{2}$ = we have to calculate

Given that the power in an electric circuit varies inversely with the resistance

⇒ P ∝ $\frac{1}{R}$

⇒ $\frac{P_{2} }{P_{1} }$ = $\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }$

⇒ $\frac{1100}{2200}$ = $\frac{25}{R_{2} }$

⇒ $R_{2}$ = 50 ohms

This is the value of resistance when power is 1100 watts.
