Electric power is defined by the equation P= VI, where P stands for power, V stands for voltage, and I stands for current. Using Ohm's law, V = IR, we
can substitute this for voltage in the original equation for power to write the equation for electric power in terms of current: P =I°R. What is the equation

- I believe the solution to the problem at this url is incorrect and that the problem requires integration. I asked this problem once before and got a very different answer (64 gallons versus 11 gallons as provided in this answer). The previous solution was much more involved but I had a hard time following the solution so I asked the question again. I would like this problem solved by a different expert please. https://www.bartleby.com/questions-and-answers/5.-oil-flows-into-a-tank-according-to-the-rate-ft11-and-at-the-same-time-empties-out-at-the-rate-et-/cdf8b9dc-0b1c-4bfc-bb53-ad200f80692barrow_forward8.36 grams of a mystery substance of food with a molar mass of 149.36 g/mol is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The water in the bomb calorimeter absorbs 105,961 Joules from the burning of the substance. Calculate the heat of combustion of the mystery substance in kJ/mol. (Please input your answer as a negative number.) (DO NOT PUT UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER.) Assume that all of the heat lost by the substance is transferred to the water and no heat is lost to the surroundings.arrow_forwardSuppose you use 57 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity at $0.35 per kWH, 91 kWh at $0.26 per kWh, and 82 kWH at $0.24 per kWh.

- You live 3.8 miles from school. How many feet away from school do you live?arrow_forwardDensity Here is a simple problem. Then we'll do one that requires a little more thought. The shape of a city is roughly a circle with a radius of 5 miles. If the population density for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city? 11111 Now here's a problem that will stretch your problem solving skills. This time the city is also in the shape of a circle, but the population density is higher towards the center of the city and lower towards the outskirts. The numbers in the diagram represent miles. The population density is 10,000 people per square mile in the inner circle. In the first ring out from the center the density is 8,000 people per square mile, the second ring out it's 6,000, in the third ring out it's 4,000 and in the largest ring it's only 2,000 people per square mile. Finally, here is a three dimensional problem. Density is defined as weight per unit of volume.
