A resistor is connected to a battery with negligible internal resistance. If you replace the resistor with one that has triple the resistance, by what factor does the power dissipated in the circuit changea. 0.50
b. 0.25
c. 4.0
d. 2.0

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

What is the most useful equation for electric power?

Can anybody me with this? ? (picture included.)
