The ice melts because Thermal energy from Jan’s hand is transferred to the ice.

<h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

Thermal energy is the energy due to temperature difference.

Thermal energy flows from hotter to colder bodies.

The ice Jan is holding melts because heat is transferred from his hands t the ice.

In conclusion, thermal energy flow causes melting.

Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t
sweet [91]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of u_2=1\ m/s

combined velocity of the two is v=0.25\ m/s

Suppose the masses of the clouds be m_1,m_2

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3

How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half
beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

I=\frac{V}{R}

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: V'=\frac{V}{2}

So, the new current will be

I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.
