As a result of doubled resistance, current will be halved.

As we know, Ohm's law inversely relates current and resistance to each other. The equation is as follows -

V = I*R, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

As the question mentions no change in any other parameter, let's assume I₁ and I₂ be initial and final current and R₁ and R₂ initial and final resistance.

So, R₂ will be 2R₁ as it is doubled.

Now, equating the values and finding out the value of final current.

I₁R₁ =  I₂R₂

Keep the value of R₂

I₁R₁ =  I₂2R₁

Cancelling R₁ as it is common on both sides of equation.

So, we get - I₁ =  2I₂

I₂ = I₁/2

Thus, as can be seen above, final current will be half of initial current.

How do you know that waves sent from the sun to earth are not mechanical waves? Explain
Anna71 [15]
Mechanical waves require matter to travel medium. If there is no substance or matter to travel through, mechanical waves cannot propagate.

Since space is mostly vacuum, there is no medium for waves to travel through: waves sent by the sun (electromagnetic waves) are not mechanical waves

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.93 m and mass 165 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.691 rev/s . A 62.4 kg pe
vekshin1

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is related to rotational motion . So we shall find out rotational kinetic energy .

K E = 1/2 x I ω²

ω is the final angular velocity

Moment of inertial of the disk

I ₁ = 1/2 m r²

= .5 x 165 x 2.93²

= 708.25 kgm²

Moment of inertial of the person

I₂ = mr²

= 62.5 x 2.93²

= 536.55 kgm²

ω₂ = v / R

= 3.11 / 2.93 rad /s

At the time of jumping , law of conservation of angular momentum will apply

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ω₂ =  (I₁  + I₂)ω

708.25 x0.691 + 536.55 x ( 3.11 / 2.93 ) = ( 708.25 + 536.55 ) ω

ω = 0  .85 rad/ s

K E = 1/2 x I ω²

= .5 x ( 708.25 + 536.55 ) ( .85 )²
