The new current will be 4I. The power dissipated by the resistor will increase by a factor of 16.

<h3>What is a resistor?</h3>
  • Using electrical resistance as a circuit element, a resistor is a passive electrical component with two terminals. In electrical circuits, resistors are used, among other things, to limit current flow, modify signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and terminate transmission lines.
  • As test loads for generators, power distribution systems, and motor controls, high-power resistors that can create many watts of heat rather than just electrical energy can be used.
  • Variable resistors can be used as sensors for force, heat, light, humidity, humidity, and chemical activity or for adjusting circuit components.
  • Electrical networks and electronic circuits frequently contain resistors, which are found everywhere in electronic equipment. Practical resistors are discrete components that come in a wide range of materials and forms.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

  • Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

        I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }

  • where Rint = r and RL = r
  • Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

       I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)

  • When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

       I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r}  (2)

  • We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

        \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}

  • The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 58.0N at the sur
kvasek [131]

Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg

B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg

C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N

Explanation:

The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below

W=mg

From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N

A) The mass of watermelon on earth is

m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg

B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.

You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.

C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as

W = mg

W = 5.91 x 9.8

= 10.697N.

Can someone help me ASAP
Phantasy [73]

Well I don't know.  Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.

A,  B,  C,  and D all have the same TOTAL length, but  A  has the most waves crammed into that same total length.

By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in  A  must be shorter than each wave in  B,  C,  or D.

The correct choice is <em> A </em>.  Looking at the picture did the trick !

A sled that has a mass of 8 kg is pulled at a 50 degree angle with a force of 20 N. The force of friction acting on the sled is
vitfil [10]

The acceleration of the sled will be 1.30 m/s². Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Given data;

m(mass of sled)=8 kg

Θ is the inclination of force= 50°

Force of friction,f=2.4 N.

The applied force at the given angle is resolved into the two-component as;

\rm F_h=F cos \theta \\\\ F_h= 20 cos 50 ^0 \\\\ F_h= 12.85 \ N

\rm F_v=F sin \theta \\\\  F_v=20 sin 50^0 \\\\   F_v=15.32 \ N

The net vertical force is zero;

\rm F_N=mg-Fsin50^0 \\\\ \rm F_N=8 \times 9.81 -15.32 \\\\ F_N=63.1 \ N \\\\

From Newton's second law the net force as;

\rm \sum F_{net}=ma \\\\ Fcos 60^0-f =ma \\\\ a=\frac{12.855-2.4}{8} \\\\a = 1.30 \ m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration of the sled will be 1.30 m/s².
