Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

R1 = 2

R2 = 4

R = 2*4 / (2 + 4)

R = 8 / 6

R = 1.3333

Current R1

R1 = 2 ohms

V = 12 volts

I = ?

V = I * R

12  = I * 2

12/2 = I

I = 6 amperes.

Current R2

V = 12 volts

R = 4 ohms

I = ?

V = I * R

12 = I * 4

12/4 = I

I = 3 amps

Increasing the two objects will cause the gravitational force between the objects to decrease.
ELEN [110]
This statement is false. Increasing the two objects' mass (I'm guessing) will actually increase their gravitational force. This is because of the equation:

F_g =  \frac{Gm_1m_2}{d^2}

If the distance was increased, then the statement would be true, but since you are increasing mass, which is proportional to the Force of Gravity, you are in fact, increasing the gravitational force between the two objects.

As the wavelength increases, the frequency (2 points) decreases and energy decreases. increases and energy increases. decreases
frozen [14]
Bohr's equation for the change in energy is
\Delta E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}
where
h = Planck's constant
c == the velocity of light
λ = wavelength.

The velocity is related to wavelength and frequency, f, by
c = fλ

Let us examine the given answers on the basis of the given equations.

a. As λ increases, f decreases and ΔE decreases.
     TRUE

b. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE increases.
    FALSE

c. As λ increases, f increases and ΔE decreases.
    FALSE

Answer: 
As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and energy decreases.

Batesian mimicry is an adaptive feature associated with the coloration of a given species in a given environment.

<h3>What is Batesian mimicry?</h3>

Batesian mimicry can be defined as a type of adaptive feature associated with the coloration of a particular species and/or population.

On the first island, the color of the population won't change because of the absence of predators.

On the second island, the color of the population will change because of the presence of predators that can be alerted by the color.

On the third island, the color of the population won't change because of the presence of a species with a similar color.

In conclusion, Batesian mimicry is an adaptive feature associated with the coloration of a given species in a given environment.
