Physics

Ainat [17]4 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Calorie is a common term used to describe the amount of energy that can be derived from food products.

We quantify foods based on the calories of energy they possess. A high calorific food will yield more energy to the body and is often desired for intense physical activities.

Calorie is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Food calories slightly differs in definition and they imply the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1°C.

Assuming that voltage remains constant, what happens to the current in a filament if it is replaced by a longer wire?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Choice B: The current decreases.

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor is proportional to its length when radius and resistivity stays the same. The resistance of the longer filament will be greater than the resistance of the initial one.

For Ohmic conductors,

\displaystyle I = \frac{V}{R},

where

  • I is the current through the conductor,
  • V is the voltage across the conductor, and
  • R is the resistance of the conductor.

Voltage here stays the same. Increasing the resistance R of the conductor will reduce the current.

The filament might heat up over time. The filament might not be an ohmic conductor. Still, a similar trend shall exist. Resistance will be greater in the longer filament, and current will decrease.

At the same moment, one rock is thrown upward at 4.5 m/s and another thrown downward at 6.2 m/s. What is the relative velocity o
erastova [34]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) -10.7 m/s 

In fact, the first rock is moving upward with velocity +4.5 m/s, while the second rock is moving downward with velocity -6.2 m/s, with respect to a fixed reference frame. In the reference frame of the first rock, instead, the second rock is moving with velocity equal to its velocity in the fixed frame minus the velocity of the reference frame of the first rock:
</span>v=-6.2 m/s -(+4.5 m/s) = -10.7 m/s<span>
