Answer: Resistor

Explanation:

A voltmeter is a device that is used measure potential difference across a component in a circuit. Voltmeter is attached in parallel connection with the component and has high resistance so that it does not draw any current and alter the measurement of potential difference. Thus, it does not use current to operate.

A switch is a device that completes or breaks the circuit. when open, the gap acts like infinite resistor and no current passes. With switch closed, the circuit is complete and current flows through the circuit. Thus, it does not use current to operate.

A battery is a device that provides electric current. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Thus, it supplies electric charges to flow in a circuit and no uses current to operate.

Resistor is a passive component of a circuit. A resistor is used to reduce the flow of current. A resistor is significant in a circuit only when there is current flowing. Hence, we can say that Resistor uses current.

A bullet of mass 120g is fired horizontally into a fixed wooden block with a speed of 20m\s. The bullet is brought to rest in a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1) F = 24 N

2) Distance = 1 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

Initial velocity; u = 20 m/s

Final velocity; v = 0 m/s since it came to rest.

Time; t = 0.1 s

We can calculate acceleration from Newton's first equation of motion;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 20)/0.1

a = -200 m/s²

1) magnitude of the resistance will be;

F = ma

F = 0.12 × (-200)

F = -24 N

Since, we are dealing with the magnitude, we will take the absolute value. Thus, F = 24 N

2) To find the distance moved by the bullet, we know that;

Distance = Average speed × time

Thus;

Distance = ((v + u)/2) × t

Distance = ((0 + 20)/2) × 0.1

Distance = 1 m

Write a question about how changing temperature affects gas

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

Explanation:

One possible question can be:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

The answer to this question is contained in Charle's law, which states that for a gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature:

$V\propto T$

Or also written as

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$

By looking at this equation, we can find immediately the answer to our question: as the (absolute) temperature of the gas increases, the volume increases as well, by the same proportion.
