Answer:

<u><em>Sample Response</em></u>: Stu's answer was incorrect. According to Ohm's law, R = V/I. This is the equation that should be used to obtain the correct answer, which is 8 ohms.

Answer:

The answer is not correct.

Explanation:

Stu's answer is not correct, the equation to use is known as the law of ohm. In which the voltage is defined as the product of the current by the resistance, then we will see this equation.

V = I*R\\where:\\I = current [amp]\\R = resistance [ohm]\\V = voltage [volts]\\

In order to find resistance, this term is found multiplying the current on the right side of the equation, therefore the current will be divided on the left side of the equation.

R=\frac{V}{I} \\replacing:\\R=\frac{4}{0.5} \\R=8[ohms]

That is the reason that the result found by Stu is not correct.

what will be the gravitational force between two bodies if the mass of each is doubled and the distance between them is halved?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Gravitational force will be 16 times more.

Explanation:

we know;

Gravitational force (F) = (Gm1m2)/d^2

when mass of each is doubled and distance between them is halved;

F= (G2m1×2m2)/(d/2)^2

=(4Gm1m2)/(d^2/4)

=4×4(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16(Gm1m2)/d^2

=16F

Blank is a measure of how fast something moves
quester [9]

Answer: average speed  

  The overall rate of speed at which an object moves: calculated by dividing the total distance an object travels by the total time

instantaneous speed >      The speed of an object at one instant in time.

velocity                    >                Speed in a given direction
