What happens to the current in a circuit if the resistance triples? If the voltage triples?

1 answer:

7 0

(Example 1 )
If the Voltage that furnishes the current is an ideal (no internal resistance) Voltage source. Then; 

V/R = i 
V/2R = i/2 If external resistance doubles, current reduced to 1/2 of original value 
V/3R = i/3 If external resistance triples, current reduced to 1/3 of original value 

(Example 2) 
But if the Voltage that furnishes the current is a practical [contains an internal resistance (Ri)] Voltage source. Then the current is a function of the Voltage source`s internal resistance, which does not double nor triple, plus the external resistance which is being doubled and tripled. 

V/(R + Ri) = i 
V/(2R + Ri) = greater than i/2 but less than I. 
V/(3R + Ri) = greater than i/3 but less than i/2

A cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12m/s when he passes a stationary bus.The bus starts moving just as the cyclist passes

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

A.) 8 seconds

B.) 16 seconds

C.) 48 m

Explanation:

Given that a cyclist traveling at constant speed of 12 m/s

and the bus accelerates uniformly at 1.5ms²

A.) The bus has the following parameters

Acceleration a = 1.5 m/s^2

Initial velocity U = 0. Since the bus is starting from rest.

Final velocity V = 12 m/s

Use equation one of linear motion.

V = U + at

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12 = 0 + 1.5t

1.5t = 12

t = 12/1.5

t = 8 seconds

Therefore, the bus reach the same speed as the cyclist at 8 seconds.

B.) For the cyclist moving at constant speed, acceleration a = 0. Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Since a = 0, the equation is reduced to:

h = Ut.

Also, for the bus,

h = Ut + 1/2at^2

Equate the two equations since the h is the same

Ut = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

12t = 0 + 1/2 × 1.5t^2

12t = 0.75t^2

0.75t = 12

t = 12/0.75

t = 16 seconds

Therefore, the bus takes 16 seconds to catch the cyclist

C.) Use third equation of linear motion.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Where s = distance

Substitute V, U and a into the formula

12^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.5 S

144 = 3S

S = 144/3

S = 48 m

<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />

According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is the acceleration of gravity.

Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.

Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence air resistance, so the afirmation "Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:

If the air resistance is too small that we can approximate it to zero in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
