Answer:

a) The voltage on resistor R1 is less than before. Letter B.

b) The current through R1 is less than before. Letter B.

c) The resistance of the circuit went up by adding R2 in series. Letter A.

Explanation:

a) The new resistor R2 was added in series, that means the same current goes through both resistors (R1 and R2) and that the sum of the individual voltage drop of those resistors should be the same as the voltage of the source. Before there was only resistor R1 connected to the source, so all the voltage of the source was being delivered to that component, but now it is divided between R1 and R2. So the voltage on R1 is less than previously. Letter B.

b) A battery works as a voltage source, so assuming it's charged, it delivers a value of voltage to the circuit, while the current flow through it is defined by the equivalent resistance across the terminals. Since the new resistor was added in series the total resistance of the circuit went up and the current delivered by the battery went down. Letter B.

c) Since the equivalent resistance for a series connection is the sum of the resistors, R12 = R1 + R2, the resistence went up. Letter A.

If the net force on a block is zero

amm1812

If the net force on a block is zero, the block will move at constant velocity

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$ (1)

where

$\sum F$ is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a block, and the net force on it is zero:

$\sum F = 0$

According to eq.(1), this also implies that

$a=0$

So, the acceleration of the block is zero.

However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity in a time of $\Delta t$ . Since the acceleration is zero, this means that $\Delta v=0$ , and therefore the velocity of the object is constant.

This term means that we are interacting with an item at a high-level, with lower-level internal details hidden from the user.

Option d) abstraction is the correct answer.

Abstraction is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics. In object-oriented programming, abstraction is one of three central principles Through this process, a programmer hides all but the relevant data about an object in order to reduce complexity and increase efficiency.

How much heat is absorbed by 41 g iron skillet when its temperature varies from 9°C. to 20°C

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

202.95J

Explanation:

The formulae for the energy absorbed by the iron skillet is;

q=m*c*ΔФ where q=energy absorbed, m is mass of iron skillet, c is specific heat capacity and ΔФ is change in temperature

Given that;

m= 41g

ΔФ=20°-9°=11°

c=0.45 J/g°C

q= 41×0.45×11

q= 202.95 J

What is the equation for measuring the change in thermal energy?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Explanation: I think...

Thermal Energy formula Q = mcΔT

Q = Thermal Energy(J)

m = Mass(kg)

c = Specific Heat(J/kg°C)

ΔT = Change in Temperature(°C)

you have to write the equation based on what you are working on
