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.

Why does Gravity have a lesser than grater effect on higher altitudes?

IrinaVladis [17]

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between their centers.

At higher altitude, the center of the Earth is farther from the center of YOU, so the strength of the gravitational force between those two objects is less.

explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home

olchik [2.2K]

Conductors (something that allows electricity to flow easily) allow for electricity to flow easily. This would be the wires. If you don't have conductors, then you cannot have electricity flow.

Insulators (something that doesn't allow electricity to flow through it) is important because it allows us to be able to touch the cables or place them next to one another and not shock ourselves

Suppose you toss a tennis ball upward.a) Does the kinetic energy of the ball increase or decrease as it moves higher?b) What hap

Lilit [14]

Answer:

a) No. The kinetic energy of the ball decreases.

b) The potential energy of the ball increases.

c) The ball would go half of the original distance.

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy would be converted to potential energy as the ball goes higher. Since the total mechanical energy is conserved, the kinetic energy would decrease.

b) The potential energy of the ball would increase. Since the total mechanical energy of the ball is conserved, the ball would lose speed, and therefore kinetic energy. In order to compensate the loss of kinetic energy, the ball would gain potential energy as it goes higher.

c) The relation of the energy and mass is as follows:

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\U = mgh$

According to the energy conservation

$K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgh\\\frac{1}{2}v^2 = gh$

The maximum height that the ball reaches is proportional to the initial velocity. If the ball would be imparted with the same amount of energy, its final potential energy would be the same. However, in order to have the same potential energy (mgh), its height would be half of the original case.

$mgh = (2m)g(\frac{h}{2})$
