Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

I=\frac{V}{R}

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A

so the current is halved.

Nancy is sailing her boat toward Sam's boat at 5
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5 km/hr

Explanation:

The question says that Nora is few meters behind Nancy and is still with respect to her that means the relative velocity between Nora and Nancy is zero

Vrel = 5 - Vnora= 0 ⇒ Vnora = 5km/hr

Pictorially we can represent the given condition as:

Nora-------few meters------Nancy -----------------    Sam

5km/hr                                         5km/hr →

Hence,  Nora's boat is moving towards Sam at 5km/hr.

Georgia [21]

components of the speed of the coin is given as

v_x = v cos60

v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s

v_y = vsin60

v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}

t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}

t = 0.656 s

now in order to find the height

h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2

h = 1.52 m

so it is placed at 1.52 m height
