Physics

Certainly.

1). A driver presses the gas and the car speeds up.

2). A driver presses the brake and the car slows down.

3). A driver turns the steering wheel slightly. The car's speed doesn't change
as it goes around the curve.

4). A stone is tossed into the air. Gravity accelerates it from the moment it
leaves the thrower's hand until it hits the ground.

5). A new TV satellite is successfully launched and placed in a perfect circular
orbit around the Earth. The satellite's motion is accelerated forever, 24/7/365 .

"Acceleration" means any change in the speed or direction of motion.  Any
object that's not moving at constant speed in a straight line is accelerated.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms

True [87]
The answer is A. Heat flows from high to low. For example, when you put an ice cube in a hot drink, the heat from the drink goes to the ice cube, and that is why it melts.
