Ans) A) Centripetal force will be doubled.

See centripetal force F = mv^2/r

That means centripetal force is directly proportional to the mass of the particle

So, if we double the mass, centripetal force will be increased by twofolds.

So, option A) is correct.

Now, looking at the other options,

B) says centripetal force is unaltered which is incorrect as centripetal force has been altered and increased twofold.

Option C) and D) reduces centripetal force which are also not possible here.

So, only Option A) is correct

A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth = 4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

A resistor, an inductor, and ideal battery, and a switch are connected in series. Just after the switch is closed, which of the

Marianna [84]

Answer:

b) the current and the voltage across the resistor

Explanation:

As soon as we close the switch then the current in the circuit will be zero because the inductor connected in series will not allow to change the current through it due to its inertial property

Since initial current through the inductor is zero so after connecting the key the current will still remains zero and then it will start increasing

The equation for current is given as

$i = i_o(1 - e^{-Rt/L})$

so as soon as the key is closed the current in the circuit is zero and hence the voltage across the resistor is also zero as we know

$V_r = i R = 0$

so correct answer will be

b) the current and the voltage across the resistor
