Answer:

Increases, increases

Explanation:

The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. The implication of this is that, whenever the voltage is increased, the current increases simultaneously. On the other hand, if the resistance is increased, the current will decrease accordingly and vice versa.

Recall that power is given by P= V^2/R where;

P= power, V= voltage and R= resistance

We can see that power and resistance are inversely related hence decreasing the resistance increases the power output of the lightbulb.

Why do some things stick together and others do not?
natita [175]

Answer:

Some examples of things that stick together include clothes after they were in the dryer because a charge builds up on the objects, causing them to attract to each other. Things that don't stick together may include two neutral objects, like two pieces of neutral paper. ... If they repel, then they are the same charge.

A capacitor is charged until its stored energy is 7.54 J. A second capacitor is then connected to it in parallel. If the charge
Ivan

Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance C_1 with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor C_2 , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2

since the charge equally distributed,  q_1 = q_2 = q_o/2. and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :

V_1=V_2\\q_1/C_1=q_2/C_2\\q_0/C_1=q_0/C_2\\C_1=C_2=C_3\\

hence,

U=q_0^2/8C+q_0^2/8C\\U=q_0^2/4C\\U=2J

A very small sphere with positive charge 5.00uC is released from rest at a point 1.20cm from a very long line of uniform linear
JulijaS [17]
Let us situate this on the x axis, and let our uniform line of charge be positioned on the interval <span>(−L,0]</span> for some large number L. The voltage V as a function of x on the interval <span>(0,∞)</span> is given by integrating the contributions from each bit of charge. Let the charge density be λ. Thus, for an infinitesimal length element <span>d<span>x′</span></span>, we have <span>λ=<span><span>dq</span><span>d<span>x′</span></span></span></span>.<span>V(x)=<span>1/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>∫line</span><span><span>dq/</span>r</span>=<span>λ/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>∫<span>−L</span>0</span><span><span>d<span>x/</span></span><span>x−<span>x′</span></span></span>=<span>λ/<span>4π<span>ϵ0</span></span></span><span>(ln|x+L|−ln|x|)</span></span>

A 950-kg car strikes a huge spring at a speed of 22m/s (fig. 11-54), compressing the spring 5.0m. (a) what is the spring stiffne
alukav5142 [94]

(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.

(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>

The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²

K.E = 229,900 J

<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

K.E =  U = ¹/₂kx²

k = 2U/x²

k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²

k = 18,392 N/m

<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>

F = kx

F = 18,392 x 5

F = 91,960 N

<h3>Time of impact</h3>

F = mv/t

t = mv/F

t = (950 x 22)/(91960)

t = 0.23 s

Which of the following is not a part of the modern theory of evolution?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) Evolution proceeds in the direction desired by members of a generation is not the modern theory of evolution.

Evolution can not proceed in the direction as desire by the members of the generation as No matter how hard you and your friends wish that your children will be born with the ability to fly unassisted, the kids will have to use airlines like the rest of us. All the rest of these contribute to evolution
