Answer:

Increase, increase

Explanation:

For a light bulb, voltage, resistance and current follows the Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, the voltage is fixed: V=120 V. We can rewrite the equation as

I=\frac{V}{R} (1)

we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance: so, if we decrease the resistance of the filament, the current will increase.

Moreover, the power dissipated by the bulb is

P=I^2 R

which can be rewritten using (1) as

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

We see that the power dissipated is inversely proportional to the resistance: therefore, if we decrease the resistance of the filament, the power dissipated will increase.

Analyze why a body undergoing uniform motion eventually comes to rest even in the
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

It happens due to force of friction

Explanation:

If a body is performing a uniform motion and no external unbalanced force appears to apply on it, then  the body will come to rest after certain time. The reason behind this is the force of friction that is applied in opposite direction of the motion. So, when there is no apparent unbalanced force it means that the only force acting on the body is the force of friction. This force of friction tends to stop the motion after some period of time, because it is acting in the direction opposite to that of motion.

Hence, the reason behind a body undergoing uniform motion eventually stops is <u>Force of Friction.</u>
