Voltage must decrease by a factor of 3 to reduce the current in the resistor by a factor of 3

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to ohms law, the voltage passed in a circuit will be directly proportional to the current flow in the circuit. So the resistance of the resistor will act as proportionality constant in ohms law. Let us consider V as original voltage producing a current I in resistor of resistance R. Then according to ohms law:

$V=I \times R$

Now the revised current flow in the circuit is reduced by a factor of 3, So the new current is $\frac{I}{3}$ in the same resistance R, then the new voltage will be

$V^{\prime}=\frac{I \times R}{3}=\frac{V}{3}$

So, the voltage must be reduced by a factor of 3 to reduce the current in the resistor by a factor of 3.

A disk of mass m and moment of inertia of I is spinning freely at 6.00 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinnin

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The angular speed of the new system is $3\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:

$I\cdot \omega_{o} = 2\cdot I \cdot \omega_{f}$

Where:

$I$ - Moment of inertia of a disk, measured in kilogram-square meter.

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\omega_{f}$ - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

This relationship is simplified and final angular speed can be determined in terms of initial angular speed:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \omega_{o}$

Given that $\omega_{o} = 6\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , the angular speed of the new system is:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(6\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)$

$\omega_{f} = 3\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The angular speed of the new system is $3\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

ivann1987 [24]

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

A tennis ball is dropped from 1.13 m above the

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

-4.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 1.13 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 1.13 m)

v = -4.71 m/s
