Answer: The correct option is "It will increase the equivalent resistance which will decrease the total current".

Explanation:

In the series combination, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is more than the equivalent resistance of the circuit in the parallel combination.

The resistance is inversely proportional to the current.

The value of the current across each resistors in the series circuit is same.

If the more resistors are added to the series circuit then the overall resistance of the circuit will increase. It may lead to decrease in the value of the total current.

Therefore, the correct option is "It will increase the equivalent resistance which will decrease the total current".

Do you think there might be a point in space between Earth and the Moon where the gravity of each would pull on an object equall
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Assuming Earth and Moon are isolated is space, it is possible to have a point where Earth and Moon will pull at an object with equal force.

That point will be closer to the Moon than the Earth because Moon's gravitational field strength is weaker than Earth's gravitational field strength.

A street musician sounds the A string of his violin, producing a tone of 440 Hz, What frequency does a bicyclist hear as he a) a
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

a) f_o=454.11Hz

b)f_o=425.89Hz

Explanation:

Let´s use Doppler effect, in order to calculate the observed frequency by the byciclist. The Doppler effect equation for a general case is given by:

f_o=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s} *f_s

where:

f_o=Observed\hspace{3}frequency

f_s=Actual\hspace{3}frequency

v=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}sound\hspace{3}waves

v_s=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source

v_o=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer

Now let's consider the next cases:

+v_o\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}towards\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source

-v_o\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}away\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source

-v_s\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}towards\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer

+v_s\hspace{3}is\hspace{3}used\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}source\hspace{3}moves\hspace{3}away\hspace{3}from\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}observer

The data provided by the problem is:

f_s=440Hz\\v_o=11m/s

The problem don't give us aditional information about the medium, so let's assume the medium is the air, so the speed of sound in air is:

v=343m/s

Now, in the first case the observer alone is in motion towards to the source, hence:

f_o=\frac{v+v_o}{v}*f_s=\frac{343+11}{343} *440=454.1107872Hz

Finally, in the second case the observer alone is in motion away from the source, so:

f_o=\frac{v-v_o}{v}*f_s=\frac{343-11}{343} *425.8892128Hz

How much heat is lost by 2.0 grams of water if the temperature drops from 31 °C to 29 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/
Elanso [62]

Given :

Mass of water, m = 2 grams.

The temperature of water drops from 31 °C to 29 °C .

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g • °C).

To Find :

Amount of heat lost in this process.

Solution :

We know, heat lost is given by :

Heat\ lost,H = ms( T_f - T_i)\\\\H = 2\times 4.184 \times ( 31 - 29 )\ J\\\\H = 16.736\ J

Therefore, amount of heat lost in this process is 16.736 J.
