The situation presented above is possible because the outlets could be operating in a parallel circuit. <span>Electrical outlets in a house maintain a steady voltage, even when the amount of resistance on them changes because it operates with a parallel circuit wherein voltage is constant even if resistance changes.</span>

Remark
When you are asked a question like this, the first thing to do is search out a formula and put some limits on it.

Formula
I = E/R which comes from E = IR. To get to the derived formula, divide both sides by R
E/R = I*R/R
E/R = I

Discussion
This is an inverse relationship. That means that as one goes up the other one will go down. 

So in this case you keep E constant and you manipulate R and look at your results for I

Case 1

Let us say that E = 10 volts
Let us also say the R = 10 ohms

I = E/R
I = 10/10
I = 1 ohm

Case Two
Let's raise the Resistance to 100 ohms
E = 10
R = 100
I = 10/100 = 0.1 

Conclusion
As the Resistance goes up, the current goes down. Answer: A

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

A 65.0-kg woman steps off a 10.0-m diving platform and drops straight down into the water. 1) If she reaches a depth of 3.20 m,
timurjin [86]

Answer:

F=2627.6N

Explanation:

The work done by this resistive force while traveling a distance <em>d</em> underwater would be:

W=F.d=-Fd

where the minus sign appears because the force is upwards and the displacement downwards.

This work is equal to the change of mechanical energy. At the diving plataform and underwater, when she stops moving, the woman has no kinetic energy, so all can be written in terms of her total change of gravitational potential energy:

W=\Delta E=U_f-U_i=mgh_f-mgh_i=mg(h_f-h_i)

Putting all together:

F=-\frac{W}{d}=-\frac{mg(h_f-h_i)}{d}=-\frac{(65kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-3.2m-10m)}{3.2m}=2627.6N
