What is the effect on current if both the voltage and the resistance are halved?

Physics
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
3 0

The current through a resistor is

      <u> (voltage across the resistor) / (resistance of the resistor)</u> .

If the numerator and the denominator of that fraction are both
multiplied or divided by the same number, then the value of the
fraction <em>doesn't change</em>.

3) A driver in a 1000-kg car traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefticient of friction between
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A) 37 m

Explanation:

The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u^2 = 2ad (1)

where

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the length of the skid

We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:

F=ma=-\mu mg

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

\mu = 0.80 is the coefficient of friction

a is the deceleration of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:

a=-\mu g

And we can substitute it into eq.(1) to find d:

v^2 -u^2 = 2(\-mu g) d\\d= \frac{v^2-u^2}{-2 \mu g}=\frac{0-(24 m/s)^2}{-2(0.80)(9.8 m/s^2)}=36.7 m \sim 37 m

You travel an an average speed of 20 km/h in a straight line to get to your grandmothers house. It takes you 3 hours to get to h
Ber [7]
20km every 1 hr is what 20km/hr means.

so 3hrs is 20km*3=60km.

State how you agree or disagree with the following statement. A good circuit cannot have internal resistance.​
Rashid [163]

Answer: I do

Explanation:

Resistance opposes current thereby reducing the amount of current that flows through a circuit. In other words, it leads to a loss of electrical energy.

Ideally speaking, a good circuit should have no internal resistance as this would lead to more energy having to be supplied to overcome that resistance. External resistance however, is not a bad thing. For instance, oxygen being removed from lightbulbs.

PLZ HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST OR WHATEVER U PPL WANT JUST HELP!

Newton's first law is sometimes known as the law of inertia. It is the law that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it. For example, if I was working with a wrench in space an it slipped, it would keep on going in one direction with a constant speed unless it hits something. Hope this helps!
