Here, we're going to make use of two important equations: V = IR and P = IV.

V = IR shows us that the product of current (I) and resistance (R) must equal voltage (V). If V is held constant at 120 (which it is in the question), then, if the resistance R decreases, the current I must increase in order to make the equation work (if V = IR and R goes down, but V must stay the same, I must go up to balance the change out).

P = IV shows us that the product of current (I) and voltage (V) must equal power (P). If V is held constant at 120 (which it is in the question), then, if the resistance R decreases, the power P must decrease (because P = IV, so if I goes down and V stays the same, P must go down).

In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?
Triss [41]

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

I need it now aaaasssssaaaappp!!!!
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A) Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency and the lower the pitch, the lower the frequency. Sound waves have different pitches due to varying frequency levels.

B) Sound is created as the pen vibrates. This vibrations also interacts with the air atoms and molecules, causing them to vibrate too, therefore, creating sound waves. The reason the brain grows annoyed at this continual sound is because the brain will focus on this sound only, causing the brain to go into overdrive, creating annoyance.

C) Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles. Space does not have any atoms or particles for the sound vibrations to interact with, therefore creating zero sound waves to travel.

Hope this helps!! :))

Anna drew a diagram to compare the strong and weak force. Which labels belong in the areas marked X, Y, and Z? X: infinite range
Maslowich

Answer:

For areas marked X, Y, Z, X is attractive only, Y has a very small range, and Z is attractive and repulsive

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

From the question stated, Anna drew a diagram to compare forces that are strong and weak.

Now,

We are to find which labels are grouped in areas marked as X, Y, Z respectively.

Thus,

For X, Y, Z it is marked as:

X: Always attractive  or attractive only

Y: Very small range

Z:  Repulsive and attractive
