Answer: E) and F)

Explanation:

E) In any closed loop, the sum of all voltage drops must be zero, as it is stated in the Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL).

This is a direct consequence of the energy conservation principle, as if it could be possible to return to the starting point in a loop with a different voltage, this energy could be used as a infinite energy source, which is against laws of nature, specially Thermodynamic's 2nd law.

F) At any junction, the sum of the currents into it, must be equal to the sum of the currents that leave the junction, as it is stated in the Kirchhoff"s Current Law (KCL).

This is a direct consequence of the charge conservation principle, as the charge can't neither be accumulated nor be destroyed at any point.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.

A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a current of 51

nirvana33 [79]

The resistance of the piece of wire is
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where
$\rho = 1.68 \cdot 10^{-8}\Omega m$ is the resistivity of the copper
$L=5.1 cm=0.051 m$ is the length of the piece of wire
$A=0.13 cm^2 = 0.13 \cdot 10^{-4} m^2$ is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}=6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega$

Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
$V=IR=(51 A)(6.6 \cdot 10^{-5} \Omega )=3.4 \cdot 10^{-3} V$
