Answer:

The terminal voltage would increase to be > 10 V

Explanation:

Battery emf = 12 volt

Potential difference at 0.5 ampere load in between the terminals is 10 volts

The formula for terminal voltage is

V = emf - IR

Where:

I = Current = 0.5 A

R = Resistance

Therefore, when V = 10 volt, we have

10 V = 12 V - 0.5 × R₁

∴ R₁ = 4 Ω

When the resistance of the load is lower say R₂ < R₁, then we have

V₂ = 12 V - 0.5 × R₁ = 12 V - 0.5 × R₂ < R₁

= 12 V -<0.5 × R₁

Since V₁ = 12 V - 0.5 × R₁

V₂ > V₁ and the terminal voltage would increase.

V₂ > 10 V.

What is displacement ​
omeli [17]

The word displacement implies that an object has moved, or has been displaced. Displacement is defined to be the change in position of an object.

Displacement is defined as the act of moving someone or something from one position to another or the measurement of the volume replaced by something else

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is \Delta T  = 1795 K

Explanation:

From the question we  are told that

   The temperature coefficient is  \alpha  =  4 * 10^{-3 }\  k^{-1 }

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

           R  =  R_o [1 + \alpha  \Delta T]

Where R_o is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

     \Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]

Now from ohm law

           I = \frac{V}{R}

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

           \frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}

Substituting this we have

       \Delta T  = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]

From the question we are told that

    I  = \frac{I_o}{8}

Substituting this we have

   \Delta T  = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]

=>     \Delta T  = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )

        \Delta T  = 1795 K

A 39-cm-long vertical spring has one end fixed on the floor. Placing a 2.2 kg physics textbook on the spring compresses it to a
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 39 cm

Compresses length = 29 cm

Mass = 2.2 kg

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

x=l-l'

Put the value into the formula

x=39-29=10\ cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of restoring force

F=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Where, F = force

x = distance

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.2\times9.8}{10\times10^{-2}}

k=215.6\ N/m

Hence, The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.
