Resistance decreases the amount of current in a circuit, because it opposes current.

Also, the relationship can be shown mathematically: Current=Voltage/Resistance

resistance is divided into the voltage, creating a smaller number which is the value for current.

Resistance decreases the flow of current in a circuit.

EXPLANATION:

The resistance of an electrical circuit is defined as the opposition to the flow of current in that particular circuit.

From Ohm's law, we know that current flowing through a wire I = $\frac{V}{R}$

Here,V is the potential across the two ends of a conductor or wire, and R is the resistance of that wire.

Hence, more is the resistance, the less will be the current flow in the current.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Ff = u M g frictional force where u = .62

1/2 M v^2 kinetic energy of water bottle at release

Ff * d = 1/2 M v^2 = u M g d work to stop equals initial kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 u g d = 2 * .62 * 9.8 * 12 = 146 m^2 / s^2

v = 12.1 m/s

The speaker at the concert has the sound intensity level of 100 dB if we listen from the distance 5 m.How far from the speaker d

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$28.11m$ far from the speaker the intensity drops to 85 dB.

Explanation:

In the equation for the Decibel scale

$(1). \: \:\beta =10 log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})$

The ratio of the intensities can be written as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{\frac{P}{A} }{\frac{P}{A_0} }$

$\dfrac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{A_0}{A}.$

And since

$A = 4\pi r^2$

and

$A_0 = 4 \pi r_0^2$ ,

$\dfrac{A_0}{A} = \dfrac{4 \pi r_0^2}{4 \pi r^2} = \dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2}$

meaning

$\dfrac{I}{I_0} = \dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2}.$

Putting this into equation (1), we get:

$\boxed{ (2).\: \: \beta = 10log(\dfrac{r_0^2}{r^2})}$

Now, if the intensity is 100 dB when the distance is 5 meters, we have:

$100dB=10 log(\dfrac{r_02}{(5m)^2})$

$10= log(\dfrac{r_0^2}{25})$

by taking both sides to the exponent:

$10^{10}= \dfrac{r_0^2}{25}$

$r^2 = 25 *10^{10}\\r = 5 *10^5$

Now equation (2) becomes

$\beta = 10log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})$

when the intensity level is 85 dB we have

$85 = 10log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})$

$8.5 = log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})$

take both sides to exponents and we get:

$10^{8.5} =10^{ log(\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2})}$

$10^{8.5} =\dfrac{25*10^{10}}{r^2}$

$r^2 = \dfrac{25*10^{10}}{10^{8.5}}$

$\boxed{r = 28.11m}$

Thus, $28.11m$ far from the speaker the intensity drops to 85 dB.

What is an inelastic collision?

Radda [10]

Answer:

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities inelastic collisions.

Explanation:

Suppose two similar trolleys are traveling toward each other with equal speed. They collide, bouncing off each other with no loss in speed. This collision is perfectly elastic because no energy has been lost. In reality, examples of perfectly elastic collisions are not part of our everyday experience. Some collisions between atoms in gases are examples of perfectly elastic collisions. However, there are some examples of collisions in mechanics where the energy lost can be negligible. These collisions can be considered elastic, even though they are not perfectly elastic. Collisions of rigid billiard balls or the balls in Newton's cradle are two such examples.
