Which statement describes the role of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

Physics

Arisa [49]3 years ago

The role of a resistor in an electrical circuit is to <u>hinder the movement of charge through a circuit</u>

Explanation:

A charge is carried through a wire by current (indicated as <em>I</em> in physics S.I connotation). Higher current means the rate at which the charge is flowing through the wire is fast. High resistance of the wire means the charge flows with difficulty hence slower. Resistance is given by the formulae;

R = V/I whereby;

R = resistance

V = voltage

I = current

As you can observe <em>R</em> (resistance) is inversely proportional to<em> I </em>(current). Meaning the higher the resistance the lower the current.

What is the formula for volume using density and mass
lawyer [7]

The definition of density is

                                                       Density                  = (mass) / (volume)

Multiply each side by 'volume' :    (density) x (volume) = (mass)

Divide each side by 'density' :                         Volume = (mass) / (density)

A 12.70 g bullet has a muzzle velocity (at the moment it leaves the end of a firearm) of 430 m/s when rifle with a weight of 25.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.1844 m/s

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum can be applied here.

when two objects interact, the total momentum remains the same  provided no external forces are acting.

Consider the whole system , gun and bullet. as an isolated system, so the net momentum is constant. In particular before firing the gun, the net momentum is zero. The conservation of momentum,

0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}  + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle}  \\

assume the bullet goes to right side and the gravitational acceleration =10 ms^{-2}

so now the weight of the rifle=\frac{25}{10}  

0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}  + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle}  \\\\0=(12.70*10^{-3}) *430ms^{-1} +(\frac{25}{10} )*v_{rifle} \\v_{rifle} =-2.1844ms^{-1}

this is a negative velocity to the right side. that means the rifle recoils to the left side

Answer:

Zero; no force is required to keep it going

Explanation:

Since the cannon ball is fired into frictionless space, there will be nothing to stop it, so it will keep going and going.
