Answer:

B. increase by a factor of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to ohms law:

V ∝ R

Vo = IoR

R = Vo/Io ... (1)

Vo is the initial potential difference/voltage

Io is the initial current across the resistor

R is the resistance

If for an Ohmic conductor, we triple the voltage without changing the resistance:

New voltage V1 = 3Vo

New voltage V1 = I1R (resistance doesn't change)

I1 is the current after the voltage has tripled

3Vo = I1R

R = 3Vo/I1... (2)

Equating both resistances in 1 and 2 since resistance doesn't change we have:

Vo/Io = 3Vo/I1

1/Io = 3/I1

I1/Io = 3

New current I1 = 3Io

This shows that tripling the voltage increases the current by factor of 3

A wheel with radius 1 foot makes 1 revolution in 4 seconds. What is the linear velocity, in feet per second, of a point on the e
Alona [7]

In one revolution of the wheel, a point on the edge travels a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel.

The wheel has radius 1 ft, so its circumference is 2π (1 ft) = 2π ft.

Then the point has a linear speed of

(1/4 rev/s) * (2π ft/rev) = 2π/4 ft/s = π/2 ft/s

What is the end behavior of the function f(x)=−1/4x^2?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the function goes in the downward direction on both sides, it would be negative infinity for both.

It's basically saying, as the x values go towards the positives, the y values go towards the negatives

and as the x values go towards the negatives, the y values go towards the negatives.
