A resistor in a circuit acts as a switch to control the flow of charge in a circuit.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An electrical components that plays a role of limiting or regulating the electrical current flow is termed as Resistor. It can be helpful for the purpose of giving certain voltage to a device like a transistor. The current that is passing through a resistor has a inverse proportionality with its resistance and direct proportionality to the voltage that is passing across it., provided another factors remaining unchanged. This can be explained by Ohm's Law.

The electric current that is passing through an electrical circuit will always be dependent on the the voltage and the resistance. When the current flowing throgh a circuit is larger then it can result in heating that damages and burn he resistors or the objects that is present around the circuit.

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110

Verizon [17]

The car's rate of acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²

you and a friend setup an umbrella and chairs at a beach. your friend goes into the surf zone while you relax on the sand. sever

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Backwash effect

Explanation:

Your friend moved along the shore due to ; The swash effect and the Backwash effect

Swash effect is caused by the upsurge of water up along the slopping front of the beach and this same upsurge in water moves back into the beach in what is known as the backwash effect hence the movement of your friend form where they were in the surf zone to another position still within the surface zone is caused by the BACKWASH EFFECT

Alchen [17]

Answer:

g = 0.85 m $s^{-2}$

Explanation:

g = $\frac{GM}{h^{2} }$

were; g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, G is Newton's gravitation constant (6.674 x $10^{-11}$ N $m^{2}$ $kg^{-2}$ ), M is the mass of the earth (5.972 x $10^{24}$ kg), and h is the distance of meteoroid to the earth.
