Answer:

Choice B: The current decreases.

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor is proportional to its length when radius and resistivity stays the same. The resistance of the longer filament will be greater than the resistance of the initial one.

For Ohmic conductors,

\displaystyle I = \frac{V}{R},

where

  • I is the current through the conductor,
  • V is the voltage across the conductor, and
  • R is the resistance of the conductor.

Voltage here stays the same. Increasing the resistance R of the conductor will reduce the current.

The filament might heat up over time. The filament might not be an ohmic conductor. Still, a similar trend shall exist. Resistance will be greater in the longer filament, and current will decrease.

A 10.00 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 14.0 m/s. A 12.0 kg mass is moving to the left with a velocity of 8.00
Basile [38]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of momentum, the initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system.

Let the 10.00 kg mass be m_1 and the 12.0 kg mass be m_2. When they collide and stick, they have a combined mass of m_1+m_2.

Momentum is given by p=mv. Set up the following equation:

\displaystyle m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f, where v_f is the desired final velocity of the masses.

Call the right direction positive. To indicate the 12.0 kg object is travelling left, its velocity should be substitute as -8.00 m/s.

Solving yields:

10\cdot 14 + 12\cdot (-8)=(10+12)v_f\\\implies v_f=\boxed{2 \text{ m/s}}

If the water in a lake is everywhere at rest, what is the pressure as a function of distance from the surface? The air above the
Rudiy27

Answer:

Answer:

101325 + 10055.25h

//

h = 10.1 m

Explanation:

the pressure at sea level =  1 atm = 101325 Pa

density of sea water = 1025 kg/ m^(3)

pressure due to fluid height = pgh

Absolute pressure = 101325 + 1025*9.81*h

                               = 101325 + 10055.25h

where h= 0 at sea level at increases downwards

//

101325 = 1025* 9.81* h

h = 10.1 m

What is the thinnest film of a coating with n = 1.39 on glass (n=1.52) for which destructive interference of the red component (
Illusion [34]
In optics, you have to create a layer of coating that is approximately 1/4 of the light's wavelength. The working equation for this problem is:

d = λ₀/4n, 
where
λ₀ is the wavelength of the incident light
n is the refractive index of the coating

Substituting the values,

d = (650 nm)/4(1.39)
<em>d = 116.9 nm</em>

In cloud formation, water vapor turns into water droplets which get bigger and bigger until it rains.
True [87]

Answer:

a. get warmer.

Explanation:

When the water vaporous reach the upper layer of the atmosphere they get a cooler air to which they loose their temperature and condense to form clouds as a the temperature of the air increases.

It may be noted that the water looses its high amount of latent heat of vaporization to condense into water this significantly increases the temperature of the air in contact.
