As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the circuit a. Increasesb. Decreasesc. Remains the same

Answer:

b. Decreases

Explanation:

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R_T=R_1+R_2+...+R_n (1)

Therefore, as we add more lamps, the total resistance increases (because we add more positive tems in the sum in eq.(1).

The current in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R_T}

where V is the voltage provided by the power source and R_T is the total resistance. We notice that the current, I, is inversely proportional to the total resistance: therefore, when more lamps are added to the series circuit, the total resistance increases, and therefore the current in the circuit decreases.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

b. craters, river valleys feeding into surface lakes of very cold liquids

Explanation:

  • Jovian moons are the four largest satellites like the moon of the Jupiter ie the Lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and were first seen by the galileo. They are amiugly the largest moons with radii larger than the dwarf planet.  
  • Lo has more than 400 active volcanoes and dotted more than 100 mountains and has an extremely thin atmosphere made up of sulfur dioxide. The Europa has deep oceans of liquid water, and the layer of ice, and are characteristic of the tidal heating.  
  • <u>While the surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and has salty liquid water.</u>

Suppose that you observe light emitted from a distant star to be at a wavelength of 525 nm. The wavelength of light to an observ
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of observer = 525 nm

Wave length of source = 950 nm

We need to calculate the velocity

If the direction is from observer to star.

From Doppler effect

\lambda_{0}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times\lambda_{s}

Put the value into the formula

525=\sqrt{\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}}\times950

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=(\dfrac{525}{950})^2

\dfrac{c+v}{c-v}=0.305

c+v=0.305\times(c-v)

v(1+0.305)=c(0.305-1)

v=\dfrac{0.305-1}{1+0.305}c

v=−0.532c

Negative sign shows the star is moving toward the observer.

Hence, The velocity of the star is 0.532 c.

4. How much time does it take for a student running at a speed of 5 m/s to cover a distance of 2,000 m?
Monica [59]

Answer:

6 Minutes 40 Seconds or 400 Seconds

Explanation:

Time to cover a distance of 5m = 1 Second

Time to cover a distance of 2000m = 2000÷5

= 400 Seconds

After converting 400 Seconds into minutes it will become 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Those who found this helpful please give me a Thanks to support me. So, I can explain other questions more clearly. If you don't want to mark me Brainliest don't mark. But, please give me a Thanks.

You're at rest in a hammock when a hungry mosquito sees an opportunity for lunch. A mild 2 m/s breeze is blowing. If the mosquit
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A) against the breeze at 2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that air is blowing at 2 m/s.An a mosquito eat lunch.If mosquito want to eat lunch he have to move opposite to the direction of air because air is blowing at 2 m/s.So we can say that mosquito have to move against the air.

But in we have to protect our self from mosquito because if any mosquito bite us then it may lead to fever .So the protection is very important from mosquito .

Therefore the answer is --

A
