Which statement is true for a series circuit?

Physics

Each of those choices has some truth to it, but three of the five choices also include some nonsense.

A.  The voltage <em>divides proportionally</em> among all resistors in the circuit.

<em>B.  </em> As more resistors are added, the current will decrease.   <em>True,</em> because the total resistance will increase.

C.   The <em>sum </em>of the voltage drops will be the total voltage in the circuit.

D.   The current is the same <em>through</em> all resistors in the circuit.

<em>E. </em>  The equivalent resistance will be greater than the individual resistors.  <em>True,</em> because the equivalent resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

You are standing in an elevator that is accelerating upward at 1m/s². Which of the following pairs of forces is an action-reacti
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

B The force that the floor of the elevator exerts on you and the force that you exert on the floor of the elevator

Explanation:

A. is incorrect because the force of gravity on you will always stays the same while the force of the elevator exerts on you changes as it takes you upward

B. is correct in accordance to Newton's 3rd law of action and reaction forces.

C. is incorrect because gravity force stays the same while the force that you exerts on the floor change as elevator moving upward.

D. is incorrect although it states Newton's 1st law. However there can still be pair of forces (part B) that could counter balance each other among other forces.

The odometer of a car reads 57321 km when the clock shows the time 8.30 am. What is the distance moved by the car, if at 8.50 am
malfutka [58]

Answer:

0.75km/min

Explanation:

I haven't learnt physics at all but I'll try

57336 - 57321 = 15km (Difference)

8.50 am - 8.30 am = 20 minutes (Difference)

If the car odometer adds up 15km every 20 minutes...

20 mins = 15km

1 min = 15 ÷ 20 = 0.75km

A briefcase sits stationary in an elevator. The mass of the briefcase if 4.5 kg. The elevator then begins accelerating upwards a
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

D. 48.985 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that:

\sum F = ma

which means that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration.

The equation of the forces for the briefcase in the elevator therefore is given by:

N-mg=ma

where

N is the normal reaction exerted on the briefcase

(mg) is the weight of the briefcase, with

m = 4.5 kg being its mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a = 1.10 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Here we chose upward as positive direction.

Solving for N, we find the normal force:

N=mg+ma=m(g+a)=(4.5)(9.81+1.10)=49.095 N

So the closest answer is

D. 48.985 N
