According to Ohm's Law: 

I =  \frac{V}{R}

Where: V = Voltage
            I = Current
            R = Resistance

As you can see here, you can say that Current is directly proportional to Voltage and indirectly proportional to Resistance. This means that as the voltage increases, current increases and as the resistance increases, current decreases. 

So in your scenario, if the voltage remains the same, but the resistance is doubled, that means that the current will be halved. So the answer to your question is 2. the current will drop to half of its original value.

The force generated by a long muscle varies as it contracts through its range of movement. At which point is the greatest force
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

When the muscle is completely contract.

Explanation:

Remember the that maximum force of a muscle is when is completely contract. A characteristic of a muscle is that can contract and can relax in the opposite direction. In this way, when all the microfibers of the muscle are join together (they are contract) is when the maximum tissue force is applied.

With exercise the fibers of the muscles can grow or reproduce to strength the muscle.

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. <u><em>If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency</em></u> (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). <em><u>As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease</u></em>. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

What is the weight of a 15kg dog on earth?
Mariulka [41]
In physics the standard unit of weight is Newton, and the standard unit of mass is the kilogram. On Earth, a 1 kg object weighs 9.8 N, so to find the weight of an object in N simply multiply the mass by 9.8 N. Or, to find the mass in kg, divide the weight by 9.8 N.
