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.

An object has a mass of 15 kg and is accelerating to the right at 16.3 m/s2. The free-body diagram shows the horizontal forces a
marshall27 [118]
Refer to the free body diagram shown melow.

F =  applied force
R =  frictional force
m = 15 kg, the mass of the object

The acceleration (to the right) is 16.3 m/s², therefore
F - R = (15 kg)*(16.3 m/s²) = 244.5 N

The normal reaction is
N = mg = (15 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)  = 147 N
The frictional force is
R = μN = 147μ N,  where μ =  coefficient of kinetic friction.

Let us check possible answers:
If R = 5.5 N, then μ = 5.5/147 = 0.0374 (very likely)
If R = 15 N, then μ = 15/147 = 0.102 (possible)
If R = 244.5 N,   (Highly unlikely, exceed mg)
If R = 494.5 N, (highly unlikely, exceeds mg)

Answer:
The most reasonable answer is R = 5.5 N

Please help!!
xz_007 [3.2K]

Displacement is the area under the velocity/time graph. So for example this object's displacement in the first 3 seconds is (1/2)(3sec)(12.5 m/s)= 18.75m. (and then it starts backing up, displacement decreasing, after 3sec when velocity is negative).

But This object is never speeding up. Its velocity is smoothly decreasing at (25/6) m/s^2 (the slope of the graph). So the answer to the question is actually zero.

Can we call centre of gravity centre of weight? ​
algol [13]

Answer:

Centre of gravity is a theoretical point in the body where the total weight of the body is thought to be concentrated. In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of gravity is identical to the centre of mass. Yet, the two points do not always coincide.
