Answer:
A. Increasing the voltage of the battery
Explanation:
The relationship between voltage, V, current, I and resistance, R, is given as follows;
V = I × R
∴ I = V/R
From the above relationship, the current flowing in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the battery, and inversely proportional to the resistance, 'R', of the circuit
Therefore, increasing the voltage, 'V', of the battery, increases the total current, 'I', flowing in the circuit.
Answer
given,
mass of ball, m = 57.5 g = 0.0575 kg
velocity of ball northward,v = 26.7 m/s
mass of racket, M = 331 g = 0.331 Kg
velocity of the ball after collision,v' = 29.5 m/s
a) momentum of ball before collision
P₁ = m v
P₁ = 0.0575 x 26.7
P₁ = 1.535 kg.m/s
b) momentum of ball after collision
P₂ = m v'
P₂ = 0.0575 x (-29.5)
P₂ = -1.696 kg.m/s
c) change in momentum
Δ P = P₂ - P₁
Δ P = -1.696 -1.535
Δ P = -3.231 kg.m/s
d) using conservation of momentum
initial speed of racket = 0 m/s
M u + m v = Mu' + m v
M x 0 + 0.0575 x 26.7 = 0.331 x u' + 0.0575 x (-29.5)
0.331 u' = 3.232
u' = 9.76 m/s
change in velocity of the racket is equal to 9.76 m/s
