Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

  • Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

        I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }

  • where Rint = r and RL = r
  • Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

       I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)

  • When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

       I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r}  (2)

  • We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

        \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}

  • The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

Answer:

3 820 885 N

Explanation:

Gravitational equation

   F = G  m1 m2 / r^2    

         G = gravitational constant = 6.6713 x 10^-11 m^3/kg-s^2

F = 6.6713 x 10^-11   *   4.41 x 10^5  * 5.97 x 10^24  / ( 6.78x 10^6)^2

 = 3820885 .3 N

lara31 [8.8K]
The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

Flura [38]
The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.

A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N
