"How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"

1 answer:

5 0

We can answer the question by looking at the Ohm's law, which gives us the relationship between voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) of a circuit:
$V=IR$
equivalently, we can rewrite it as
$I= \frac{V}{R}$

by looking at the equation, we can make the following observations:
1) The current is proportional to the voltage: therefore, if the voltage increases, the current increases as well; if the voltage decreases, the current decreases too.
2) The current is inversely proportional to the resistance: if the resistance increases, the current decreases, and if the resistance decreases, the current increases.

What is the difference between an elastic and inelastic collision

barxatty [35]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not

Explanation:

Let's define the two types of collision:

- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:

1) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved

Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.

- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:

1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved

In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.

The energy stored in a wooden log transforms when the log is burned. Which of the following explanations BEST describes how the

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.

A 41.0 g marble moving at 2.30 m/s strikes a 25.0 g marble at rest. What is the speed of each marble immediately after the colli

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

speed of each marble after collision will be 1.728 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the marble $m_1=41gram=0.041kg$

Velocity of marble $v_1=2.30m/sec$

Its collides with other marble of mass 25 gram

So mass of other marble $m_2=25gram=0.025kg$

Second marble is at so $v_2=0m/sec$

We have to find the velocity of second marble

From momentum conservation we know that

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_!+m_2)v$ , here v is common velocity of both marble after collision

So $0.041\times 2.30+0.025\times 0=(0.041+0.025)v$

v = 1.428 m /sec

So speed of each marble after collision will be 1.728 m/sec

A mass m = 14 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =5.7 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incl

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

W ≅ 292.97 J

Explanation:

1)What is the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline? (On the horizontal surface.)

Workdone by the tension before the block goes up the incline on the horizontal surface can be calculated using the expression;

W = (Fcosθ)d

Given that:

Tension of the force = 62 N

angle of incline θ = 34°

distance d =5.7 m.

Then;

W = 62 × cos(34) × 5.7

W = 353.4 cos(34)

W = 353.4 × 0.8290

W = 292.9686 J

W ≅ 292.97 J

Hence, the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline = 292.97 J

a college student produces about 100 kcal of heat per hour on the average what is the rate of energy production and joules

Bond [772]

Given:

Amount of heat produced = 100 kcal per hour

Let's find the rate of energy production in joules.

We know that:

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 4.184 Joules

To find the rate of energy production in Joules, we have:

$\begin{gathered} Rate=100\ast4.184 \\ \\ \text{Rate}=418.4\text{ KJ/hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of energy production in joules is 418.4 kJ/h which is equivalent to 418400 Joules

ANSWER:

418.4 kJ/h
