How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half

beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: $V'=\frac{V}{2}$

So, the new current will be

$I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}$

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.

Engineers at the Space Centre must determine the net force needed for a rockets engine to achieve an acceleration of 70 m/s2. As

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3,150,000N

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

F = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 45000kg

acceleration = 70m/s^2

Substitute

F = 45000 * 70

F = 3,150,000N

Hence the force required to be produced by the rocket engines is 3,150,000N

4 (JAMB) The diagram below shows a light see-saw, which is balanced horizontally by the weights W₁, W2, W3, W4 in the positions

damaskus [11]

The equation that represents the principle of the lever balance is:

W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4; option A.

<h3>What is the principle of moments?</h3>

The principle of moments states when a body is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moment about a point equals the sum of anticlockwise moment about that point.

A see-saw represents a balanced system of moments.

The sum of clockwise moment = The sum of anticlockwise moments.

Assuming W1 and W2 are clockwise moments and W3 and W4 are anticlockwise moments.

The equation will b: W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4

In conclusion, a balanced see-saw illustrates the principle of the lever balance.

Radio waves transmitted through space at 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s by the Voyager spacecraft have a wavelength of 0.137 m. What is their fr

fredd [130]

Answer:

Frequency, $f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz$

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of radio waves is $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Wavelength of radio waves is $\lambda=0.137\ m$

It is required to find the frequency of the radio waves. The speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.137}\\\\f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz$

So, the frequency of the radio wave is $2.18\times 10^9\ Hz$ .

alekssr [168]

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height = 1/2 a T^2 now change to T/3

now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2 =<u> 1/9</u> 1/2 a T^2 <===== it is 1/9 of the way down or 8/9 h
