Answer:

The light bulb would glow brighter.

Explanation:

Resistance is the opposition to current flow and in Ohm's law is represented as a constant in the equation V = IR with V the voltage, I the current and R the resistance.

Now let's assume we are in a series circuit that has only one path for electricity to follow to better explain what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same. Based on ohm's law equation, the voltage is directly proportional to the current and the resistance is constant. An increase in the voltage is therefore an increase in the current  which flows throught the light bulb making it glow brighter while a decrease in voltage results in a decrease in current flowing through the light bulb making it dim.

A spherical capacitor contains a charge of 3.40 nC when connected to a potential difference of 240.0 V. Its plates are separated
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A) 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) r_a = 0.031 m

C) E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge;Q = 3.40 nC = 3.4 × 10^(-9) C

Potential difference;V = 240 V

Inner radius of outer sphere;r_b = 4.1 cm = 0.041 m

A) The formula for capacitance is given by;

C = Q/V

C = (3.4 × 10^(-9))/240

C = 1.4167 × 10^(-11) F

B) To find the radius of the inner sphere,we will make use of the formula for capacitance of spherical coordinates.

C = (4πε_o)/(1/r_a - 1/r_b)

Rearranging, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/r_b) = (4πε_o)/C

ε_o is a constant with a value of 8.85 × 10^(−12) C²/N.m

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(1/r_a - 1/0.041) = (4π × 8.85 × 10^(−12) )/(1.4167 × 10^(-11))

(1/r_a) - 24.3902 = 7.8501

1/r_a = 7.8501 + 24.3902

1/r_a = 32.2403

r_a = 1/32.2403

r_a = 0.031 m

C) Formula for Electric field just outside the surface of the inner sphere is given by;

E = kQ/r_a²

Where k is a constant value of 8.99 × 10^(9) Nm²/C²

Thus;

E = (8.99 × 10^(9) × 3.4 × 10^(-9))/0.031²

E = 3.181 × 10⁴ N/C

If the time for 20 vibrations is 100 second then find
Lilit [14]

hey guy

the vibration per second is frequency

then for 20 vibration time taken is 100 second

in 1 second 20/100 vibration took place

it means 0.2 is frequency

for time period , we have

t=1/f

=1/0.2

=5

A basketball player passes a ball to a teammate at a velocity of 6 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.51 kg. If the original player h
Vilka [71]

We can solve the problem by using conservation of momentum.

The player + ball system is an isolated system (there is no net force on it), therefore the total momentum must be conserved. Assuming the player is initially at rest with the ball, the total initial momentum is zero:

p_i = 0

The total final momentum is:

p_f = p_p + p_b

where p_p is the momentum of the player and p_b is the momentum of the ball.

The momentum of the ball is: p_b = mv=(0.51 kg)(6 m/s)=3.06 kg m/s

While the momentum of the player is: p_p = Mv_p, where M=59 kg is the player's mass and vp is his velocity. Since momentum must be conserved,

p_f = p_i = 0

so we can write

p_f = Mv_p + p_b =0

and we find

v_p = -\frac{p_b}{M}=-\frac{3.06 kg m/s}{59 kg}=-0.052 m/s

and the negative sign means that it is in the opposite direction of the ball.
