Answer:

The current in the circuit increases

Explanation:

The ohm's law states that the potential across a circuit is proportional to the current in the circuit.

V ∝ I

Where 'V' is the potential difference across the circuit and 'I' is the current in the circuit.

The proportionality constant present in the equation is the resistance of the circuit. Hence, the equation becomes

V = IR

According to the equation, when V is directly proportional to 'I' where 'R' remains as constant, then the change in 'V is brings change in 'I' to make the equation valid.

So, when there is an increase in the voltage, the current on the circuit increases.

A ray of light contains two colors: red with wavelength of 660 nm and blue with wavelength 470 nm. The ray passes through two na

densk [106]

Answer:

The distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for each wavelength is 3.17 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 660 nm

Wavelength of blue = 470 nm

Separated d= 0.30 mm

Distance between screen and slits D= 5.0 m

We need to calculate the distance for red wavelength

Using formula for distance

$y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Where, D = distance between screen and slits

d = separation of slits

Put the value into the formula

$y=\dfrac{660\times10^{-9}\times5.0}{0.30\times10^{-3}}$

$y=11\ mm$

For blue wavelength,

Put the value into the formula again

$y'=\dfrac{470\times10^{-9}\times5.0}{0.30\times10^{-3}}$

$y'=7.83\ mm$

We need to calculate the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for each wavelength

Using formula for distance

$\Delta y=y-y'$

$\Delta y=11-7.83$

$\Delta y=3.17\ mm$

Hence, The distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for each wavelength is 3.17 mm.

A 2 kg mass is free falling in the negative Y direction when a 10 N force is exerted in the minus X direction. What is the accel

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The mass's acceleration is 5 m/s^2 in the minus X direction and 9,8 m/s^2 in the minus Y direction.

Explanation:

By applying the second Newton's law in the X and Y direction we found that in the minus X direction an external force of 10 N is exerted, while in the minus Y direction the gravity acceleration is acting:

X-direction balance force: $-10 [N] = m.ax$
