If temp. gets cold resistance in thermostat increases so voltage across it increases AND LED lights brighter. I understand every

thing except that for LED. It emits light when current passes through it, but if resistance increases how can current increase???​

Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller.  This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.

The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor.  It's a "thermistor".  The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor.  These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder.  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.

When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change.  Either way, the voltage across B increases.  Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.

This circuit could actually be a very useful device.  If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.

A car weighing 14,700 N is speeding down a highway with a velocity of 99 km/h. What is the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 148348.6239 kg•m/s

Explanation: Firstly, we need to convert the 14700 N into kilograms, and to do so, use the formula net force is equal to mass times acceleration and rearrange the formula to find mass like shown below...

F = ma

F/a = m

14700/9.81 = 1498.470948 kg, this is your mass

Now that we convert it into kilograms, plug all the numbers into the variable of the momentum formula.

Momentum formula is P = mass x velocity

Like this:

P = 1498.470948 x 99

p = 148348.6239 kg•m/s.

I believe that is your answer, hope that helps you even a bit out.

Thanks.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.

Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.

Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :

p = final momentum - initial momentum

p=-mv-mv\\\\p=-2mv

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

For an object that’s in static equilibrium which of the following statements must be true? Check all that apply.
Kobotan [32]
The statements that are held true with regards to the static equilibrium of bodies are:

<span>The net torque acting on the object must equal zero

</span><span>The net torque on the object does not have to be zero if the net force on the object is zero

Furthermore, when a body is in a state of static equilibrium, the summation of all forces, either vertically or horizontally, must be equal to zero. </span>

A 100-g toy car moves along a curved frictionless track. At first, the car runs along a flat horizontal segment with an initial
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 1.85 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The initial kinetic energy of the toy car can be calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · (2.66 m/s)² = 0.354 J

The gain in altitude produces a gain in potential energy. This gain in potential energy is equal to the loss in kinetic energy. So let´s calculate the potential energy of the toy car after gaining an altitude of 0.186 m.

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

PE = 0.100 kg · 9.8 m/s² · 0.186 m = 0.182 J

The final kinetic energy will be: 0.354 J - 0.182 J = 0.172.

Using the equation of kinetic energy, we can obtain the velocity of the toy car after running up the slope:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

0.172 J = 1/2 · 0.100 kg · v²

2 · 0.172 J / 0.100 kg = v²

v = 1.85 m/s

The final velocity of the car is 1.85 m/s
