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.

While traveling on a dirt road, the bottom of a car hits a sharp rock anda small hole develops at the bottom of its gas tank. If
tester [92]

Answer:

6.86 m/s

Explanation:

velocity of the gasoline through the hole would be

v = \sqrt {2gh}\\v = \sqrt {2\times 9.8\times 0.35} =6.86 m/s

As the height would decrease, the velocity of the flow would decrease.

If the lid of the tank would be closed, the pressure would reduce. so, again the velocity of the flow would reduce.

Which of these would have particles with the highest kinetic energy? Ice Water Water Vapor
umka2103 [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is water vapor.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • In evaporation of water, particles with high kinetic energy tend to leave the water surface.
  • Because high kinetic energy molecules move faster than others breaking bonds with other molecules.
  • And escape the water to air in form of vapors.
  • While the ice water contain molecules with low kinetic energy.

One of two 25-year-old identical twins begins a trip on a spaceship traveling at 0.8 c while her twin remains on Earth. The twin
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

This equation is based on twin paradox - a phenomena where one of the twin travels to space at a speed close to speed of light and the other remains on earth. the twin from the space on return discovers that the one on earth age faster.

Solution:

t_{o} = 10 years

v = 0.8c

c = speed of light in vacuum

The problem can be solved by time dilation equation:

t = \frac{t_{o}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}            (1)

where,

t = time observed from a different inertial frame

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

t = \frac{10}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.8c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t = 16.67 years

The age of the twin on spaceship according to the one on earth = 25+16.67 =41.66 years
