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 a person lifts a book of mass 2 kg from the floor to a tabletop, 1.5 m above the floor, how much work does the the perso
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a) 29.4 J

b) - 29.4 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the book, m = 2 kg

Height above the floor, h = 1.5 m

Now,

the work done by the person will be = Force applied on the book × displacement of the book

thus,

Work done by the person = mg × h

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

thus, on substituting the values, we get

Work done by the person = 2 × 9.8 × 1.5 = 29.4 J

now,

for the force applied by the gravitational pull (downwards) the displacement is in opposite direction (upwards) to the force of the gravity.

Thus,

work done by the gravity will be negative

therefore, the work done by the gravity = - mg × h

or

work done by the gravity = - 29.4 J

A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet
marin [14]

Answer:

option A is correct

Explanation:

Given:

The length to be painted = m miles

The width to be painted = t inches

Area painted in 1 gallon = p square feet

Converting the every given dimension in feet, we have

length to be painted = m × 5280 feet

width to be painted = t/12 feet

area to be painted = (m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet

now, applying the unitary method, we have

p square feet is painted ⇒ 1 gallon

1 square feet is painted ⇒ 1/p gallon

(m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet  square feet is painted ⇒ [(m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet ] × 1/p gallon

thus, we get the gallons of paint required as 5820 mt/12p

hence option A is correct
