Answer: A - it increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Ohm's law is V = IR where V = potential difference, I = current, and R = resistance. Assuming that resistance stays constant (since the question mentioned no change in resistance), we only need to look at "V" and "I" in the equation V = IR.

"V" and "I" are directly proportional. In other words, whatever change happens to "V" will also occur to "I". Since "V" increases by a factor of 4, then "I" will also increase by a factor of 4.

You could also approach this problem by plugging in a change of 4 for the potential difference in the equation: V = I*R.

If we plug in 4V for V, we now have:

4V = I*R

Since the left side increases by a factor of 4, then the right side (only looking at current in this case) will also need to increase by a factor of 4 in order to have the right side stay equal to the left. Therefore, current will also increase by a factor of 4.

Robert Hook discovered cells when viewing a _____ under a microscope.
sp2606 [1]
<span>What you need to do while answering this questions, is ask yourself what has cells - only if a thing has cells can you see those cells under a microscope. Objects of animal and plant origin have cells, so blood, plant and cork (made of tree bark) can have cells, and a box too, if it's made of wood. So we can''t exclude any answers based on this. We must then know the story of Robert Hook - and it was in fact a cork. He did this discovery around 1655. At the time his main interest was the microscope rather than the cork, and he used to cork to demonstrate the function of the microscope. The correct answer is CORK.</span>

When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?
Neko [114]
Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.
