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.

A type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields is called
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

To understand it better:

This radiation is spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges and their sources can be natural or man-made.

It should be noted that the energy of electromagnetic radiation can vary and depending on its frequency it can be useful for various situations.

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}.............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value of a in above equation as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2

s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}

u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v

u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 65-kg swimmer pushes on the pool wall and accelerates at 6 m/s^2. The friction experienced by the swimmer is 100 N. How many N
Helga [31]

Answer:

490N

Explanation:

According Newton's second law!

\sum Force = mass × acceleration

Fm - Ff = ma

Fm is the moving force

Ff s the frictional force = 100N

mass = 65kg

acceleration = 6m/s²

Required

Moving force Fm

Substitute the given force into thr expression and get Fm

Fm -100 = 65(6)

Fm -100 = 390

Fm = 390+100

Fm = 490N

Hence the force that will cause two cart to move is 490N
