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.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The force exerted is 318.86 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by such a stream is calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of water by the velocity of the stream of water.

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

velocity = 14.9 m/s

Force exerted = 21.4 kg/s × 14.9 m/s = 318.86 kgm/s^2 = 318.86 N

Alina [70]
Temperature can change the state from solid to liquid causing it to melting, liquid to gas causing vaporization or a solid to a gas causing sublimation. Pressure alone cannot change the state of matter.

Katen [24]

If an experiment is conducted such that an applied force is exerted on an object, a student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object.

The  graph of the net force exerted on the object as a function of the object’s distance traveled is attached below.

  • A student could use the graph to determine the net work done on the object by Calculating the area bound by the line of best fit and the horizontal axis from 0m to 5m
