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.

An engineer wishes to design a roller coaster so that

nataly862011 [7]

To prevent cars from falling, the radius at the top of the circle should be

small such cars inverted at the top remain attached during motion.

Correct response;

The radius of the coaster can be <u>C) 20 m</u>

<h3>Method by which the above option is selected</h3>

Mass of roller coaster car, m = 500 kg

Speed at the top of the circle, v = 20 m/s

Required:

The maximum radius of the circular path the roller coaster car.

Solution:

$\displaystyle Centrifugal \ force, \, F_{c} = \mathbf{\frac{m \cdot v^2}{r}}$

Where;

r = The radius of the circular path.

Weight of the roller coaster car = m·g = The centripetal force

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

At equilibrium, we have;

Centrifugal force = Centripetal force

$\displaystyle \frac{m \cdot v^2}{r} = \mathbf{ m \cdot g}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle r = \mathbf{ \frac{v^2}{g}}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle r = \frac{20^2}{9.81} \approx 40.77$

The maximum radius for safety of a roller coaster, r ≈ 40.77 meters

$\displaystyle Range \ of \ radius \ of \ the \ circle = \frac{40.77}{4} \leq Radius \ of \ circle \leq 40.77$

Which gives;

Range of the radius of the circle = 10.2 ≤ Radius of circle ≤ 40.77

The correct option for safety considerations is therefore;

<u>C) 20 m</u>

balls a, with a mass of 20 kg, is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should Ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t

Leya [2.2K]

In that case, their momentum must be equal.
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!
