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.

How are adhesion and cohesion similar? how are they different?

<span> they're both properties of water. both involve the "sticking" property of H2O .</span><span> cohesion is "sticking" together (water sticking to water) and adhesios is water</span><span>
</span> "sticking" to something else. They are both important to life processes.

 <span>In chemistry, adhesion refers to the tendency of unlike molecules to bond with one another, while cohesion refers to the attractive force between molecules of the same type. Surface tension, which is an essential property of water, illustrates the relationship between adhesion and cohesion.</span>

1. Most waves are caused by vibrations. What motion in a transmitting antenna causes the vibrations that produce radio waves?
morpeh [17]
The answer 1 is
The best-known use of radio waves is for communication; television, cellphones and radios all receive radio waves and convert them to mechanical vibrations in the speaker to create sound waves that can be heard.Electromagnetic radiation is transmitted inwaves or particles at different wavelengths and frequencies.

the answer 2 is

Radio Waves: Instant Communication
Microwaves: Data and Heat

i think the answer number 3 is
It is all about wavelength versus tunnel diameter. The wavelength of GPS is about 20cm it would happily propagate in any normal tunnel if it could get in but the earth and other structures absorb it. AM radio (600kHz - 1500kHz) cannot propagate in any normal tunnel because the wavelength is too long (500m-200m) relative to the diameter, and thus gets reflected at the entrance. FM (100MHz ~ 3m) would propagate and it does for a while but then it suffers reflections

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of friction = μ N , where μ is coefficient of friction , N is normal force on the body .

a )

Given,

Normal force N = 400 N

Force of friction = 300 N

μ = coefficient of static friction = ?

Putting the values ,

300 = 400 μ

μ = .75

b )

Normal force N = 400 N

Force of friction = 200 N

μ = coefficient of kinetic  friction = ?

Putting the values ,

200 = 400 μ

μ = .50

c ) see attached file .
