Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is $V = IR$ , where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

and

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation $R = \frac{V}{I}$ , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

Answer:

All the answers are solved and explained below.

Explanation:

Note: This questions lacks the initial and most necessary data to answer these following questions. I have found a related question. I will be considering that question to carry out the answers.

Question: A car with a mass of 1000 kg is at rest at a spotlight. when the light turns green, it is pushed by a net force of 2000 N for 10 s. (This was the information missing in this question).

Data Given:

m = 1000 kg

F = 2000N

t = 10s

Q1 Solution:

Acceleration = a = ?

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 2000/ 1000

a = 2 $m/s^{2}$

Q2: Solution:

Change in velocity = Δv = ?

acceleration = change in velocity / time

a = Δv/t

Δv = axt

Δv = 2 x 10

Δv = 20 m/s

Q3: Solution:

Impulse = I = ?

Impulse = Force x time

I = 2000 x 10

I = 20000 Ns

Q4: Solution:

Change in Momentum = Δp = ?

Δp = mΔv

Δp = 1000 x 20

Δp = 20000 Kgm/s

Q5: Solution:

Final velocity of the car at the end of 10 seconds = vf = ?

Δp = m x Δv

Δp = m x (vf-vi)

Δp = 1000 x (vf - 0 )

20000 = 1000 x vf

vf = 20000/1000

vf = 20 m/s

Q6: Solution:

Change in momentum the car experiences as it continues at this velocity?

Δp = ?

Δp = mΔv

Δp = m x (0)

Δp = 0

Q7: Solution:

Impulse = Change in momentum

Impulse = Δp

Implulse = 0

Q8: Solution:

Change in momentum = Δp = mΔv

Δp = m(vf-vi)

Δp = 1000 x (0-20)

Δp = -20000 kgm/s

Q9: Solution:

Impulse = Δp

Impulse = -20000 Ns

Q10: Solution:

Impulse = ?

Impulse = F x t

F = impulse/t

F = -20000/4s

F = -5000 N

Q11: Solution:

F = ma

a = ?

a = F/m

a = -5000/1000

a = -5 $m/s^{2}$

You lift a 45-newton bag of mulch 1.2 meters and carry it a distance of 10 meters to the garden. How much

zysi [14]

To lift the bag straight up takes (F · D) = (45 · 1.2) = 54 joules of energy (work).

Moving the bag horizontally 'across' gravity requires no work.
It doesn't matter how far.

A 2200 kg car starts from rest and speeds up to 12 m/s in 5.2 s. The net force acting on the car is?

zmey [24]

The acceleration is 12(m/s)/5.2s = 2.308m/s^2
F=ma, so
F=2200*2.308 = 5076.9N

Why can't passenger planes fly very high?

nalin [4]

The higher in the atmosphere, the less oxygen, and the more cold temperatures.

The material/moisture on the plane would freeze and damage the engine.

An archer aims his arrow directly at an orange hanging on an orange tree. At the moment he releases the arrow, the orange drops

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Yes it would

Explanation:

As the arrow and the orange are in the same position initially, vertically speaking. They are also subjected to the same gravitational acceleration g only in the vertical direction. They also start their motion at the same time. So their equation of motion can be written as

$y = h + gt^2/2$

Where h is the initial height of both of them. Since their g, h, and t are the same, their vertical position must be the same at the same time. As the arrows progress horizontally, it would hit the orange.
