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:

5.15348 Beats/s

4.55 mm

Explanation:

$v_1$ = Velocity of sound = 342 m/s

$v_2$ = Velocity of sound = 346 m/s

$f_1$ = First frequency = 440 Hz

Frequency is given by

$f_2=\frac{v_2}{2L_1}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\frac{346}{2\times 0.38863}\\\Rightarrow f_2=445.15348\ Hz$

Beat frequency is given by

$|f_1-f_2|=|440-445.15348|=5.15348\ Beats/s$

Beat frequency is 5.15348 Hz

Wavelength is given by

$\lambda_1=\frac{v_1}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=\frac{342}{440}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=0.77727\ m$

Relation between length of the flute and wavelength is

$\lambda_1=2L_1\\\Rightarrow L_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_1=\frac{0.77727}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_1=0.38863\ m$

At v = 346 m/s

$\lambda_2=\frac{v_2}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\frac{346}{440}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_1=0.78636\ m$

$L_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\frac{0.78636}{2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=0.39318\ m$

Difference in length is

$\Delta L=L_2-L_1\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.39318-0.38863\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.00455\ m=4.55\ mm$

It extends to 4.55 mm

Answer:

a) Θ = ω₀*t + ½αt² To complete first revolution 2π rads = 0*t + ½αt² and to complete the first and second combined 4π rads = 0*t + ½α(t+0.810s)² Divide second by first: 2 = (t + 0.810s)² / t² This is quadratic in t and has roots at t = -0.336 s ← ignore and t = 1.96 s ◄ b) Use either equation from above: 2π rads = 0*t + ½α(1.96s)² α = 3.27 rad/s² ◄ Hope this helps!
